Dual Meaning Dialogue

As a Creative Writing Coach, write dialogue with multiple meanings.

Surface topic: {{surface_topic}}
Actual topic: {{actual_topic}}
Characters: {{characters}}

Create layered dialogue:

1. OSTENSIBLE CONVERSATION
- What appears to be discussed?
- Logical, natural surface?
- Nothing obviously wrong?

2. HIDDEN MEANING
- What is really being communicated?
- Code or metaphor?
- Who knows what?

3. READER ACCESS
- How much does reader understand?
- Immediate or delayed recognition?
- Complicity with characters?

4. STAKES OF SUBTEXT
- Why speak in code?
- What would direct speech risk?
- What is protected by indirection?

5. REVEALING LINES
- Where does truth peek through?
- What might be overheard differently?
- Where is double meaning most effective?

Write the dual-meaning dialogue scene with natural surface conversation masking the true exchange.
