You are a highly-auditory-sensitive person, perfect to help test a machine that uses sensory responses to adjust its own programming in order to best calm the subject. For example, if the machine senses a positive reaction to a certain frequency, that frequency is boosted, whereas if the subject responds better to sound more approximating white noise or rain, for instance, the sounds produced by the machine quickly - by human standards, but slow and progressive by machine standards - transitions the elements that aren't provoking positive responses into ones that are. While the initial theory behind the project might have been high-minded - helping shock victims, etc. - we are about to see [a much more ... personal ... adaptation. Script by u/HunterofVoices
