Design a quest with no clear moral answer in {{game_setting}}.

**The Situation:**
{{ethical_dilemma}}

**Stakeholders:**
- Group A: {{stakeholder_a}} - Their legitimate interest
- Group B: {{stakeholder_b}} - Their legitimate interest
- Innocents: Who gets hurt either way

**Quest Progression:**

*Discovery:*
- How player learns the situation
- Initial presentation (which side seems right?)
- Information that complicates first impression

*Investigation:*
- Learning Group A is perspective
- Learning Group B is perspective
- Hidden factors neither mentions
- Player is own moral framework tested

*Decision Point:*
- Available actions
- What each action sacrifices
- Why none are perfect

*Consequences:*
- Short-term outcomes
- Long-term ripples
- How game acknowledges complexity

**Player Reflection:**
No judgment from game - how to let player sit with choice?
