She thought about her broken refrigerator. Her unpaid bills. The voicemail from her mother she hadn't returned.
Not silence, exactly. Silence has weight. This was a vacuum. Sora sat up in her studio apartment and realized she could not hear the hum of the refrigerator, the sigh of the radiator, or the distant wail of a police siren three blocks over.
Sora, a sound engineer who had spent five years removing unwanted noise from other people's music, knew this was impossible. An acapella isn't "clean" in the wild. It’s messy. It has breaths, tongue clicks, the rustle of a sweater. But this... this was sterile. Perfect. Uncanny.

The city was frozen. A man mid-stride on the sidewalk, his coffee cup suspended an inch from his lips. A taxi’s headlights locked in eternal bloom. No wind. No birds. The only movement was the voices, threading through the stillness like a current.

One of the silhouettes turned. She couldn't see a face, just the shape of a girl her own age. The figure tilted its head and extended a hand. Not an invitation. A question. Not silence, exactly
“Are you cool with it?” the voices asked in unison.
“You know me like no other...”
Her fingers curled around the door handle. The voices swelled, waiting.
What she could hear was her own heartbeat. And then, a whisper of layered voices.
