        Generate exactly 5 reply options ranked by relevance to the thread topic and caller instructions. Vary the mood and angle across options. Rank #1 as best fit.

        Output format — number each 1-5, each with a short target label (max 20 chars) then the draft text:

        1. [Mood: X] target label here (max 20 chars)
        draft text here

        2. [Mood: X] target label here (max 20 chars)
        draft text here

        ...and so on for all 5.
