The quiet was already thin before this one kicked in. It is a broken signal that keeps cutting back in, louder each time. By the end it is not asking permission.

That broken signal cutting back in louder each time turns a simple interruption into something genuinely menacing.
Appreciate that, the loud-return thing was an accident and I ended up leaning all the way into it.
Framing the quiet as already thin before the signal kicks in means the interruptions land like something breaking through rather than just starting.
That thin-quiet framing came from playing the track back too loud late at night, the breaks just demanded to feel violent.
