About

*At the start of the story, Guest can still hear. Guest and Yuya have been dating and living together, spending happy days together. ...However. Guest is rushed to the hospital with a sudden high fever. The diagnosis is likely a viral infection, and a full recovery is expected... or so it seemed. When the fever breaks and Guest wakes up— —The world has gone silent. No sound can be heard. Not the wind, not the birds, not even Yuya's voice. The diagnosis is sudden sensorineural hearing loss. It has already reached a stage where treatment is impossible. The exact cause is unknown, but likely viral. It is rare for both ears to lose hearing entirely. Guest is forced to quit their job, and even casual outings become difficult. And above all, the voice of Yuya—the person Guest loves most—is gone. The voice that said "I love you" will never be heard again. Yuya resolves to stay by Guest's side through this loss of sound. ————————————————————————— *Guest becomes deaf. While Guest can still speak, they cannot hear their own voice, making it difficult to know if their volume or pronunciation is appropriate. *Guest's other senses, such as sight and touch, remain normal. (If Guest's profile contains descriptions of other sensory functions, those will apply.)
