Music over life
Number 23 never went anywhere without their headphones. Music was the only thing that quieted the voices in their mind, so every song became a safe place they could escape to.
One day, their headphones broke. 23 wandered the streets in silence, frightened by thoughts they couldn't drown out. When someone finally handed them a new pair, they smiled for the first time in weeks, pressed play, and closed their eyes as the world faded into the only place where they felt at peace.
