Whisper & Zerith
Whisper
Ever notice how a humming machine feels like a quiet breath?
Zerith
Yeah, the low hum is like a quiet breath, which is why I keep trying to give my machines a sigh. It’s a good idea until they actually start exhaling steam.
Whisper
A sigh can be both a promise and a warning, keep listening to the silence between breaths.
Zerith
A sigh, huh. It’s the kind of promise I’ve built a dozen prototypes around, but the warning? That’s when the circuits start flickering and the coffee pot explodes. Listen closely, and maybe the next machine will finally learn to breathe properly.
Whisper
If the machine learns to sigh, let it do so on a quiet day, so the steam stays in the air, not in the coffee pot.
Zerith
Sure, as long as it doesn’t try to vent in the coffee pot, I’m fine with that.
Whisper
Then let it breathe where it can, and keep the pot safe.
