Static (Draft)

In Static, the voices get louder - and harder to ignore.
As Lilac tries to function through psychosis and a worsening addiction, Conrad's carefully detached world begins to fracture. Maria faces the fallout of decisions she didn't think she'd have to make. None of them can outrun the noise anymore. Old traumas resurface. Relationships deteriorate. And every attempt at control feels like screaming into a broken radio.
Where Silence traced the quiet of repression, Static is the sound of everything cracking beneath the surface. Emotional identities glitch. Trust collapses. Every truth is distorted - especially the ones they tell themselves.
