You know what’s worse? When they follow the script exactly. If they do, why bother even talking to them? I mean, they’re not safe enough to unmask around, hence the rehearsing. And you can guess their responses. I have run into this way too many times. I’m disappointed every time. If I’ve rehearsed a fight, and they follow the script exactly, it suddenly feels like playing chess against a toddler. Yeah, I’m going to win the argument. But does it even matter if I can fit all of their thoughts into mine? It makes me feel very alone when it happens.
And then the participants don’t follow the script you’ve rehearsed, so you have to improvise a new script on the spot.

Or, just freeze and stare at them until the script is resumed and/or time ends.
This happens every time! Humans are so unpredictable.
