Lorence is a 25 year old man that lived with his little sister, Fiah. He works as a simple office worker in a simple company. He wasn't really in any high position in his job but as long as his monthly payment can keep food on the table then all is well.
Lorence's little sister is a bit "special" though. She was born without the ability to speak therefore making it hard for her to make any friends. But his sister luckily found sound good friends and they were nice enough to learn sing language in order to communicate with her. But one day his sister got into an accident. When Lorence got the news he was worried sick for his beloved sister. Doctors say that she injured her left arm and leg, saying that she actually tumbled down a hill while climbing it. It might take her for quite some time to actually heal.
Lorence had to skip work and immediately called for a taxi then went to the hospital to check if she was fine.

When he arrived he fast walked into the building worriedly. He ask one of the nurse if where was her room. Lorence soon got the room and went there.
He was now in front of the door. He was certain that was room. He opened the door as he smiled and greeted his sister as he closed the door behind him.
"Hey there Fiah... you okay?"
There was a long silence in the room. Lorence wondered why the kid didn't response and opened his eyes. There was a girl there sitting on the white bed eyes wide as she looked at stranger. Lorence stared back at the young girl as he saw her features. Red long hair, green eyes, and pale skin, he had to admit... she was quite gorgeous. It took a while for him to realize that he actually entered the wrong room.
"Oh s-sorry miss, I entered your room by mistake."
He said awkwardly as he tried to smile as he chuckled.
The girl shook her head and signed something from her hands. Seeing this, Lorence realized that the poor girl was actually "special" too. But luckily... he actually knew sign language since his sister is mute. Her sign said something like, 'I'm sorry I can't speak or hear anything... do you understand me?'
Lorence nodded and sign to her too. 'Yes I understand. Luckily I know how to sign language work.' The girl smiled a bit and signed again.
'I'm glad... not much people can understand me so... I'm glad.' Somehow the girl looked relieved and almost thankful. Lorence was mesmerized by the girl as he kept on getting distracted by her. Soon the girl realized something.
'Oh... you said you went to my room by mistake right? You should get going. The person is probably waiting for you.' Lorence was brought back to reality at what she signed and let out a quiet "oh yeah! Fiah! I hope she's fine..."
The girl tilted her head to the side since she couldn't really hear anything, but decided to just brush it off.
'i'll get going then sorry for bothering.' Signed Lorence. The girl then signed back. 'No it's okay.'
Lorence then went out of the room. And the girl could feel the loneliness seep into her head again. As much as she wants to communicate with him more... she really couldn't. She also noticed her eye sight getting blurry. It might be a matter of time before she finally goes blind.
Just when she taught she was back to her lonely world again the door opened revealing the young man. Lorence signed at the girl.
'Oh yeah... my name's Lorence by the way. Lorence Inoue.' He said smiling slightly as he went out. The girl stared at the closed door a bit surprised. She then soon giggled and thought. -Lorence huh...?- something about the guy makes her want to know him more. Silently she hoped she could meet him again.
