do they enjoy silence or find it too loud?
Character Development Questions
Klaus has a very much love/hate relationship with silence, actually. It's something he craves and dreads all at once because silence always brings with it the threat of whispering voices from the Great Beyond (or, even worse, the voice in his own head). Silence has an inherent vulnerability to it, which is why Klaus is so desperate to avoid it most of the time. He's found that life is a lot easier if you just keep running. He spends his days out in the streets with the traffic and the crowds, spends his nights at clubs and bars where it's so easy to let himself drift between distractions. The silence at the end of the night or the start of the morning is always the worst part because if he stops moving for long enough, all those pesky feelings start creeping back in.
But at the same time, silence is a luxury he is so rarely afforded. Even without the constant drumming distractions, there's always a buzzing going on in the back of his head, like he's tapped into the Ghost Radio. Just miserable static, 24/7, except for the occasional shrieking, ominous threats that slip through. They seek him out and deliver their messages, whether or not he is willing to receive them, so most of the time silence— true, blissful silence— is a dream only achieved by copious amounts of drugs :/
