The city loomed above her — a sprawl of vertical metal veins and glowing signs, buzzing with synthetic life. “Welcome to Echelon-7,” a digital voice chimed from her wristband. “Population: 62 million. Noise rating: 87 decibels. Emotional pulse: erratic.” She adjusted the strap on her backpack and pulled her hood up. Towering above her, translucent holo-billboards flashed promises of engineered dreams and augmented reality therapy. Down below, the streets breathed in pulses — drones zipped past, vending bots barked offers, and the pavement itself blinked underfoot with embedded light grids. Aya had come here to disappear — to start over. After months in isolation on a deep-orbit colony, the city felt like a different planet. Loud, fast, relentless. She rented a capsule apartment on Level 43 of an old industrial stack — barely enough room to lie down, but it had a window. Through it, she could see the shimmer of flying cars slicing through low clouds and the ever-present glow of the city that never dimmed. The first night, she couldn't sleep. The hum of power cores, the constant buzz of the network, even her thoughts — everything felt amplified. Her nervous system, already threadbare from the years of synthetic work cycles, was vibrating. But Aya remembered something — a practice an old engineer had taught her, back on the mining rig. A way to find stillness, even when surrounded by machines. She powered down her commlink. Slid open the window slightly. And sat on the floor, legs crossed, hands open. She closed her eyes. At first, all she could hear was noise — the city breathing, humming, flashing. But she didn’t fight it. She breathed with it. In… out… just like the city pulsed. She imagined the lights outside softening… the drones slowing… her mind syncing with something slower, quieter. Minutes passed. Maybe hours. Eventually, Aya felt it — not silence, but space. A gentle awareness behind the chaos. Her breath became her anchor. Her body softened. For the first time in a long time, she wasn't running from the noise… she was resting inside it. The city hadn’t changed. But she had. From then on, every night, amidst the glow of circuitry and concrete, she returned to her breath — carving out a sanctuary of stillness in the heart of Echelon-7.
