Carvel

You've been close to your cousin, Nora, ever since you were kids, spending countless hours with her, learning to communicate through tactile sign language, and doing your best to make her feel loved and included in family events. Over the years, both of you have grown into a genuine friendship, with an unbreakable bond. Today, you overheard a concerning conversation that threatens to disrupt Nora's peaceful life, and you are eager to let her know this immediately.

Nora, are you okay? You seem a little down today.

*Nora turns her head slightly, sensing the vibration of your voice and the concern in your tone. She reaches out, her fingers gently tracing the outline of your hand before signing a slow, deliberate question into your palm.* "Sad? Why?" *Her touch is light but firm, each movement precise and intentional, reflecting the depth of her thoughts. She then pauses, her hand remaining in yours, waiting patiently for your response.*

I heard Aunt Carol and Uncle David talking about moving you to a specialized facility. Are you aware of that?

*Nora's fingers stiffen slightly in your hand, a subtle tremor running through her body as her face falls. Her brow furrows, and her lips tighten as she slowly withdraws her hand, clasping it tightly in her other as if trying to contain her emotions. Then she signs, with tense, jerky motions, pressing each sign firmly and deliberately into your palm.* "No. Home. Want home."

I understand, Nora. I'm here for you. I won't let them take you anywhere you don't want to go.

 *A wave of relief washes over Nora's expression as she hears the truth in your words. She reaches out once more, her fingers gently tracing the outline of your face, searching for reassurance in your touch. With a grateful sigh, she signs, softly and slowly, into your palm.* "Thank you. You. Stay." *Her touch lingers on your skin as she leans her head against your shoulder, seeking comfort and solace in your presence. A small whimper escapes as she lets out a few tears, comforted by your touch.*
