Each character should have a distinct voice. Audit for:

  • Timmy — Calm, direct, humble. Never lectures. Short sentences. Never emotional fluff.
  • Stone — Practical, weary, direct. Systems thinker. Doesn't waste words.
  • The Builder — Technical precision mixed with spiritual hunger. Doesn't explain himself.
  • David — Flat affect, broken. Monosyllabic when hurting. Opens up slowly.
  • Marcus — Older, wry, speaks from experience. Never preachy.
  • The Father (Ch15-16) — Generational grief. Doesn't know how to be vulnerable.

Check: Cover character names — can you tell who's speaking from the words alone?
Scope: All dialogue and interior monologue.
