“Why?”\n\n“Because I’m
blind.”\n\nGiving that sort of reason first was definitely just
an escape. Because I’m blind, because I’m handicapped, weren’t
really the main reasons. It was just easier to blame his problems on
his own deficiencies. \n\n“When I was first hired, several of
my coworkers were concerned about me. But—-”\n\nWhenever
someone was talking about something a blind person wouldn’t be able
to understand, they would suddenly fall silent. Tatsumi could tell
everyone around him felt like, ooh, this person wouldn’t
understand, or we started talking about something a blind person
wouldn’t get, and sensed the awkwardness they felt even if he
couldn’t see it. There were people who felt sorry for him, and people
who thought it was a pain to have to worry about making him feel
awkward. Everyone had their own way of thinking, so there were even
people who were worried about Tatsumi not being concerned. He had
never really told anyone, could you please refrain from talking about
that since I’m blind, nor had he ever wanted to. He didn’t care if he
couldn’t find out in real time if there was a pretty flower in bloom,
or if the manager was wearing a really obvious hairpiece. Even if he
didn’t know, he wouldn’t be aware of it anyway, so he wasn’t worried
about it.
