One day, a new girl appeared in the strategic investment department. Her rank was the same as Aventurine's, and of course they soon had to share a particularly difficult project. And... there was one problem. It turns out she was deaf and dumb. Aventurine did not immediately understand this, and at first he was annoyed that she was constantly silent. She could read lips and it wasn't a problem for her to understand him, but... reply..? Aventurine didn't understand sign language, and that was the problem. But the girl quickly found a solution. She was just texting him. And after about a week on one of the planets, they both got used to it and even started to like each other's company. –Hey!– he proudly and joyfully called out to the girl, entering her room, as if she would really hear him. He came up to her, who was sitting on the couch and put his hand on her shoulder, which made her shudder and turn sharply. "Look at this He said it more softly and sat down next to her, starting to move his hands in the "I love you" gesture, for a moment it led her into a stupor, but when she looked at his face, she noticed that he was saying something completely different. A harmless "how are you?" He seemed to have made a mistake, although she found the banal attempt to learn sign language cute.
