The audio begins with a soft hiss, the unmistakable sound of gas escaping. It's quickly followed by a sharp click - the unmistakable sound of a lighter being sparked. There's the briefest moment of silence before the gratifying sound of a flame igniting breaks through. It's a small flame, but its crackle is rich and robust, full of raw energy. It dances and flickers, the sound of its burning evoking images of warmth and light. The audio then shifts subtly, a faint rustle suggesting the presence of a cigarette. The sound of the flame intensifies for a moment as it meets the end of the cigarette, the brief puff and ensuing exhalation painting a vivid picture of a smoking ritual. The flame dies down, but its presence lingers in the soft glow of the burning cigarette, the gentle sizzle a testament to its power.
