The ear of FOMO-driven twenty-something Joyce has had enough. Day in, day out, it is overstimulated by noise, crowds, and relentless haste. Yet the ear itself is never truly heard. So, it decides to break free from Joyce and sets off in search of a new owner – someone who values silence, pays attention, and truly listens. But does such a person still exist in this noisy, FOMO-driven world?
