The question is culled from the short story - By Degrees and Dilatory Time. In SL Huang's story, the key character - Marcus, is diagnosed with cancer in both eyes.

In line three, he retorts that he doesn't want new eyes. He is not as excited as his friends who see it as an opportunity to upgrade to advanced visual tech.

Between lines 30 and 33, Marcus feels bitter that it had to be him and that he had to experience a type of cancer so rare. Even rarer was the fact that it affected both eyes and was aggressive at that too.

In line 45, after the final procedure, he begins to have a shift in the way he feels about the eyes because they seem better than the old ones, only that there was slight discomfort and everything seemed flat.

Between lines 55 and 59, he readjusts into his normal routine with slight modifications. He has to take breaks to sit in the dark. Thankfully, his boss is understanding.

He keeps his hobby - gaming suspended in the interim as the mere thought of it gives him headaches.

Then there is insomnia and a certain feeling of uncertainty about the way to adjust to his new looks.

Between lines 105 and 110, he notices that his friends have adjusted. This creates an internal conflict of depression and relief at the same time.

Meanwhile, Marcus signs up with a therapist to help with this conflict as well as his insomnia.

By line, 126, Marcus records seeing his therapist less often, only when needed, and realizes he is now indifferent about his new set of eyes.
