Title: Perspective
Author: opalmatrix
Warnings: Description of a grisly event
Pairing(s): n/a;
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Hakkai's history
Notes: Written for saiyuki_time prompt #12: Sense of Sight. Time allowed: 15 minutes. Time taken: 18 minutes. I guess I'm still not finished with Goku's headspace! [And as thewriter0 pointed out, I originally had the wrong eye missing for Hakkai ... thanks!]

Goku still remembered the day that Hakkai had lost his right eye ...

Very nice. I really like Goku's innocence here. He genuinely doesn't understand the situation, but he's trying to. I especially like the conclusion that he arrives at in the end, that it was too bad that he couldn't have done more, but his actions produced a much, much better result than if he had done nothing at all. Good job.
