The way Togusa builds up to the question Matt's mind starts suggesting the worst things he's heard before, none of them being something he'd expect Togusa to actually say, which builds anticipation. What could it be? He draws in a breath and holds it.

He bursts out laughing.

"Sorry, sorry. You just made it sound like you were going to ask something really personal or disturbing. It's fine. I don't mind talking about it, as long as it isn't the only thing we ever talk about, and that's not a problem in this case," Matt explains. "You're not the first person to ask that kind of question. Plenty of people want to know if a blind man can see anything at all."

"In my case the only things I see are in my mind. Memories, imagination. As you might recall I lost my sight when I was shoved backwards down some stairs. There was no damage to my eyes in the accident but the impact against my head permanently damaged my visual cortex. In simplest terms, the wire that would send the information from my eyes to my brain was broken. No light, nothing gets through. So I can sleep with the lights on."
