She found the source in an abandoned laundromat. The glass doors were frosted, but inside, four silhouettes stood in a loose circle. They weren't singing at each other. They were singing into the space between them, weaving a net of consonants and vowels.

“Cool with you...”

Then she thought about how beautiful it felt to hear nothing at all.

Her fingers curled around the door handle. The voices swelled, waiting. -Clean Acapella- NewJeans - Cool With You

She did. That was the terrifying part. The voice knew about the argument she'd had with her mother three years ago. It knew about the dog she ran over at seventeen and never told anyone about. It knew the exact frequency of the loneliness that buzzed in her chest at 3:00 AM.

The city was frozen. A man mid-stride on the sidewalk, his coffee cup suspended an inch from his lips. A taxi’s headlights locked in eternal bloom. No wind. No birds. The only movement was the voices, threading through the stillness like a current.

Sora pressed her palm to the cold glass. The lead voice—airy, almost indifferent—floated to her:

The acapella drifted through her open window, though her window was closed. It wasn't a song playing on a speaker. It was pure . No bass, no synth, no drums. Just the honeyed, breathy stack of human voices—NewJeans' harmonies stripped bare—floating like smoke through the pre-dawn blue.
