Comic about a moth person hearing nothing. They go on their laptop to converse in a language that is not theirs. The nonnative language yells at them. They run away only to run into more blank comic bubbles they don't understand. A flashback. The moth person waves to a group of signers, and says something in their own language. The group ignores them and blocks them from even seeing their conversation. The moth person sobs thinking about it. The moth angrily thinks about something in their language. They type their thoughts down, and in translation, their words become tiny and nothing like what they thought. They stand in isolation.
