Conversation is a reciprocal act, yet it can become one-sided when one party remains closed off. The figure seated on the cracked wall wears a box with its "ears" open but looks away, symbolizing false engagement. The cold, distant background reinforces how hollow and isolating conversation can feel when mutual commitment is absent.
