Eclipse of the Eye

Synopsis

The dance department's most famous beauty who lived across the hall called the police, accusing me of peeping while she was showering. When the officers arrived, she cried her heart out. "He's a pervert! I saw him with my own eyes—he was right there at the window, staring straight at me with those eyes. It was terrifying!" The neighbors' scornful whispers immediately drowned me. "He looks decent enough, but he's nothing but a creep!" "Get out! Don't dirty our building!" I didn't defend myself. I simply, under everyone's gaze, slowly took off my heavy sunglasses and handed my disability registration card to the officer. "Officer, please take a look." "And I'd like to ask everyone here—has anyone ever seen a blind man peeping with his eyes?" My voice wasn't loud, but the entire hallway fell instantly silent.
