Trigger: A basement flood uncovers a box of old love letters. Members: Mother (secretly had an affair 20 years ago, grieves the lost lover), Father (secretly knew, stayed for the kids, now feels vindicated), Daughter (secretly wants parents to divorce, feels suffocated by their “happy act”), Son (secretly had an affair himself, fears being exposed). Unspoken rule: “We are a faithful, traditional family.” Scene: Daughter confronts mother in the wet basement—not about the affair, but about wasting years pretending. | Type of Dynamic | Example Line |
