New Trait Unlocked: Sight L1!
-Sight L1 You can see! Well, you can make out blobs of light/dark, but you can see!

Good choice. Now that our protagonist has eyes, let's see what's going on, shall we?

If it could think in more abstract terms, this might be an expression of Joy. Hang on…

“Wowee, I can SEE. And I just found how out what Sight is! And what thinking is! And what advanced…”

Oh who am I trying to fool. Right now, although it has sight, it still has the brain of a rock. Well, it would if it had a brain, but you get the point. As such, until it starts learning, say, through telling it things to do, it will do absolutely nothing regardless of whatever approaches the little fellow. Speaking of, although floating in place has its merits, it's not terribly productive at all. With that in mind, what is the first thing the little fellow should do?
