Everything was... So... Loud. It hurt. Why weren't his headphones working? They were supposed to cancel out the noise... He couldn't think straight. There were so many people, too much noise.

His movements stopped, he was simply standing with his hands against his ears while in the middle of the street. The people walking around him went by.

His breathing quickened, panic coursing through his veins. He couldn't focus. He couldn't think.
