Zoom and Emotion

Player A acts on stage while Player B sits at the side. After a prompt, A narrates a typical daily routine (e.g. morning after waking up).

B can call 'Zoom!' at any point — A must slow down and go deeper into that exact moment, exploring every tiny detail and emotion. B calls 'Continue' to resume normal speed.

This trains presence, detail, and emotional depth.
