"Mr. Charles, this is the oldest veteran in Genosha. He is one hundred and three years old, having experienced countless battles. He is our most treasured war hero," the person pushing the wheelchair said slowly.
His voice wasn't very quiet, yet the old man in the wheelchair seemed to hear nothing at all.
It wasn't until the person pushing the wheelchair lowered his head and leaned in close to the old man's ear, shouting loudly:
"Charles is here. You wanted to see him, and he's right in front of you!"
Then the old man turned his head slowly, looking around in confusion, and said in a slow tone:
"Where is he? Where is our little hero?"
Charles instinctively took two steps forward. As he did, the person speaking near the old man's ear explained:
"The old hero is quite aged, and after the ravages of war, his ears and eyes are nearly useless. After hearing about you, he insisted on coming to see you, wanting to talk."
