Eyes- Kagaya

Despite all the warnings from the doctors and proof from everyone in his family who'd experienced it firsthand Kagaya never really believed he'd go blind.

First, he noticed his eyesight starting to go just a little blurry. But that happens to plenty people, glasses weren't uncommon and much more normal than complete blindness. Maybe he was in just a bit of denial. The thing was the blurriness increased. The slight fog that prevented him seeing things clearly thickened and soon he couldn't read for the life of him, the words smeared until they became nothing more than a black line on a page. This was when he first started to worry.

Eventually he couldn't see anything but a vague outline of what he was supposed to be looking at. That was probably when the truth really sank in. He wasn't going to ever see anything again. There were things he still wanted to see but with his illness he could always tell himself he wouldn't have got to see them anyway, but that didn't stop him from dreaming.

Soon even the hazy images faded away. He couldn't see a single thing. It pained him, he wanted to see at least the people around him. he tried not to think about it, which was hard. He still had to stay positive, he wasn't dead yet.

Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse his disease took it a step further. He thought the next stage of his blindness would be death, however to his horror there was another final stage. He was sitting up in his bed, Amane had gone to make tea when it happened. His eyes started hurting. At first, he thought he must have gotten something in them, but the pain wasn't at the front, it was right at the back, and there was some around his eyes too. The pain only got worse, until he had to dig his nails into the sheets to prevent him screaming, he didn't wasn't to alarm Amane when there was nothing she could do. Then he felt something, deep within his head snap, not as in something in his mind but his physical head. Then just where his eyebags were he could feel some sort of wet gooey liquid. And then he felt something drip down his face. and some sort of ball roll down and land near his hand. Picking it up he felt how it seemed to be covered in some sort of slime. There was something on the back of it too, like some sort of string.

Realising, his hand grabbed his face as he felt along it to his eye. Hesitantly he put his finger to it and slowly moved it closer to his eye socket. It was empty. Panicking he put half his finger in and felt around, he could practically feel the emptiness where his eye should be. The other eye was also falling out too, he could just feel it slipping out his skull, moving inch by inch closer to falling out completely. Almost by instinct he pushed it back in. somehow the eye seemed to stay in place. That gave him the idea. Holding the other one up, he shoved it gently at first into the socket. He pushed just a little harder and it popped in. he felt it a bit, it wasn't desperately falling back out. So, he simply kept it in. no need to alarm everyone. It wasn't like he'd live long.
