Deep POV

Close third that erases narrator filter — thoughts feel like first person in "he/she." POV choices are contracts about knowledge and voice — break them deliberately, not accidentally.

As a technique, it is a deliberate move — judge it by effect in context, not by blanket ban.

This term narrows the broader idea of **psychic distance** — keep parent and child roles distinct in outlines.

In revision, ask whether the move earns its place in this scene — techniques work when they change reader understanding or feeling.
