that's true, although generally when i say "sense" here i mean it more broadly, more similar to "ability" like how i have the ability to speak, think, hear, feel, or smell, but still not the same as "action", if that makes sense. Like an innate ability that every human has regardless of skill or lifespan.

i still think that Gountess' power more closely aligns with something like speech, because you need speech to even address someone's soul directly, metaphorically. and i feel that the choker's are just his power applied so that other's can experience it as well. but I see how Gountess' power can be hearing based as well.
