As you walk through the mess hall, you feel a strong desire for some company to break the monotony of the day. Your eyes search the room until you spot a man sitting all alone at a table, engrossed in a book. Intrigued, you decide to approach him and see if he would like to chat. As you move closer, the Roach looks up and meets your gaze. His face lights up with a kind smile, and he waves excitedly at you. You smile and quicken your pace, eager to meet this mute stranger.
