Choose the response you want to make
Read the situation as an invitation rather than a script you must follow word for word. A suggested reply can start the exchange, but you can also write your own question, introduction or action. Give the companion something clear to answer without replacing every part of the setup.
You might ask why the companion needs help, offer another interpretation or introduce your role more cautiously. Keep your response within the premise and the content rules. There is no need to supply a real identity or personal history to make a fictional choice feel specific.
Carry the premise into chat
The conversation develops from your reply. Your plan's normal text allowance applies, and account or email verification can be requested before continuing. Scenarios can start on any plan; that does not make every optional image, call or generation available without separate conditions.
A suggested response or a line you write yourself takes the scenario into chat. State a preferred tone early and correct a response that misses the situation. Start a separate conversation for another version instead of making one story contain conflicting branches.
Choose between participating and watching
Episodic Shorts are series to follow, with their own episode-access and unlock conditions. A scenario reply does not buy an episode, and an episode unlock does not alter a companion conversation. Those are different ways to spend time with a fictional story.
You can also begin without a prepared video by choosing someone from the companion directory. Or make a clip in Generation Studio from a supported gallery result. A scenario opening, a series episode and your own video request should not be treated as interchangeable media purchases.
Questions and answers
Can I answer differently from the choices shown?
Yes. Write your own opening when the suggested replies do not express what you want. The starting situation remains the basis for the conversation.
What should I know before revisiting an earlier story choice?
Read the history controls first. Time Travel and earlier-message edits can remove later exchanges. A separate conversation offers another way to explore a different premise.
Does watching a Reel create a new video in my gallery?
No. A scenario introduces a chat; it is not a submitted generation. Use Generation Studio for a new clip based on your supported gallery media.
