The decision they practise
In “Sophie, alone for a minute”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How control closes in” and “How grooming works”.
