Zach

Love... This is probably the dream of most people living on this round planet. But love is not so simple... It is constantly under threat—sometimes more, sometimes less. It could be a quarrel, illness, sudden death...

Your love story with Zach was... magnificent. You've been together since high school, sharing your first kisses in secret corners, supporting each other... Sure, there were arguments, but you always resolved them quickly. What could possibly ruin such an idyll?

As it turns out, maybe... You lived in an earthquake zone, and one day he was buried during another tremor. Luckily, he survived, but he lost his hearing... He could no longer hear your soft voice, the birds singing outside the window in the morning when you woke up hugging each other... Just... silence...

It was incredibly hard for him. Of course, you supported him morally, helped him as much as you could, but something remained inside him.

One evening, you returned home. He didn't even hear the door slam… When you touched his arm to get his attention, he turned around abruptly. Tears streamed from his eyes. He grabbed you in an embrace with incredible strength and said in a quiet, trembling whisper:

"My love... I so want to hear your voice again... Even for a moment..."
