We both stand there, cold wind freezing the blood in our faces as we look over the city lights and at the frozen waters far down below. “So what do you do when you come here? Nothing?” I ask. “Silence. I enjoy the silence,” he tells me simply. I pause before speaking again. “I hate silence, it’s boring and scary, and… I just hate being left alone with my scrambled thoughts,” I tell him. “Sometimes silence can mean not entertaining your thoughts too. Just peace and stillness from everything, especially your thoughts,” he explains, turning to me. “How?” “Just don’t think.”

Occasionally, he hummed, but not a melody I recognized—more like a private rhythm that only he could hear. “You ever notice how quiet the world gets right before it tries to kill you?” I asked, my voice cutting through the hum of the engine and the whispering wind. He glanced at me, a grin tugging at his lips. “Quiet’s just the lullaby before chaos shows up fashionably late.” I rolled my eyes. “Poetic. Also terrifying.” “Terrifying’s my specialty,” he replied, then added softly, “Yours too, apparently.” I let that hang. Silence felt safer than words sometimes. I traced the rain streaks sliding down the window with a finger, pretending I wasn’t scanning the shadows for movement, for heat sign

she asked. Adrian shook his head. “Too quiet.” She chuckled. “You’re the only person I’ve met who thinks quiet is a bad thing.” Adrian exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “I spent years listening to my own thoughts. Sometimes, silence is worse.” She was quiet for a moment before she spoke again. “You don’t have to be alone anymore.” Adrian turned to her, his chest tightening. “I don’t know how to be anything but alone.”

It is also because of this monstrous personality that when taking a break or at lunch, everyone invites everyone to go together, only me is silent alone, no one has any intention of inviting me to go with me, which I have just heard just want quiet. Today as usual, when everybody went to eat together, the room fell into silence, to the point where I could hear my own breath. I wasn't very hungry, so I leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair, gently closing my eyes and feeling this rare peace. No more laughing or scolding, that is really quiet... quiet.

"I didn't know it was a ceiling until I came here and I put it down and realized I had been carrying it so long I had stopped noticing." "What does it feel like without it," I said. He thought about it carefully. "Like a very quiet room," he said. "When it's been loud for a long time and then it isn't." He paused. "I don't know what to do with the quiet yet." "You don't have to do anything with it," I said. "For a while, the quiet is the point." He looked at me. "You don't give advice unless it's directly useful," he said.

She walks with her arms crossed not in defensiveness but in the way people do when they're thinking hard and need to hold themselves together to do it. I let the silence run. I've always been comfortable with silence. Most people feel the need to fill it — they start talking and the talking becomes noise and the noise becomes the thing that prevents anything real from happening. Vera doesn't do that. She sits inside silence the same way she sat inside that bar at the gala — like she owns it. It's the thing about her I keep coming back to without meaning to. She is the only person I've met who is louder when she isn't speaking.

She didn't need to wear her wealth; her mind was her greatest asset. "It's a tough industry," Xavier said, his tone softening with genuine respect. "Very competitive, especially for independent firms. It can be a bit of a shark tank." "I've dealt with my fair share of sharks, Mr. Knight," Selah said lightly. "In my experience, the loudest ones usually have the weakest bite." Xavier stared at her, fascinated by her poise. She was sharp, classy, and carried an undeniable, quiet authority that didn't rely on flashy jewels or loud declarations.

That's how people on the edge of divorce should act. Worried Prof. Dalloz might go in harder, I leaned close. "Prof. Dalloz, we're on his plane. Maybe ease up a little?" Another cold snort. But he didn't say a word. Just stared out the window. "I'm gonna rest for a bit," he said, eyes drifting shut. That was the last time he did. He looked the same—head high, back straight. Even in death, he still carried that quiet pride.

Too complete. That’s when the thought finally clarifies. Silence isn’t the absence of observation. It’s the removal of interference. If this is a study—then this is the part where they stop nudging. Where they see what I do when no one speaks to me. When nothing guides me. When the only stimulus left is my own mind. A chill runs through me, despite the warmth of the air.

I couldn’t speak until I was eight years old. Everyone in the Sterling family called me dumb. Even my mother would secretly wipe away tears, convinced she had given birth to an autistic daughter. Whenever my father looked at me, his eyes were filled with nothing but disappointment. However, for the sake of the family’s reputation, he could never bring himself to send me away to a special education school.
