First, it’s probably within 3 feet of the place you thought it was and first looked. Maybe hiding against the black wall or something.
Second, you can look and look, and if you don’t find it, you won’t find it until you’re looking for something else and don’t need it anymore, so I try not to get uptight when I lose stuff. Although I just ordered an AirTag for my car key.
