You're deaf...?

As a post. Can't hear anything at all. How about you?

Let's just say that I'm glad this thing can record my thoughts and read what others say to me out loud.

You're...blind?

Mm... unfortunately. I don't think I've ever valued my sight more than I have now. This "event" really does show what we take for granted.

Yes, it does. I used to love silence when I could get it. I don't think I ever want to work in silence again. How about Raph? Are both of you all right?

Raph's lost his voice. We're doing well, I guess. We've pretty much figured out how to communicate with each other, and he's been taking care of me. Not that I need it too much, but without sight...

Yeah, I can relate. I feel on edge because anyone can sneak up on me like this and I won't know who it is until I see them. I'm glad that you've got Raph there with you. Let's hope that this doesn't last much longer.

Just keep your eyes open.

He won't even let me leave to go to work. I feel that it's my obligation to go, so... Yes, I would like for this to end soon. And to see him again.

((Strike sorta legible if you squint. That thought slipped past him. |D;;))

I always have my eyes open lately except to sleep. Mikey's being both for me lately.

Honestly, I'm glad he's not letting you go to work. What could you possibly do in a library without sight? Sorry bro but I side with Raph on this one. You would end up in a far worse position than if he didn't let you go. And...I can kind of relate to that, too...

That's good. He's taking good care of you, right?

I could do something. Clean around, put books away... I don't know. Anything than just sit here and feel absolutely helpless.

((Decided to filter it since it's getting a bit too deep here))

Of course. He's taking advantage of me being unable to hear by surprising me but...I like it. Kind of missed that...

I think it's mostly boredom that's getting to you. It's better if you wait it out instead of worrying Raph as well as Mikey and myself.

So, I've been feeling boredom ever since I first lost my sight? And the feeling keeps growing every time I need Raph's help with something that should be easy.

Well, no, but I'm sure that boredom and frustration can go hand in hand. Things aren't easy anymore but you're hardly useless. I doubt this will go on long enough for you to adapt to it but, if this truly were permanent, we'd have to find a way. Regardless, taking time off would still be recommended rather than pushing yourself to even larger points of frustration because you can't do something that was once simple. I can understand what you're saying but, as your brother, I just can't support the idea of going back to work or even stepping outside without someone being there.

I hate this Fine. Try not to worry about me, alright? Raph's been with me pretty much wherever I go unless he's sure I can do it myself. And he brings me along if we need anything. Something I'm grateful for.

You can tell me not to but you know I will. I feel better knowing Raph's with you and he won't let you go without him. Just take care, Leo. I'm sure this'll be over soon and you can get back to work in no time. If you need anything, don't be afraid to get us, okay?
