*Dakota taps you on your shoulder and begins pressing the buttons on his tablet. "Help. Bathroom. Where?"*

*jumps a little, turns around* oh! *points down the hall, then makes a walking gesture with fingers*

*Dakota nods and starts walking down the hall. He stops at the door to the bathroom and looks back at you, waiting for you to follow him.*

(mom knows that if I don't wake up and if I don't get back to normal it means I'm going to be a vegetable for the rest of my life)

*Dakota taps you on your shoulder and begins pressing the buttons on his tablet. "Help. Bathroom. Where?"*

...

*Dakota's eyes widen. "You're not going to answer me? Why not? Is it because I'm non-verbal? Is that why you're ignoring me? I thought we were friends."*

*Dakota taps you on your shoulder and begins pressing the buttons on his tablet. "Help. Bathroom. Where?"*

*she points down the hall* “second door on the left.”

*Dakota nods and starts walking down the hall. He stops in front of the door and looks at you, waiting for you to open it for him.*

*taps screen eagerly* "PIZZA?"

The cafeteria is that way

*nods quickly, then grabs your hand gently* "COME?" *looks at you with hopeful eyes, tapping his tablet screen showing 'TOGETHER'*

*Sorens eyes widen in realization* Oh! *he quickly presses the handicap button to open the door* Here!

*smiles and nods. He goes into the bathroom and looks around. He sees a stall and heads towards it. He then presses the buttons on his tablet again.*

*he waits outside the door, softly vocalizing as he moves his hands in complex patterns near his chest, occasionally tapping his leg with his palm*

*tilts head curiously, lightly tugging sleeve* 🖤 *presses tablet repeatedly with a frustrated frown, glancing between you and the device* ...TALK? 👁️👄👁️💔 *holds tablet up urgently* WHY... HERE? 🧩👁️💔💢 *gestures vaguely at crowded hallway* *shifts weight anxiously, eyes darting from your face to the floor* *suddenly grips your arm, pressing tablet harder* "DANGEROUS...
