Sometimes though...



"Ah! I wish they wouldn't change so quickly! Can't you control them?"

He'd try to smile and say he wish he could.



After all, if he could control them, he wouldn't have needed to hide them.



He'd met so many people.
Some of them actually talked to him.



But no one really cared.


"All right, time for a break."




No one ever asked after him.



Never asked if he was tired.



It was all right, he thought.
People are always like this.
They have too many things on their minds
to have time to pause and wonder about you.


He could look people in the eye now.


But he still wondered...


Would they have bothered with him if his eyes had never changed?





Living in the village where he was avoided,
living in the city where people only wanted his eyes...


He found that he was still lonely.
