So I finally found the time to read the latest chapters and something about Link is nagging at the back of my mind.

So the apocripha tried to erase his memory by putting innocence in his brain through his eyes, or so I assumed. The operation failed since he was interrupted and now Link is left with innocence wings sticking out of his eyes, dying, fucking Lvellie fucking kneeneled and whatever.
I have this feeling in my guts that he's gonna survive but.

Will he lose his sight?

Also, is it even remotely possible that having innocence inserted that way into his body may turn him into a compatible? Like, if it doen't kill you it will make you an exorcist? Cause that what I picked up from the second exorcist project.
For some reason I cannot unsee this blind, uber crowexorcist Link with Daredevil-like sight shooting laser beams from his eyes and I DO WANT.

I don't think he'll go blind. Apo said the eyeball-wings were there to screw with the memory. I'm betting that glazed look in Link's eyes was due to severe blood loss.

I don't think he'll turn into an Exorcist either, since there are only a finite number of Innocence in the world, and the Second Exorcist project proved that trying to force compatibility was a bad idea, and even then they were using subjects who'd already been Exorcists. Besides, if Apocryphos' attack made his victims that much more powerful, it would be stupid for him to attack anyone in the first place. Although I'm biased because I don't want Link to be an Exorcist. He's plenty badass without being one.

So far all I see for Link in the immediate future is a lengthy recovery. I do wonder how he's supposed to help Allen, though...

(Still, if you want blind Exorcist Link, there's always fanfic!)
