Summary
It was quiet, almost eerily so. Aside from his own shallow, quiet breaths next to nothing resonated in the walls. At random intervals, he became aware of little bits of other sounds; of the quiet ticking of the clock on the wall, the subdued hum of the refrigerator the next room over; footsteps from the apartment above him, a car on the streets outside—but the sounds were never long, never persistent. As soon as a noise came, it went, leaving him alone in a manufactured, artificial silence. Sitting. Fiddling. Prying at it.
This was supposed to be comforting. This was supposed to relax him, make him feel like he understood, like he was in control. Instead, he felt like he couldn’t grasp anything at all.
After a set of intrusive thoughts, Anasui locks himself in the bathroom to calm down the only way he knows how.
