"Alexander. I love you no matter what. I don't care if you can't speak." Mangus says looking down at me as I sit on the couch. I shake my head with tears in my eyes. Magnus quickly comes over and sits next to me.
"Alexander. Disability isn't something you should regret you have. Its a beautiful thing. It's okay that you can't speak. I don't need to hear your voice to know that I love you no matter what."
'I want you to hear me say I love you though. The treatments aren't working Magnus. I can never be the head of the institute because I can't tell them orders. I can't even go on missions.' I tell Mangus using sign language.
"That's okay Alec. One day there will be a cure and you'll have that voice of yours back."
'I'm not so sure. That mission, that knife ruined my voice. I could never get it back. And that's something I have to deal with' I say standing up and walking to the bedroom.
