He had always made it clear how much he valued peace and quiet, a steady calm that kept things in order. Most of the time, they respected that unspoken rule, but today they seemed determined to test his limits. Leaning closer from her seat, they started teasing him, their voice soft and playful, their whispers brushing against his ear. He didn’t respond at first, but the faint smirk tugging at their lips only encouraged them to push further.

He finally had enough of their tactics.

The car hummed as they drove, the vibrations pulsing steadily beneath their seat. At first, they tried not to react, leaning against the car door, but he turned the level up one.

“Please,” They whispered, their tone softer now, almost apologetic. "T..turn it off..."

His expression didn’t change. His jaw remained set, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, as if they hadn’t spoken at all. Instead of answering them, his hand moved to the controls, and with a deliberate twist, he turned the vibrations up even higher.

The hum intensified, buzzing louder through the car, and they could only sink back into the seat, the earlier confidence crumbling. His indifference was maddening, yet it was clear—he wasn’t going to give in. If this was their way of playing a game, they'd already lost.
