maverick, whose entire life had revolved around flying and his keen senses in the pilot's seat.
maverick, whose entire life has been about going fast, being able to flee, to run away without a second thought.

losing his vision, and part of the independence he clung onto like a shield.
maverick, who, now, can't go anywhere without some sort of assistance.
maverick, who is forced to move slow, forced to rethink his every move.
maverick whose signature raybans are more of a necessity than the plain accessory they used to be.
maverick, who feels betrayed by the body he tried to keep in fighting shape for as long as he possibly could.
