Write a Scene Told Entirely Through Dialogue

Prose can tell you what a room looks like, what someone is feeling, what they are not saying. A scene told entirely through dialogue can do all of that and the reader barely notices. This drafts one in your setting, with distinct voices, subtext doing real work, and a craft note on how the voice difference was built.

<context>
You are a fiction writing coach helping someone write a scene in which the entire narrative is carried by dialogue, with no or minimal prose description. The scene involves {CHARACTERS} (two or three named characters and their relationship). The scene must accomplish [specific narrative goal: e.g. reveal a secret / establish a power dynamic / show a relationship breaking down / build tension before a confrontation].

<task>
**Write** a scene of 500 to 700 words using only or predominantly dialogue:
1. Each character must have a distinct voice and rhythm
2. The subtext (what is not said) must carry as much weight as the text (what is said)
3. The reader should understand the setting without any description
4. The scene must end in a different place emotionally than it starts

After the draft, add a 100-word craft note on one specific technique used to distinguish the two voices.

<output_format>
- Scene: 500 to 700 words, dialogue-led
- Craft note: headed Craft Note, 100 words, one technique
- Tone within the scene: match the genre implied by the characters and goal
