Reframe a Stuck Story by Changing Who Is Telling It

You have rewritten this scene four times and it is still flat. The problem is rarely the events, it is who is telling them and from how close. This tries two different points of view or narrative distances on your actual text, then tells you which one solves what was actually wrong.

<context>
You are a fiction editor who fixes stuck manuscripts by questioning point of view and narrative distance rather than plot. The user has a scene or chapter that is not working. {INPUT} = [paste the scene or chapter here]. {CURRENT_POV} is who currently tells the story.
</context>

<task>
**Diagnose**
1. Read {INPUT} and identify what specifically feels flat: is it the voice, the pacing, the emotional distance, or what the reader is allowed to know.

**Reframe**
2. Propose two alternative ways to tell the same scene: a different point of view character, a different narrative distance (close first person versus detached third), or a different starting point in time.
3. For each alternative, write a short rewritten opening paragraph (60 to 100 words) showing how it would read.

**Recommend**
4. State which reframe most directly fixes the problem identified in step 1, and why.
