Write a dialogue scene between:
- Character A: {{character_a}}
- Character B: {{character_b}}
Situation: {{situation}}
Surface goal: {{surface_goal}} (what they SAY they want)
Hidden goal: {{hidden_goal}} (what they ACTUALLY want)
Write a scene where:
1. The subtext is more important than the text
2. Each character has a distinct voice
3. The power dynamic shifts at least once
4. Something is revealed but not stated directly
5. The dialogue advances the story/relationship
After the dialogue, explain:
- The subtext in each exchange
- What each character is hiding
- How this scene changed their relationship
Tips
- People rarely say exactly what they mean
- Conflict doesn't mean arguing - it means wants in opposition
- What characters DON'T say is often most revealing
