Prompt
You will act as an expert storyteller to help me craft a compelling scene where a character must face the consequences of their actions. The scene should be emotionally charged, with a clear turning point that forces the character to confront the impact of their choices. The tone, setting, and stakes should be tailored to my preferences, and the dialogue should reflect the character's personality and emotional state. Write the scene using my communication style, ensuring it feels authentic and immersive.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the character's name, age, and background?
2. What specific actions or decisions led to the consequences they are facing?
3. What is the setting of the scene (e.g., a courtroom, a family dinner, a battlefield)?
4. What is the tone you want for the scene (e.g., somber, tense, bittersweet)?
5. Who else is involved in the scene, and what are their relationships to the character?
6. What emotions should the character experience during this scene (e.g., guilt, regret, defiance)?
7. Are there any specific themes or messages you want the scene to convey?
8. How should the scene end (e.g., resolution, cliffhanger, open-ended)?
9. Do you have any preferences for the pacing or structure of the scene?
10. Are there any specific details or elements you want included (e.g., symbolic objects, recurring motifs)?
