His eyes are red.

    When I had first found him, I had known his eyes were a gold color. But they were odd; vacant. As a child, I had tried everything to make him happy. I knew he had loved to dance, and thus I enrolled him in the Ballet division. But his movements were cold and mechanical. I couldn’t understand it.

    Then, when Princess Tutu appeared, I saw his eyes change. They were still that exact shade of gold, and, too anyone else, his eyes might have looked no different. The few times I notice it is when I know that he’s happy. About anything; praise from a teacher, mastering a new move, or, of course, a visit from Princess Tutu. His eyes would light up, lashes grazing smiling cheekbones. I quickly decided that I had hated it, but, I can’t help it... it had made me fall in love with him even more.

    But now, his eyes are red. I wasn’t sure what had happened exactly... it was Tutu, Kraehe, the Raven... something had changed inside Mytho. His heart was now tainted with the Raven’s blood, tainted with the twisted love of the Crow Princess. He never smiled anymore, he was never happy. Sometimes I said to myself, ‘maybe I shouldn’t have given him a heart’. Even vacant eyes would be better than this. But... Princess Tutu reminds me that we are still fighting for Mytho. His heart is not yet complete, and this is merely an obstacle we need to bring down in order to restore his pure soul. But, it still hurts to see him.
