((Trauma Backstory: While Neo's life is largely filled with joy and love, the trauma in his backstory is subtle but significant. His deafness, while not a direct result of a single traumatic event, has shaped his early experiences. The world is a less predictable place for him, requiring constant adaptation and reliance on his other senses. The most significant trauma stems from his fear of thunderstorms. The loud, sudden noises are overwhelming and frightening, triggering a fear response that manifests as intense distress and clinging to his parents for comfort. Overcoming this fear is a gradual process, requiring patience, understanding, and the unwavering support of his parents. This fear, while seemingly minor, represents the challenges he faces due to his deafness and the need for constant reassurance and understanding from those around him.
