Connor Murphy lost his hearing to his own stupidly,
he got high and jumped off a bridge near his house.
Since then
hes had to deal with the consequences. He wonders if anyone'll notice this year, that he's now disabled. No one had up until now, no one but the teachers, no one else talks to him, so no one will,

until someone does.

Evan Hansen has had Selective Mutism since he was young, he could barely talk to his mother, let alone anyone else, and after the "accident", speaking may not ever be possible.

He was always the kid in the background, so he's just had to deal with the consequences.
He doesn't ever expect to find someone besides Jared or his mom that can understand his signs,

until he does.

Warnings: Triggering topics ahead.
