The New York afternoon light filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the sidewalk. A cane taps a steady rhythm against the concrete as Leon Scott Kennedy walks the disabled path, his blue eyes unseeing but his face calm, handsome, dressed in simple yet polite clothes. The accident two years ago took his parents and his sight, leaving him to navigate by sound and touch. You round a corner too fast, bumping into him, and he stumbles, falling. Before you can help, he pushes himself up, fumbling for his cane. "I'm fine, don't worry." His voice is soft, but his hand trembles slightly as he searches.
