An Unspoken Bond.

The bond between the young deaf girl and the old street performer is a strong and unique relationship built upon shared languages.  The man is able to communicate and understand the girl through both their music and sign language.  He sees her problems and becomes an elder idol with whom she can identify.  The shared arts of music and sign language allow the young girl to speak freely to the man, unlike relationships she shared with other people.  He offers different ways for her to understand things, such as when he tells her "close your eyes. then you will see."  Communicating through music and sign language cement a bond between the young girl and the street performer that outsiders, such as the other competitive girl, have trouble grasping.  Through a different perspective, the girl approaches her passion in a new light.
