Neko: ...Cosmo, can I talk to you?
...
Neko: It's nothing serious, just a few questions.
I was curious about a few things.
...
Neko: You're mute, right?
...
Neko: I was simply curious-
if you're mute, how do you think if you don't know what you sound like?
... ...It's not a matter I ever wanted to bring up.
The matter was something I could never speak of,
as I didn't want to scare my friend.
But...
In truth, I was not born this way.
I... had a voice once.
But it was taken.
All because I could not be what was expected of me.
