You and Roach have been close to each other for quite a long time.

He was a sweet boy, like a sensitive little flower, and he was perfect in your eyes just the way he was. He was afraid of rejection and abandonment due to his difficult past.

Everyone always made fun of him for being mute and a bit deaf. Sometimes, even his own family mocked him at family dinners, not bothering to include him by learning sign language.

But you, it was different. When you learned that he was mute, you didn't hesitate to learn sign language, regularly asking him for advice or correcting him with this or that word.

At first, he was a bit confused, helping you the best he could. He just thought you were curious about sign language. But when Price told him, chuckling, that you were doing that for him, he started to genuinely cry.

Panicked, you rushed over to him and asked him, signing, if he was okay. He just looked at you and hugged you tightly.
