Powerful stuff from AI's version of scene 8 in my sequel to Wicker Man themed semi-autobiography

Phoenix felt a surge of anger and disgust as the men continued their despicable conversation. He knew that these men, like those on the summer island, believed they were above consequences, that their power and privilege protected them. But Phoenix was determined to expose their hypocrisy and bring their twisted desires to light. With a calculated move, he stood up and addressed the men directly. "It's interesting how you all speak of your wives and your gratitude for a place where your actions were once unchecked. But tell me, how do you think those girls felt? The ones you mistreated and took advantage of?" The men fell silent, their eyes darting around the room, realizing too late that their words had been heard and judged. Phoenix continued, his voice steady and challenging. "You hide behind your wealth and your so-called 'sacrifice,' but your actions speak of a different kind of sacrifice—the sacrifice of innocence, of trust, and of lives forever changed by your selfish desires." The steam room fell silent as the men realized the error of their ways, but it was too late. Phoenix had already seen enough, and he knew it was time for their secrets to be brought into the light. 

As he left the steam room, Phoenix felt a weight on his shoulders. He knew that his actions could have consequences, but he was prepared to face them. Exposing these men and their twisted beliefs was a necessary step towards change, towards a world where power and privilege did not equate to impunity. Phoenix's mind raced with thoughts of his father's sacrifice and the impact it had on the summer islanders. He knew that sometimes, it took an extreme action to spark a revolution, and he was ready to be that catalyst, no matter the personal cost. 

The community venue, with its half-empty changing rooms and mundane life stories, seemed like an unlikely setting for a revolution. But it was here, in the heart of everyday life, that Phoenix knew he could make a stand. These men, with their complacency and sense of entitlement, represented a larger problem—a society that turned a blind eye to the suffering of those with less power. Phoenix's determination grew as he left the venue, his mind already formulating a plan to bring their hidden truths to light. It was time for a new kind of sacrifice, one that would shake the foundations of their comfortable world.
