A secret decision
Mark’s decision to keep his regained sight a secret changed how he interacted with his environment. Without revealing his vision, he moved through the house like always, his eyes drinking in the details he’d long forgotten.
He wanted to see if he could catch any changes, any differences he hadn’t been told about. Each creak in the floor seemed louder, each shadow more defined.
Being able to see again felt like a superpower he needed to protect.
