Location: Grandpa Coop's Safe House, Craftsman's Quarter, Ring 6
Raven woke on the third day to discover that her sensory changes were even more profound than she'd realized.
She could hear the family two buildings over having breakfast. Their conversation wasn't loud—just normal talking, everyday sounds—but it came through clear as if they were in the next room. She could hear the rhythm of their heartbeats. The scrape of utensils on plates. Even the crackle of the cooking fire.
The privacy wards muffled it somewhat, but not completely. Her new hearing simply operated at a level the formations hadn't been designed to block.
This is going to be a problem in crowded areas, Raven thought, pressing her palms against her ears. It helped, barely. How do people with enhanced hearing deal with cities? There must be techniques. Filtering methods.
Add it to the growing list of things she needed to master.
