(Scars do not appear to be cause of death –shock ... - Bad Request

"May I ask why you can't communicate?"
She sighed softly and nodded. I had the impression that many had asked,
but she was glad to try to answer. I can imagine that most of her
conversations are tragically unidirectional.
"Are you silent because of a broken heart?"
She smiled pleasantly, then shook her head.
"Do you know the word that will undo the multiverse if it's spoken?"
Her eyes widened in surprise... then she gave a beaming smile, rolling her
eyes and shaking her head.
That one was bizarre enough to be true in Sigil. I had to admit, it was rather
disappointing that it wasn't. "Are you emotionally wounded? Is that why you
can't speak?"
She looked at me strangely and shook her head slowly...
"Did your voice cause someone's death or some other tragedy?"
She paused at this, opened her mouth, then frowned. After a moment, she
shook her head.
"Have you sworn never to speak for one reason or another?"
She scowled and shook her head.
Hmm. That would definitely be unbecoming of a Sensate. "Was your voice
stolen?"
She nodded vigorously, clasping her hands together and smiling at me.
"Do you know of any way to get your voice back?"
She shook her head, her face wrought with frustration, then looked at me
pleadingly, as if expecting an answer.
