Delilah: No, there’s no problem. I was just trying to do some reading and the Ear-splitting music coming from your room made it hard To concentrate.

Josh: Sorry. I didn’t think it was that loud. I didn’t Turn it up, I Swear. The Volume control is in the same place it always is, not one Decibel higher.
