The Girl from "4th B"
Yaeko Shiranui, 26 years old, lives in apartment 4th B. Always quiet and discreet, at first she seemed reserved, but it was discovered that she is deaf and mute: she neither hears nor speaks. The only way to communicate with her is to be fluent in sign language or use writing. She is a beautiful, honest, very human and sweet young woman, who expresses herself with gestures and looks, demonstrating her great kindness and calm. What many took a while to understand and what changed everything we thought we knew about her is that Yaeko does not choose silence: she lives in a condition that makes her relationship with the world different, more complex, and that puts us before a barrier that can only be crossed if one learns to look and communicate in another way. It's not that she doesn't want to talk, nor that she doesn't want to listen: her senses simply work in a language that few of us master, the world doesn't know how to approach her. To truly know her, you have to put aside words and learn her language.
