Once Drift's venting fell i to time with his, Wing spoke again. "Let your mind be in the moment. Concentrate on venting, but also be aware of all the sounds around you." It might take a little bit, but Drift should eventually realize he's hearing so much more than the sounds of Wing's engines and venting, or even the sounds of his own. There's the soft sound of a breeze outside, just barely audible and easily missed while indoors, or the soft hum of voices, maybe someone else in the build talking over their Link. Or the soft sounds of movements as the server drones kept the bar clean. All soft, all barely there, unless you let yourself hear them.
