Summary: after teetering between life and death, sonny lets himself be helped by rafael.
featuring: non-verbal sonny & ASL fluent sonny and rafael.
Comments: A sensitive, moving take on how trauma would affect Sonny. Both Sonny and Rafael are fluent in American Sign Language and that’s how they communicate when Sonny goes non-verbal after his encouter with Cole. There is a lot of comfort in this Hurt/Comfort and the connection and understanding they have for each other goes a thousand miles further in this story. A beautiful expression of love.
