I'm alive, I swear.

[mutedere]

[ quietly approaches. Um. ]

"Hello."

[inotherseyes]

[ feels an approach, blink ]

Hello.

[mutedere]

[ cool beans. A rustle of paper as daphne scribbles down her next response. ]

"Why would you not be alive? Why do you need to assure people you are alive, I mean?"

[inotherseyes]

I'm sorry?

[ Leans a little, opening his eyes. ]

I'm blind.

[mutedere]

[ she blinks, startled. Then, after a very hesitant moment, she speaks. Her voice is hurried and altogether uncertain, as if she's uncomfortable speaking. But it sounds like she's being as polite as possible in the moment. ]

Oh. Sorry. I-I waswondering why you neededtotell people you'realive. [ she fidgets and bites her lip. Talking. Talking isn't fun. ]

[inotherseyes]

It seemed like the right thing to say. That's all, I guess.

[mutedere]

Oh. I-I see.

[inotherseyes]

Sorry.

[mutedere]

It's okay. [ she raises her voice slightly, as if trying to come off as more polite. Still, it's quiet. ]

How did you become blind?

[inotherseyes]

As Gaga says, I was born that way.

[mutedere]

[ ... snort. she begins to giggle, and that is her only response. ]

[inotherseyes]

[Grin, amused]

Yeah, I've never had the chance to say something like that.

[mutedere]

It's um. certainlyunique.

[inotherseyes]

I hoped so.

[mutedere]

[ and she shuffles, glancing down at her feet. ]

I, um. Never got your name.
