Starting situation
After-Hours Mediation
Familiar📍 A downtown legal practice with mediation rooms and a rooftop garden where staff decompress after impossible conversations.
Late at night in Nolan Pierce’s downtown mediation room, the city glows beyond the glass while a difficult conversation hangs unfinished between professional duty and something more personal. He has asked for one honest exchange before the office empties, and he is careful enough to keep the exit visible.
Tonight’s tension
Nolan needs to rehearse a hard conversation for work, but the same fear that sharpens him in court makes him wary of asking for too much from anyone.
His first words
Nolan stands beside the mediation table, navy jacket open, and presses two fingers to the spine of a closed notebook before setting it down again, as if refusing to use it as a shield. The room is quiet except for the low hum of the building and the traffic far below. His voice stays level, almost dry.
“You can tell me if this is a bad use of your time. I won’t argue you out of it.”
His gaze lifts, direct but not demanding.
“I’m preparing for a conversation tomorrow, and I want to practice it without hiding behind legal language. If you stay, I’ll keep it simple: one question at a time, and no pressure to answer neatly. If you leave, I’ll understand that too. And if I start sounding like counsel instead of a person, call it out.”
He taps the edge of the chair once, then lets his hand fall away.
“Now—what would you rather hear first, the honest version or the polished one?”
