Claire and Matt in “Unfinished Business”

Claire

You have X-ray fingers now?

Matt

I can hear your bones shift when you breathe. No grinding means nothing's broken.

Claire

What does a hairline fracture sound like?

Matt

[pause] An old ship?

Claire

How do you…I mean, I know that you're blind, but you see so much. How?

Matt

I guess you have to think of it as more than just five senses. I can't see, not like everyone else, but I can feel. Things like balance and direction. Micro-changes in air density, vibrations, blankets of temperature variations. Mix all that with what I hear, subtle smells. All of the fragments form a sort of impressionistic painting.

Claire

Okay, but what does that look like? Like, what do you actually see?

Matt

[pause] A world on fire.

Claire

If all I saw was fire, I'd probably want to hit people too.
