• No matter what you say or do, do not stare at his scars or ask him about it.

The liaison staff's warning was very direct and forceful. He was not negotiating, that was a condition to be met, not a thing to discuss.

• Does it really look so bad?

The question had a mixture of dissatisfaction and sincere curiosity.

• I've gotten used to it, so it doesn't seem so bad, but it usually happens that people who see it for the first time are surprised and make a scene or stare like a circus freak. That bothers her quite a bit.

Anyone would be upset if they stare at him with the face of someone who sees a monster or some kind of fairground attraction.

The two men entered the study after the liaison staff had unlocked the second door in the corridor, they were entering a closed study, with a double air chamber to seal it from the outside world and a corridor in which to open one of the doors it was recommended to close the previous one.

There, sitting at the sound editing table, was a man putting the finishing touches in complete silence.

• I have it ready, according to the rules of the contract, they have to do the first listening and then I can transmit it to the outsiders so that the superiors can review it. - Said the man who had been working in the room.

Seriously, his haircut was close-cropped, almost like a military haircut, which highlighted the portions where no hair was growing and where there were strong and wide scars. When he turned to see the newcomers, you could tell that his look was annoyed, but not noticing a very prominent reaction in the rookie who came to see him, he smiled a little.

One of his auditory pavilions was absent, the scars were also all over his face, even so, his gesture of smiling could be taken as a friendly crowd or recognition of the boy's mettle.

They listened to the result of the work in silence, everything was full of enervating vibrations. When finished, the eyes of the two visitors were bright.

• I think it was great, I have no doubt that the external team will have a hard time finding any recommendation to make to modify this.

• Thanks thanks. - The man smiled more and the scars showed a strange pattern - Well, I am transmitting it to their devices and I am also sending it to superiors and external parties, that covers all the points of the contract and the security guidelines.

Hands flew between the controls and keyboard of the nearby computer. The portable terminals rang with the notification of having received a file and the visitors said goodbye and left.

• I'm surprised you didn't ask and almost didn't react.

• After all the warnings, I expected an even worse face.

• Well, it's better this way, this may help you get a contract as a permanent employee.

• All right. Now that we are out of that area, what happened to him?

• The short story is that during the short years of the attacks of that urban terrorist group that caused a lot of deaths, he was one of the collateral victims who survived despite how bad he looked when they took him out of the rubble.

• Are you a survivor of that?

• Yes, although at first things were not very good. He was the best Sound Engineer and Designer, he had just been hired by a large international company and the world was opening up to him. He had a privileged hearing and they were so outstanding that they invited him to a scientific study of neurology as a study subject, they found that his brain interpreted and processed sounds in a better way than any ordinary person.

• Incredible!

• Yes, it was incredible, that's why it was more painful. Among the aftermath of the explosion was a deafness that could be permanent, think about it, he loves music, works with it and is the best in his area ... and suddenly, his ears are left without. From what I was told, he almost went crazy.

• No wonder.

• The incredible thing is that during the recovery time it was prepared, at the end of the company it planned to dissolve the contract because a "hearing impaired" was not what they were looking to hire.

• But he's working here.

• Yes, that was because it showed them that it was capable of working with sound tables and editing any sound model from the study of oscilloscopes and particle graphics of the equipment.

• Did you work the music without being able to listen to the music?

• I told you since his brain is not like that of ordinary people, so it seems that it took him a very short time to adapt to his new way of "listening"

• So that's why the studio was silent when we arrived, he doesn't need to listen to music like we do, I'm surprised he's still deaf, but with the scars he has, I guess his ears never recovered.

• What are you talking about? He's currently listening, he's doing pretty good. His deafness was treated and he paid for implants grown from his own tissue, in addition, his scars are improving, what happens is that he has not shown the same hurry to complete his reconstructive surgeries and skin culture.

• Are you listening? So why wasn't the volume turned up to listen to the music?

• They say that he used to check the sounds and the models by the oscilloscope just before delivering, so when we arrived he had already heard it by himself and had also "heard" it using the equipment.

• His tenacity is admirable.

• Yes, you know what they say, where there is a will, a path can always be made.
