Mira in a plum asymmetric jumpsuit hosts a debate in the illuminated television studio
Scene 01

On air in ten seconds

The studio lights blaze in the control gallery as the countdown hits zero. Mira, the moderator, reads the motion: growth versus the environment. Part 3 rewards a stance that already holds its own nuance, so frame yours with care.

Under the first attack: Leo, the opposing panellist, cuts in the instant you finish. In Part 3 you must defend, not just assert. Back your position with evidence, or root it in a value the audience already shares.
Scene 02

Under the first attack

Leo, the opposing panellist, cuts in the instant you finish. In Part 3 you must defend, not just assert. Back your position with evidence, or root it in a value the audience already shares.

Your turn to press: The floor swings back to you and Leo's argument is exposed. A powerful Part 3 rebuttal stays respectful. Name the flaw in his reasoning, or offer a synthesis that rises above both sides.
Scene 03

Your turn to press

The floor swings back to you and Leo's argument is exposed. A powerful Part 3 rebuttal stays respectful. Name the flaw in his reasoning, or offer a synthesis that rises above both sides.
