Years in the past, but not many…

You weren’t supposed to actually do it.

[You say this while jerking your arm away. You’re not actually imagining this. That’s good. It didn’t seem entirely likely anyway, and if you actually were, that’d be a big problem. Not like all of this confusing mess isn’t a problem. It might not be? It probably is though.]

Okay, so one of my best friends has been blind for two years without me even knowing about it. No biggie, right?

Well, I thought I’d do it just in case.  After all, what if you had been imagining it? I could have constructed an elaborate excuse within your dreamscape and you’d never have been the wiser.  I merely did you the courtesy of an extra assurance.

You shrug when faced with his question.  You thought that he’d been aware of the fact; you were almost sure of it, but you supposed it had been conceivable he could simply have missed every sign that everyone else would have picked up on because of their ability to see.  It seemed almost impossible to be true, though.

I’m honestly kind of astounded, and still a little bit in disbelief.
