When Nina saw her brother calling her, she went to him with a smile on her face, a little tired.
She could barely keep up with her friends' running because of her mobility problems. She struggled to play with them and was twice as tired as any of them.
Still, she was happy and asked, breathing heavily. "What is it, big brother?"
"This is a friend, Nina. She's here to give you a present." Vice made hand signals to his sister, making Nova realize this little girl was deaf.
She immediately felt terrible but tried not to show it to Nina. The worst thing a person with a disability could expect when meeting a new person was a look of pity.
Then Nova smiled and leaned down until her face was at the same level as Nina's.
"Nina, you are a lovely girl. Please accept my gift." She said, not knowing sign language.
But Nina understood her and immediately took the gift from Nova's hands.
