Problem: Callum, a talented cellist who has won a place at a prestigious music academy, is experiencing boredom with playing the cello.

Conflicting desires and feelings of confusion leave Callum unsure of what to do next.

Scenario 2

Problem: Amber loves playing tennis but doesn't have her own racket, so she relies on borrowing her friend Daisy's racket.

Unfortunately, Amber leaves the borrowed racket on the bus, and despite her efforts to locate it, it remains missing. Amber feels upset, guilty, and unsure of how to proceed, as she doesn't know how to address the situation with Daisy and her parents.
