Bang.
It was intense. A noise so loud he couldn't process it before it ricocheted around his brain. He waited for it to stop. He waited for it to go away so he could know what was happening again.
And then it didn't.
3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10. He can't hear. He can't. Hear.
He covers his ears. Uncovers them. He can't hear. His breath shakes just a bit more than it did before.
He already can't do much, especially in this godawful place where he can't figure out the layout. Where he can't get his own food. Where people baby him to hell and back until he feels completely useless.
If he loses his hearing too. If he loses the one thing he has.
What will his parents do? What about Naemi? What about his family? He can't go home like this.
And then there's a ring. And he sighs so loud it sounds like a cry.
And then there's screaming. He missed something, but he can hear.
