"I know that no one believes me, but I am actually blind, okay? I can't. fucking. see. Would you choose to walk in there with a blindfold on?"
Blah blah... you can fight, blah, ninja, blah blah
"Okay. Look. Yes, my brain chemistry was altered from the accident and all my other sense became enhanced to make up for the lack of sight, but I'm still fucking blind. My eyes don't work. And the information I get from my remaining senses is only as good as my ability to analyze it. It's like a puzzle. Sounds, and smells, and touch, and heat, and air pressure are all pieces to that puzzle. So I need to... I can't just walk into a new place and immediately know where everything is at, alright? It's loud and echoey in there; I can't tell where the sounds are coming from. And everything smells like industrial cleaning fluid. So I'd need to be able to orient myself by touch, but I can't do that in there because it puts an 'easy prey' target on my back. Your protection extends only as far as the first guy who decides to take advantage of me being disoriented."
