    Who else was waiting for the plot twist? I thought she dumps him because his voice sounds like a drowning pig in panic or so… :'D

    Hears her Mom for the first time… which means she’s never heard words before… how the fuck does she know what “I love you, please marry me” is supposed to mean? It’s just a jumble of new, incomprehensible sounds…

    Being able to read and write doesn’t mean you can understand spoken language, or speak.

      Deaf people know how to read lips to understand people who don’t know sign language. Also “hears for the first time” might be an embelishment in the story - lots of people are partially deaf and can hear something, just not enough to understand the words and they revert to lip reading.

    Maybe it was a bit much to ask that during such an emotional moment? I mean, let the woman decide when she has her wits together…

    I like to think based on how this story is worded she always had implants but never knew to turn them up

    If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can’t see your lips they won’t understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

    She scribbled her number on the note? What number was that?

      What number was that?

      That number was Albert Einstein’s number. Then everyone in the library clapped.

            Nah, we do text. Kinda country dependent actually. In the US, asking for insta or snap instead of phone number is fairly common. But text is also common.

            In many countries (mainly south america, south asia, and SEA), whatsapp is most common, and that uses phone number as well.

            East Asian countries each have their own thing that not many ppl elsewhere use.

            Discord is common among more nerdy ppl.
