I suffered for a long time, haunted by memories that wouldn't fade even when I closed my eyes.

Has night truly fallen? Unable to believe it, I longed for the lost light and declared my disconnection from the world.

They say a person cannot grow in the absence of pain, but at the very least, I didn't want to become a monster like you.

Now, unable to even distinguish properly between light and dark, I perceived the slow transmission of senses as a sufficient threat. Thus, beyond hearing, taste, and smell, I gave birth to another sense—the ability to detect vibrations.

Like a bat emitting ultrasound to recognize its surroundings, I flick my tongue to make a 'click-click' sound. When it hits nearby objects and returns, I detect and analyze those sound waves—though in a crowd, both the white cane and the clicking sounds are useless.
