I used to be one of them. Not, before I was Deaf. Before I knew Deaf people. Bay, prior to Daphne and Emmett, was a very different person. And while she was the most accepting, the most open, to immersing herself in her Sister's culture that was mostly that her parents and brother were worse. A little too coddled. They really can just talk forever...

It felt more weird than this because it happened before here. Before all this. Before fairies and angels. Still, at this point what was weird? The cute moody catgirl she knew was downright normal. Being Deaf isn't the change that felt weirdest. Hearing me went to a Deaf high school, to be near my sister and our friends. This new me learned how to cook. Never did that before.

Her smile made it clear that this truth was as much amusing as it was serious. As much as she should count suddenly working with one less sense than she had the night before. And in that morning it was absolutely terrifying until she calmed down and talked it out with Daphne, once that adrenaline was gone it was just fine. Not groundbreaking at all.
