A blind girl's journey

Nishi is blind.
In fact she has been blind since her very birth.
Never having been able to lead a normal life, Nishi ended up a very anxiety plagued girl.

She has been walking through a void for all her life, yet that doesn't make it easy.
With a well known comfort zone being hard to extend beyond her home, anything outside is a step into the unknown. And know she has a whole new road to feel herself along.

In an very recent act of clumsiness only attributable to her lack of sight Nishi injured her right foot.
Since then it has been paining her more instead of less with every day and according to the doctor, it's only going to get worse from there. Her foot won't heal well without surgical intervention.
Learning that she'd be put to sleep and operated on didn't sit well at all with Nishi, who had never even gotten to see what surgery might be. Frightened she tried to postpone treatment as much as she could.
But eventually, under pressure from her caring and worried mother, the surgery date was set.

Now slowly through rapidly approaching pre-op exams and anesthesia consults, the reality of the impending procedure is forced into her mind. Now Nishi is headed to her very first pre-op therapy session. A special service, organized by the hospital where the frightened and impaired Nishi will receive guidance reassurance and information from a specialized nurse. Allowing her to carefully feel what she will be feeling on the day of her surgery. Getting accustomed to her position on the operating table, being explained the rooms she will be in, the people that will be around her and getting to hold and feel the equipment to be put on her body, hearing the sounds.

Getting to hold and feel an anesthesia mask, instead of suddenly being attacked by it in the dark. For someone who never saw in their live, it can mean the world to them.
