The atmosphere in the room was filled with silence, creating a sense of stillness.

This constant sound was not only helpful for blocking out any distractions but also like a sound blanket that could facilitate sleep.

The white noise serves as a means to shield oneself from the strange occurrences and chaotic thoughts that may arise during a turbulent journey, reinforcing the desire for peace amidst the surrounding madness.
