Chara catches the ball. There's more force to it, and part of them wonders if the other is just going to throw it harder each time until it bruises.
They look up, as they've been instructed. Chara drops the ball.
The other has red eyes, too. There's so many demons in this place, and Chara has no idea what that might mean. Solidarity? Antagonism? The other kid one they met seemed to think the former, so that's the pattern they adopt for now.
They can't believe it took them that long to notice, but then again, the others were pure chance when it comes to avoiding looking people in the eye - which is coming just a little easier now. They stoop to pick up the ball and toss it back, flushing at "You can do it!", something inside squirming a little.
They're also side-eyeing the dog a little, now that it's unoccupied and watching. Dogs chase balls, don't they?
hhh it's hard getting them to *mention* it
