The Listener

The audience's emotional response to 'The Listener' is primarily driven by a strong sense of **Empathy** for the protagonist as he grapples with the overwhelming burden of telepathically experiencing others' pain and thoughts, especially in his role as a paramedic. This leads to significant **Anxiety** and **Sadness** as he encounters distressing situations and the darker aspects of human nature through his powers. A pervasive **Melancholy** reflects the weight of his unique ability, while **Disturbing** elements arise from the crime aspects and the raw thoughts he perceives. **Curiosity** and **Surprise** are key as the audience explores the implications of his powers and the unfolding mysteries, alongside **Anticipation** for how he will use or cope with his new reality.
