I imagine Eli as someone with sensory issues... would this be considered projecting? I think so. People who lose sight are more likely to gain sensory problems. Ranging from increased sensitivity to sound, heightened awareness of touch, vibrations and textures, and greater sensitivity to sudden or chaotic sensory environments. I like to imagine in moments when he needs to rest, I am there to be that shoulder to lean on. He doesn’t have to use Brooke around me- even though she is nice to have around. Little bebe.
