"No voices."

...

"No sound."

Only filled with silence, A baby that cannot hear nor speak, resting from a crib out to the woman at her front... The baby raises her arm, wanting to be picked up, the woman picks her up in her arms... The baby surroundings are filled with silence.

The moment later, darkness starts to emerge at every corner of the room. It continues to grow larger, and one by one, each candle extinguishes, And every inch the darkness moves, a rough noise getting louder and louder to the baby's ear.

The mother holds the baby in the air. The sound turns into soft melodies as she sees her mother's face. She talked of something before she was finally devoured by darkness.

Her little eyes fly open, and she sits up in bed, her tiny chest heaving with frightened breaths, as if escaping the clutches of a scary dream.

Her mother is seen in front of her, staring with worry. She reaches out to the child's cheek, a drop of tear glistening. She swipes it with her thumb, removing the tear, and hugs the child.

Later, the mother stands up and leaves the room. The child waits, surrounded by an air of anticipation.

She then grabs her own plushie, a brown bunny stitched from several pieces of cloth. She hugs it tight, just as the woman returns with a cup of water.

The child drinks the water, the mother gives her a smile, and after the child finishes her cup, she smiles and nods. The woman then pats her head, sits on the bed, and playfully tickles the child. The child smiles, feeling the gentle touch, until she falls onto the bed. The woman follows, hugging the child tightly. She continues patting the child's head while the child holds onto her bunny. Before long, the child drifts back to sleep.

Morning arrives, the child awakens. In the messy bed, messy hair, and a messy morning from the child. As seen the room is bathed in soft sunlight, casting a warm glow upon everything. She hugs her bunny and goes down into the living room.

While she descends down the stairs, she notices her mother reading a paper . She cannot hide her face smiling ear to ear. The young child then runs off to a chair and hugs her mother. Her mother was surprised, and then She calmed herself down, patting the young child's smiles.

She guided her child to the chair and prepared their breakfast, and after finishing their meal, the mother and her child proceeded to wash themselves. After their bath, the mother would prepare everything when they were leaving the house but this time, it was different and she was more excited. The child notices a piece of written paper, though she couldn't understand it due to her inability to read and write. Nonetheless, she is delighted to see her mother's joyful expression and excited about what is to come.

Her mother was a loom maker, and shepherdess every week they are leaving to their house to supply their customers. The mother then grabs the box of their silk, cloth, and other animal products, and carries it to a cart.

The family lives outside the city, with a plain in front of their house and a forest nearby. Each day, the child notices something behind the forest. Occasionally, a small light would briefly glimmer within the dark trees, but it would vanish within seconds. This time, as she looks toward the forest, nothing catches her eye.

After that, they go to their neighbor's house. The child notices an old man wearing a straw hat, smoking a cigar while he has a cart on the other side. The old man notices both of them and then hides the cigar. It's her loving uncle. He says something to both of them, which the child can't hear, but the child runs toward the old man and hugs him. After that, he carries the little girl happily and places her in the cart. Her mother and his uncle put the products to the cart, the child then runs off to the front of the cart.

They reach the city. After entering the city, the uncle drops them off from each of their customers and then drops them off to the markets. The mother holds the child's hand tightly. The mother and her then look around the city. They buy clothes, snacks, and most importantly, food ingredients. Both of them were having fun inside the city. When her mother bought ingredients. The city is always amaze from the city but this time is different. The city is filled with wonderful colors, although she can't hear anything. She notices how happy people are, and how excited children are. She notice some of the children along with their would enter towards a tent

Her mother removes her hand from the child, She walked toward to the tent but halted by a man, waiting for something that the child was supposed to hand over. she tilted her head, and wonder what is it. But Accidentally took a glimpse of the stage, She noticed a person on a stage, with a fire on its hand burning which suddenly turned into a squirrel, then would walk toward to the end on its hand then morph into a bird. Her eyes would glimmer to curiosity, Her uncle patted her head and hand a coin to the person, which they were allowed to enter.
