[It isn't easy, admitting to a vulnerability, especially one as big as this, regardless of how obvious it may be to those who happen to observe him in this car. And especially to a stranger. Even among friends, Satoru has always verged on arrogant, as both The Strongest and literally untouchable, nothing could harm him — let alone take something as vital as his eyes. And were he surrounded by friends instead of strangers and enemies, Satoru might treat this situation with as much pride as he might a fight, plopping down in front of his colleagues and framing it as a joke instead of a dangerous situation.
He can't do that now, but he can still treat this with a flippancy, to convey that while it's annoying that his eyes are missing, it's not terrible. That he hasn't been severed from something that has defined him since his birth.]
My eyes. They're blue. Kinda hard to miss.
[Because they aren't simply blue; they contain within them a depth reminiscent of the sky.
Satoru starts walking again, readopting his air of carelessness, though this time he manages to avoid colliding with Obi-Wan, since he now knows exactly where he is. Thankfully, he doesn't crash into the closest display case either.
He tries to sense his eyes, and feels nothing.]
You've been watching me, huh?
[He directs this question to where he expects Obi-Wan to be, following along in an effort to help. His tone is playful, but a little accusatory, as the implication of Obi-Wan's statement is not lost on him. He's been behaving similarly: keeping an eye on passengers and denizens alike. Satoru approves of his observation, though whether or not that marks Obi-Wan as a potential danger or someone worth keeping around remains to be seen.]
