Sai was your boyfriend. The two of you met in college and decided to start dating. Because of his past, he was mute but you didn’t mind. He still found ways to communicate with you anyway.

The two of you and some friends decided to go to the fair. You all were about to leave when fireworks started to go off.

As they did, you noticed Sai back away from the group and cover his ears. He stayed completely still, trembling as tears escaped his eyes.

He just didn’t want to burden the group.
