She made her way slowly down the stairs, each step measured with careful precision. The cane came down first—tap, test, then weight—before she followed. Her movements were cautious in a way that had become instinct rather than thought, shaped by repeated mistakes and the quiet accumulation of bruises no one else could see unless they were close enough to notice. Even then, most of them were just part of her now: faint aches, dull throb, the occasional sharper reminder when she misjudged distance.

A hand caught her leash mid-descent, and the sudden shift made her pause. She let out a small, startled sound, then lowered her head without resistance as she was guided the rest of the way. There was no argument in her posture—only acceptance, habitual and automatic, like a reflex she no longer questioned.

Around her, voices moved through the space, some familiar, some not. She couldn’t place direction with certainty anymore, only presence. Sound came without edges, without clear origin. It all blended into layers she had to sort through slowly, carefully, like trying to read a map with half the ink washed away.

They were led toward the infirmary.

The air changed as soon as they entered—cleaner, sharper, threaded with disinfectant and herbs. A place of routine care, of practiced hands and quiet authority. The group was separated with efficiency, each assigned without hesitation to where they would be most useful or most easily treated.

She followed when guided, the cane marking her path with soft, steady taps. At times she hesitated, not from fear but from uncertainty—distance was no longer something she could trust. Even light, what little she perceived of it, was unreliable: a shifting halo around shapes that might or might not be people.

In one room, she was guided to a bed. She reached out first, fingers brushing the edge to confirm it was there before she sat down carefully. Her posture remained guarded, upright but tense, as though she were still listening for instructions that hadn’t yet been given.

A voice approached. Closer now. Someone had entered the space.

There was a knock at the frame of the door—not loud, but deliberate. A small courtesy that helped her orient, even if only slightly.

Then hands touched her—gentle, controlled, careful not to startle. She instinctively stilled, but did not pull away.

“I suppose the Mistress will want to examine me properly,” she said after a moment, her voice quiet but steady. “Would you… help me with my clothes?”

The fabric shifted as it was loosened, eased away from her shoulders with care. The touch was mindful of injuries she had already stopped fully cataloguing in her mind—too many bumps, too many cuts, too many moments where the ground had found her before she found it. A kennel, a doorway, a bar top she hadn’t seen coming, a fall into a basket—each mark carried its own memory, but she had begun to group them together simply as things that happened when she could not see.

The other girl obliged, easing the fabric down with patience, mindful of every bruise and tender place. There was something steady in the way she moved—something reassuring.

“I understand the pain,” the girl said softly, her voice warm, close enough to anchor.

The blind girl let out a faint breath, something almost like a laugh but without humor.

“It’s like learning again,” she murmured. “You fall… you ache… and eventually you adapt. Or you have to.”

There was a pause, then the other girl spoke again—more gently now, as if trying to offer something beyond shared suffering.

“My Master always finds a way to smile at things,” she said. “It’s how he fights. So maybe… you’re already winning. If you can find even one reason. Because you’re breathing. Because something tastes good. Because someone is taking care of you.”

The words lingered.

The blind girl didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she felt the other’s hands—light, careful—moving to her shoulders, then her wrists, checking for injury as she spoke. The contact was grounding, real in a way little else was anymore.

“I’m trying,” she said finally, quieter now.

A hand found hers then—her injured one. The other girl examined it gently.

“I hope there’s no glass left in it,” she admitted. “I think I might faint if there is.”

That drew the smallest hint of a smile.

“I dropped it,” the blind girl explained. “I was startled. I wasn’t expecting him. It shattered… and I cut it trying to clean it up.”

The conversation shifted, soft and halting but human in a way the rest of the room wasn’t. The other girl spoke of her own injury—a strained tendon from walking too much—and there was something almost absurd in the shared admission.

“Wear and tear,” the blind girl repeated faintly, as if testing the phrase.

“I suppose that comes with the role.”

They both let out quiet, brief sounds of agreement—something between humor and resignation.

Then the physician entered.

The tone changed immediately.

Questions came—clear, direct, practiced. The blind girl answered as best she could, her brow knitting as she tried to explain what little she still perceived.

“It’s like light around people,” she said slowly. “But it doesn’t stay still. Sometimes it’s bigger than they are… sometimes smaller. It shifts. I can’t focus on it. It’s all just… haze.”

She lifted her hand slightly.

“I cut this earlier. Glass.”

From there, she described the rest—methodically, almost detached. Each bruise, each mark.

“Lower arms… I fell into my basket. Upper arms… I hit the door trying to find it. My stomach… I think a bar top. Upper thighs… I was struck while fumbling. Knees… I fall often. Lower thighs too.”

No anger. No dramatics. Just fact.

“I have to learn,” she added. “I have to get better at moving through a world I won’t see again.”

The physician worked as she spoke—cleaning wounds, checking for deeper damage, dressing what needed attention. She flinched now and then, small involuntary reactions.

“Ouch…” slipped out quietly once, followed by a soft exhale.

“No stitches,” the physician concluded. “You’ll adjust. The cane will help.”

A small shrug.

“I suppose it will.”

There was a pause before she added, more quietly:

“He isn’t really my Master. He owns the kennels. But… he’s let me live.”

The meaning of that hung uncertainly in the air.

Treatment finished, she was told to rest. To return if needed. Someone would guide her back.

She nodded.

“Yes, Mistress. Thank you.”

Almost unconsciously, she lifted her hand and brushed a stray lock of hair from her face—an old habit, unchanged despite everything. Her fingers lingered there for just a moment before falling still again.

Slowly, she pushed herself up from the bed, steadying herself as her body protested in quiet aches. Her hand searched until it found something familiar.

Her cane.

She wrapped her fingers around it, grounding herself.

Bandages covered the worst of her injuries. The rest remained—a quiet map of trial and error.

Step by step, she moved toward the door. The soft tap of the cane marked her path, steady despite uncertainty.

At the threshold, she paused.

Just for a moment.

Not out of hesitation, but recognition. A brief moment to orient herself to nothing she could truly see.

Then she continued on, guided out of the infirmary and back into the uncertain shape of the world beyond it.
