Passage: {{passage}}
Current distance: {{current_distance}}
Desired distance: {{desired_distance}}

Adjust narrative distance through:

1. CLOSE DISTANCE (Intimate)
- Deep POV, no filtering
- Sensory immersion
- Thought presented as thought
- Emotional bleeding through description

2. MEDIUM DISTANCE (Standard third)
- Some filtering ("she thought")
- Balance of interiority and observation
- Reader as observer with access

3. FAR DISTANCE (Omniscient/Objective)
- Narrator authority
- Overview perspective
- Limited interiority
- Focus on observable action

Rewrite the passage at three distances. Explain when to use each and how to transition smoothly between distances within a scene.
