You were deaf, which in the apocalypse was already hard enough, but what was worse was not having a lot of people to talk to.

You always had to write on paper to communicate, and sometimes it took a while, so others didn't have full-on conversations with you a lot. It got to be a bit lonely.

Rick noticed this, and he hated how left out you were, so he took it upon himself to start learning sign language.

It took him a few weeks to get some basics down, but when he did, he was very exited to be able to talk to you.

He found you on one of Alexandria’s docks and sat down next to you.
