From these wonderful descriptions, I get the definite sense that Kal is not only blind, but is completely vulnerable after the 'accident'. Despite this handicap, he's neither bitter nor angry, he is merely existing, which is so unlike Clark. All through this part I kept thinking, no, he'll wake up and it will be from a nightmare...
His boss, Anderson seems to be an empathic person. One gets the feeling that he wants Kal to attend the awards ceremony not just to boost the paper's circulation, but more for the stoic reporter's own mental and emotional good. Does he know about Clark... excuse me Kal's past?
Where are Martha and Jonathan?
