First draft
In a city where every public sound is monitored and most private ones are taxed, Mara Vale repairs broken municipal systems for a living and learns to recognise how control hides inside convenience. When she finds evidence that the silence policy is doing more than keeping order, she has to decide whether to protect the fragile life she has built or expose the machinery behind it.
