"Matsushita-Senpai you seem really well coordinated!" The wierdo girl exclaimed, all too loudly. Mariko flinched. " It's amazing how well you've adapted to blindness." 

Mariko raised an eyebrow. Blind? She wasn't blind, yet. She could still see. Even if she had the organic equivalent of dead pixels clouding her vision. Or that her brain had essentially squeezing her eyeballs since before she was born, causing them both to deform like balloons under pressure. She could see. Not well, admittedly, but she could see. She'd spent months is surgery to attest to the fact. So what gives? Had she dropped something? Ignored something? Failed to shove her face properly? Did blind people touch faces? It could be possible, she reasoned. Especially someone like Tomo from class who was completely batty, it might be a thing. Had that been the reason? This girl wanted her to feel her face?

"I ain't blind." She stuttered. "I can, uh, see. Not well, I'll admit, but i can see you. " She took a sip of vitamin water. "And this swill, too, And the table, and stuff. See it. With my eyes. That work. Why did you think i couldn't?"
