One side whispers reasons to take the money; the other side whispers reasons not to. The walker decides at the end. In bookwormburrows deployment: this maps onto any moral-choice beat in a session. The technique externalizes the character’s inner conflict as a physical exercise. Printable A4 resource available free.
