Screeeeeeeeech—!!!!
A piercing scream rang out. It felt as though my ears were being torn apart. How could a cry be so desperate, so raw, so filled with agony?
“Kuaaaaaaah—!!!”
“Krrrrrghhh—!!!!”
I wasn’t the only one affected. Soldiers who had failed to escape clutched their ears and collapsed to the ground.
At first glance, it seemed absurd that they would react so violently to mere sound.
But this wasn’t just sound.
In fact, calling it sound at all felt inaccurate.
