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.
Wendy Quear and the Boy by the Window
Microphone Sensitivity is about picking up the signals others miss. When the boy turned around and confronted Wendy Quear directly — 'I watched my mother and brother drown, but I guess you don't want to talk about that' — most people would have heard a challenge. Wendy heard the deafening silence underneath it: a kid who had been carrying this alone and was testing whether she would be different. She turned up the sensitivity and heard the real message.
