Let's see... by detective_doodles

Hey @Goobercat110 !! Eric here, answering your question:

"Uh… okay, so... Y-YEAH!! Glasses are REALLY necessary for me. Like, I need them almost as much as my camera at work… and trust me, that’s saying a lot.

I’m around -3.75 in each eye, so without them… everything’s just blurry. Faces, lights in the distance… all of it.

It’s like the world’s a soft, out-of-focus dream…
Without them, I can’t even tell my teammates apart!

I was diagnosed with nearsightedness when I was six. And I still remember the first time I put on glasses—it was like magic. I went to play in the park, and suddenly the leaves on the trees weren’t just a big green blur anymore. They had edges, they shone… I-I could even see a tiny bird sitting in a tree! I’d never seen a-anything like that. It was like...! Like discovering a WHOLE NEW WORLD!
Ever since then, I’ve never taken them off. Glasses are just… part of me. They make me feel safe, like the world’s back “in its place.”

And yes, I do wear contacts sometimes —on missions or when it rains, because foggy lenses are the worst.
A-and… okay, sometimes for "special occasions" too. Like that one time... Neo invited me for a drink, and I thought maybe without my glasses I’d look a little less clumsy (but didn’t work, augh...).

So glasses? We’re basically one. Without them, I can't see… and honestly, I feel a little blurry inside too... if that makes any s-sense! Hahaha!"

Some facts about Eric and his glasses:
• He can’t see a thing without them and gets disoriented easily.
• He adjusts them every time he gets nervous.
• He cleans them even when they’re perfectly clean.
• He treasures his glasses almost as much as the camera he inherited from his grandfather—he was a forensic photographer too.
• He doesn’t like contacts, but he wears them on missions so he doesn’t break his glasses.
• Neo thinks he looks way more cute with glasses (awww! <3)

I’m open to any questions!! Don’t be shy—ask me anything: lore stuff, random silly things… literally whatever. Just go for it!

i dont need glasses to see, but everything is pretty blurry, like i cant see peoples facial features and i would reconize peeps by their hair and clothes, lol. When i first put on my perscription glasses i almost cried because that was the first time i saw things in detail. i still do comparisons (taking on and off my glasses repetitively) and it still shocks me how bad my eyesight is, lol.
(i should wear my glasses pretty much all the time, but i dont...)
