In this conversation, Swan explains to Josh that she can hear a sound that resembles the wind, a distant train's whistle, or the rumble of thunder before a storm. This sound has been a part of her life since childhood, and when she mentions it, Josh is intrigued and drawn to the profound nature of what she describes. Her ability to hear such a sound conveys a depth of perception about life and its fleeting quality.

However, when Josh expresses his admiration, Swan misinterprets his reaction as mockery, prompting her to clarify the significance of the sound. She reveals that it symbolizes death, sharing a stark and sobering perspective. This exchange underlines the themes of mortality and the unseen forces that shape our understanding of life, as well as the unique connection Swan has with the world around her.
