@feraIfangs He sees the others confusion , and worries his lip with his teeth after being stared at for a few minutes . A hand reaches up , finally going to check and see if his hearing aids had been off . Sound slowly filters in and he takes a deep breath . “ I’m sorry — I really should’ve had those things on .” His voice is sweet , fully matured , it’s obvious he hadn’t sustained the injury that had made him dead before puberty had hit . He still can speak , just needs help hearing the world around him .
