<p>Hey, guys! I have a question if you don't mind me asking. :)</p><p>Now, I might just be slow, but it's taken me far too long to realize that Fire had not said a single word to us. <i>(Because he's <b>MUTE</b>-)</i> Like, he can make noise—albeit, very quiet noise—but he cannot speak. Instead, what he says gets projected into our brains using like, holy magic or something. I dunno.</p><p><i><b>[Spoiler for the Palette Glitch story. If you haven't read Palette Glitch before now, then I recommend that you do so. It's really good, and it's much better if you don't know what happens.]</b></i></p><p><br></p><p>In Palette Glitch, Blue can't understand Fire. It looks like he can understand when he mouths a word, like when he was begging for his life at the end<i> (yes, I went and reread Palette Glitch. And DAMN is it good. Pain is my favorite thing to ingest in the morning.)</i>, but Fire never actually spoke, even when he tried to. Not to mention that he also called attention to the fact that he couldn't speak in his inner dialogue and that he didn't know why he couldn't. It looks <i>(to me)</i> like he didn't know that he couldn't speak until he tried and failed.</p><p><br></p><p><b><i>[Spolier over. Feel free to read on from here.]</i></b></p><p>As for Leaf, in the section where you explained her duties, it was mentioned that Fire spoke, but when he did, it was soulless, objective, and only served to remind her of her duty. Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but that doesn't sound like Fire to me. I don't think that, if he saw his sister alive again, he would only remind her of her duty <i>(which I don't think he would have even known about at that point?)</i>, and, y'know, not be happy to see her again, even if he sucked at showing it. Leaf clearly understood him back then, but I don't know about now though, as she doesn't seem to have a read on him.</p><p>All of this yapping has been kind of unnecessary, but I guess I wanted to lay out my reasons for asking. Anyway, to get to the point, the question I'm trying to ask is this:</p><p>Are we <i>(the players, in comparison to everyone else)</i> just god-tier Fire interpreters? Can anyone else understand what Fire says or is it just us? Could we translate for other people?</p>
[fire doesn’t have a voice of his own, and you cannot hear it. but you still understand him. he communicates with you in a way he cannot with anyone else. after all, you haven’t heard a single voice, have you? but theres a certain way that you know exactly what your little friends are saying. a way thats convenient for him and you, but, indeed, you’re some of the only ones who sees this world this way.]
