Microphone Sensitivity
How much you hear. Controls whether you pick up on the quiet signals — tone shifts, what someone didn't say, the things most people miss.
Clark and Standing Up for Mom
Microphone Sensitivity is how much Clark picks up on subtle signals others miss. While adults were focused on the surface conversation, Clark was reading his mother's body language, tone, and emotional state. He could sense when she was being too apologetic or backing down, which is why he kept coaching her through the microphone. He also picked up on Tessa's genuine remorse and vulnerability, which shifted his approach from confrontational to understanding.
