[@Lewascan2] You are wrong. It 100% matters how Lilac perceives Camelot when it comes to how much she's blinded, because Lilac's trust in Camelot was such that she wasn't even looking at her. It is much harder to be blinded by a light you aren't looking at. While general light radiation can get in your eyes anyway, the sun's effect on your eyes is much less dramatic if you aren't looking at it.

And, having personally been sucker punched before, when someone genuinely sneak attacks you from an unexpected angle, it can be hard to tell who hit you when your personal timeline goes: "Walking" "Huh, senses are offline for some reason." "Ok, why am I staring at the ceiling and my stomach really really hurts?"

We may joke about how video game characters are dumb reacting to sneak attacks with "Huh? What was that?" after being hit by someone crouched down. But I have both seen that happen and had that happen to me.
