Life shapes each person's identity, whether intentionally or not. Y/N, a teenage introvert, cherished her solitude and independence. She found solace in listening to music in her room, a sanctuary of sorts. However, her life took a turn when she beg...
Y/N was about to help Taylor, but a sudden cry made her turn back. She recognized the voice as Ashlyn's. Y/N's heart sank as she heard Ashlyn's cry. When she looked over, she noticed Ashlyn kneeling down, covering her ears with her hands to block out the noises. She knew she had to make a split-second decision - help Taylor or go to Ashlyn's aid.
"Ashlyn!" Aiden called out to her, but suddenly he was punched in the face.

Y/N quickly turned around and saw Taylor struggling a bit. "Go to her, I've got this," Taylor said as she groaned under the grip of purple hair.
Y/N hesitated for a moment, but then her eyes narrowed with determination. She gave a quick nod before turning away from the fight and running towards the distressed redhead.
Amidst all the chaos, with everyone fighting, she focused on helping Ashlyn. She crouched down and saw Ashlyn trembling, wanting everything to stop. Y/N was confused as to why Ashlyn was covering her ears. She anxiously asked, "A-ah, um! What's wrong, Ashlyn?!"
"I-ITS...SO LOUD!" Ashlyn cried out.
It made Y/N quickly realized how loud it was, triggering her sensitivity to noise. Y/N had momentarily forgotten about this amidst everything else.
Watching her struggle to cover her ears made Y/N want to help. She placed her hand over both of Ashlyn's ears, applying a bit more pressure, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Y/N couldn't even imagine how uncomfortable it must be for Ashlyn. Y/N never fully understood how Ashlyn's hearing worked. She knew Ashlyn was sensitive to loud noises in reality, but she didn't understand how it was different in the phantom dimension.
More questions always arose after discovering new things, but now was not the time to ponder those possibilities. Right now, she had to focus on helping Ashlyn with her pain from the sensation of sensitivity, even though Y/N didn't experience it herself, she could tell it was painful. She couldn't see the strain on Ashlyn's face, but she could imagine it. Y/N looked around, hoping to find something that could help, but nothing seemed to work. Then, she noticed a pair of headphones on the ground in the distance.
Recalling Ashlyn wearing those headphones from earlier, Y/N thought that might be the solution. As she was getting ready to reach for the headphones, she stopped when she heard the sounds of frustration and anger from the others, the sound of fists clashing echoing in her ears. Turning her head, she saw chaos unfolding and felt a rush of negative emotions - anger, rage, and anxiety. She stood frozen in place, wide-eyed and gritting her teeth. This reaction was unusual for her, and she wondered if it was because of Barron or the situation they were in, or both.
Y/N felt a strong urge to do something. The sounds of fists hitting Barron's group filled the air. Y/N's emotions were escalating rapidly, causing her eyes to twitch and her breathing to become unsteady. She felt a surge of anger and had the urge to hurt someone. The tension in the room was high, with punches and kicks being thrown around.
