The ear
The Ear She had been told what sounds she should and should not hear. If she heard the sounds she was not supposed to hear, after being struck hard on the head with a firm fist—so hard that she could hear the sound of her body’s cartilage breaking—she would be forever covered in something called cotton. And over time, that cotton would become her identity, and she would forget who she had been and what her abilities were. But we must not forget that hearing is just as important as not hearing, though it is less popular.
