I felt the spark of something playful here! "WOW" breaks the tension in an unexpected way. I wanted more—what *feeling* does that moment hold?

This pulls me out of the scene. The emotional weight of that suspended moment dissolves when you interrupt it with commentary instead of feeling.

"WOW" is the writer's voice, not the character's experience. What does the *outlaw* feel in that suspended moment? That's where the depth lives.
