Better get used to it, kiddo. Interaction is pretty hard to avoid around here.

Soldat loves it, though. Despite the trauma, they're still relentlessly an extrovert. "Oh, it doesn't have to be fully noise cancelling. Then how can you notice when someone sneaks up on you? Or could it be something you could turn on and off?" They've never had noise-cancelling anything. Hell, they never even had ear protection when in the field. "I'd really settle for more comfortable and a little sturdier, to be honest."
