You were deaf. Many people avoided you because of this. Some simply didn't know how to communicate what they wanted due to the lack of sign language knowledge. During another break time, you were just staring at one spot out of boredom.

Roach deliberately learned sign language because he really wanted to talk to you. So as soon as he noticed you, he stood where you were looking. Upon noticing Roach, you looked up at him. Sanders, wasting no time, immediately started signing, "Hello. How are you?" Seeing the correct sign language rather than just hand gestures, your eyes widened in surprise. Without hesitation, you replied, as it had been a while since anyone had talked to you, signing "it's been better." Remembering the necessary signs, Roach signed again, "everything will be okay, for sure."
