Voices in the Static
Survivors report hearing snatches of choir music over emergency radios during ash storms.
Shared Hallucination or Signal?
- Audio logs show faint spectral lines during storms, like an overlaid hymn.
- Some infected hum along perfectly in sync, even when apparently unconscious.
It's unclear whether:
- The infection is using sound as a **carrier and synchronizer**,
- Or the original choir performance imprinted something into the city's very infrastructure.
Either way, every ash storm becomes a reminder that the city's soundscape has turned against its inhabitants.
