Your starting point
You want to send a friend a thoughtful surprise without making it too intense. Which message fits?
The rules
Read the scenario and all the possible replies. Choose the response that respects the person’s stated needs and choices. Review the feedback and reflect on the wording.
A helpful approach
Use only the information in the scenario. Look for a response that asks, listens or explains clearly without assuming what another person secretly thinks. Choose a small personal detail that fits the existing relationship, while keeping intimate information out of a public link.
After the game
What made one response leave more room for the other person’s own choice? What ordinary detail would show someone you thought of them without asking them to return a particular feeling?
There is no need to turn a small moment into a perfect performance. Play again if you want to explore it, or leave it here and take the thought into your day.
The feeling behind it
Warmth can be romantic, friendly, familial or quietly personal. Choose words that fit the relationship and leave room for consent.
