Summary
And what's important to understand is that boredom doesn't work the same way for Edward Teach. Other people, when they're bored, get a little restless, a little frustrated maybe, but it's not the end of the world.
For Ed, boredom is the end of the world.
At least that's what it feels like. When Ed is bored—as in, capital B Bored—all his senses malfunction. The touch of a fine fabric is the same as the touch of splintered wood. He can no longer taste the sugar in the marmalade he slathers on his morning bread. The salty scent of the ocean air is absent. Every sound is too abrasive, even if it's something he usually enjoys, like the sound of Frenchie strumming his lute, or the crew chattering and giggling.
Also he can no longer see color, and that's the worst of all.
