Soliloquy
Captions available
The idea
A soliloquy is a speech delivered by a character alone on stage, or believing themselves alone, giving thought directly to the audience. The glossary has no headword, so this is the standard sense. The convention is that a soliloquy is sincere, which is what makes it evidence.
In practice
Alone, and thinking aloud.
Where people slip
The convention is sincerity.
