A character who's been disabled for a long time is suddenly cured, yet it goes unnoticed at first.
e.g. Alice has been mute for years, something happens to allow her to speak, and yet when she does it's other people who notice it / she starts talking while people are distracted, they ignore her or ask her to save her question for later, then do a Double Take on realizing they just heard her speak.
