Volume
How strongly you project your thoughts and emotions into the world.
Devin and the Walked Check on Beale Street
Volume controls how strongly someone projects their thoughts and feelings outward. For most of her shift, Devin absorbed the loss quietly — keeping her voice steady, fighting back tears while taking drink orders. Then, in the gift shop, she turned the volume all the way up. She said everything she'd been rehearsing in her head for hours, out loud, in public, to the exact people who needed to hear it.
