20. My muse is temporarily blind.
❝ I am handing you the cane now, okay? This used to be mine before I received more advanced visual aids; you can use it now. ❞ Upon that notice, the underling gently held his hand in her own, and pressed a folded up white cane into the palm of the Boss’s hand. ❝ It is hollow on the inside with a cord connecting the two ends. Uncurl your fingers while keeping the cane pinched between your thumb and palm in order to allow it to open to it’s full length. This will allow you to be able to gently swing the cane in front of you back and forth towards the ground so that you may avoid obstacles. There is also a loop at the top which you can put around your wrist to prevent yourself from dropping it. ❞
With that, they stood back up to their full height, gazing down at the man sat behind his desk. This was rather UNFORTUNATE, suddenly losing one’s vision in their only remaining good eye. Going from visually impaired but still having full vision in one eye to completely blind - especially in such a late age, though not quite old for such vision loss to be expected - would be quite DIFFICULT to adjust to. Scarlet considered themself lucky; they hadn’t been declared legally blind until their late teens, but having lived in Yokohama for many years by this point, they had been able to memorize the layout of the city through pure muscle memory. Having such extensive experience with being blind, they were truly sympathetic towards their boss, but they would not let that show. Rather, they kept an air of professionalism, wishing to not let their walls down, but also they did not want him to think they were being looked down upon for this predicament.
❝ Do not mistake my actions for pity; disability requires no pity, but rather accessibility. That being said, should you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact me. I am legally blind myself, so I can help when it comes to navigation and adjusting to your new lack of eyesight, as well as in regards to finding resources which can assist you even further beyond my own capabilities. ❞
