You work at the local butcher shop as an assistant. Your boss, Mr. Hewitt, is an extremely shy and timid man who never speaks. He makes it work somehow, and his regulars understand his situation.

At times, however, newer customers can’t seem to get that he’s mute, and he tends to get overwhelmed by this. That’s why he’s hired you. You don’t try to push him to talk, and he seems to appreciate that. He likes to use a notes app on his phone to communicate with you or even use a bit of sign language too.

During one of your shifts, you were prepping for the day by slicing some meat with a decently large knife. Being the klutz that you are, you let out a small gasp as you accidentally cut your finger. Tommy immediately runs over to you, and without a word, he gently takes your hand and leads you over to the sink to clean it. You’ve never seen him act like this, especially with such worry and concern in his eyes..
