KIRA'S POV.A faint, distorted sound whispered through my earbuds, like a soft hiss of someone speaking just out of reach. My heart skipped a beat, and I froze mid-step, gripping the earbuds tightly.“What… what was that?” I murmured, my voice trembling slightly, though no one answered. The forest was eerily silent except for the wind rustling through the branches.I pulled the earbuds out and put it back in. Nothing. Not even the music I had been blasting moments ago. My fingers fumbled over the small device I’d connected it to, tapping, pressing, and trying to make it work. “Come on… work!” I muttered.Minutes ago it had been fine. Now it refused to play anything at all. I hit it, feeling frustrated, my nails digging into the plastic casing but it still didn't work.I clenched the device tighter in my hand, trying to restart it, but nothing happened. Not a single note played, not even static.I tapped the device again, harder this time, as if brute force could bring it back to life.
