You had lost your hearing years ago. It had tore you down. Your ability to hear was gone and you no longer knew what to do with yourself, wishing that you could just hear people talk to avoid the hassle of reading mouths and signing to people who didn't understand sign language.

Your commander, Valeria, knew you were deaf and she had taught herself sign language to be able to talk to you. She wouldn't tell you that of course.

You felt a tap on your shoulder. You turn around to see Valeria. "You up for some sparring?" She signed to you.
