“Yeah. My eye itches just a bit.” He stopped for a moment and blinked. Okay, it was still irritating him, but it could be worse. He was unaware of how the contact had slipped out of place and revealed one of his eyes more.
“Anyway, there’s still a lot of stuff I don’t understand about all of it.” He took a drink. “I’m not the best person to ask for information on the ravens. I’m mostly on the periphery of this whole debacle.”
The nonsense talk about ravens went ignored as the detective stared at the other boy. No. It wasn’t a normally occurring phenomenon that made Kaito’s eyes look that way. It couldn’t be. Hakuba stiffened as he leaned in closer, lips pressing into a thin, straight line.
“Ah… contacts…” Hakuba tilted his head. “That’s what was off about your eyes. But- why? Your vision is 20/20 if I’m not mistaken, possibly better… And colored… What is… this?"
By this he meant the red, but already he was choking on his words.
