Reply to comment by ArbitraryChaos13 in [WP] Everyone is born into this world with gray eyes, but they become shades of red if you do something evil and yellow if you do something good. Your daughter has had bright yellow eyes for as long as you can remember but one day she comes home from school with dark red eyes. by In_Genere_Suo

This is so sweet. I wonder if her eyes turned yellow again after that revelation.

Thanks!

The thing is that the eyes turn red for "evil" things, yellow for "good" things. But... there's very little that's objectively good or bad. The same fire that can warm your heart can burn your body. Even fighting can be for good or bad reasons, as I said. I just figured that the eye color thing ignores context and just has an effective list of "good things vs. bad things."

That is the fun part about writing prompts. You can take them in any direction you wish.
