High fit

Volume is about how strongly someone projects themselves into the world. Faye Lane had spent her childhood having her volume pushed down by other kids — teased, humiliated, told in a hundred ways that she was too much and not enough at the same time. Standing at the curtain unable to breathe was the lowest her volume had ever been. Walking out and singing was turning it all the way up — not quietly, not tentatively, but with a bedazzled costume and a solo written just for her.
