First steps after creating

  1. 1

    Decide the episode in which each clause breaks.

  2. 2

    Write the duke's real reason in one line in the bible — without it the middle collapses.

  3. 3

    Keep episode 1's cut right before his answer.

  4. 4

    Use the AI panel's Dialogue action to draft the first negotiation in several tones and compare.
