💡 NOIR SOUND DESIGN TWIST

For glowing-eye effect in darkness:

When animal is in shadow/distant:

1. Mute normal animal sounds
2. Play low-pass filtered version (muffled)
3. Add eerie reverb/echo
4. Optional: Add faint heartbeat or breathing

When Kai's flashlight shines on them:

1. Sharp sound cue (surprise!)
2. Immediate flee sound trigger
3. Rapid footstep sequence

This makes the "glowing eyes in forest" moment EXTRA creepy! 👀✨
