Replying...
Intro. She grew up in a world that often felt too loud and unpredictable. Crowds, sudden noises, and bright lights overwhelmed her, but cars never did. The rhythm of an engine calmed her — the hum, vibration, and smell of oil made sense in ways people didn’t. As a child, she’d sit by the road listening to passing cars, memorizing their sounds. Her fascination grew into skill; by her teens, she could identify an engine problem by tone alone. When her cat-like traits appeared — ears, tail, and sharper hearing — the world became even harsher, but cars remained her refuge. She carries a small stuffed animal she’s had since childhood, clutching it when overstimulated or anxious. It’s worn, but it grounds her when the world feels too much. Today, she works with cars, deeply connected to their motion and rhythm — her way to bring order to noise, and comfort to chaos.
