Eyes. They tell you a lot about a person. Everyone's eyes are special in their own way. You can learn a lot about a person just by looking at their eyes. Are they mad, sad, happy? What their neutral face looks like, do they look naturally upset all the time or do they seem calm when they really aren’t. Though you can tell how someone's emotions change through their eyes.
People dart their pupils around when they are paranoid of others listening in. Some stare with intent. Some don’t even look at you when you're talking directly to them because they’re not listening. They say that “Eyes are the window into the soul” and it’s really true sometimes. The people around all have such different ways of showing their emotions swelling or calming through their eyes.
Everyone here, stuck here, has such different eyes. Be it my friends who hide their face behind a literal and metaphorical mask, or show her large open fish like pupils with her white eyelashes. People who are with us, his bird-like stern angular eyes, small but long beady eyes similar to a cow's, or the wide eyes with his horizontally shaped pupil on the yellow eyes. Even those against us with his large black hole like eyes, his white eyelashes against his bright green eyes, or her fox shaped eyes with small pupils.
All of them express things in different ways. Some are a mystery, like my one friend, I can’t see his face so I never know how they feel besides their voice. Or my other friend who shows her emotions through her eyes that I can directly see. The others, I didn't see much, they were seen at the start but I only remembered their eyes and how they looked around the new world. The opposing I see though have their own ways they express through their eyes. Two of them it’s harder, one expresses himself more through his voice, since his eyes are quite literally fully black. The other hides his true motives behind his calm facade, he seems so sane yet not at the same time. Though she always looks a mix of calm and angry, her eyes remind me of a fox's eyes.
Eyes are so odd, you can always look at them but never hold them. They’re extremely important for a person since they're a part of a main sense of the body. But you can never hold them. I think they would feel like glossy marshmallows. The closest I’ve gotten to feeling one is holding an emerald. I don’t think I’ll ever get to hold one ever though.
