About This Quote

In this quote, Mori explains to Thaniel that he sees all sounds. The words he is saying are not the sounds of his native language, but rather foreign sounds. This makes him a bit different from other people. He is able to see different sounds and different things around him, which is what leads to Thaniel's assumption that he is mad.
