I used it on Kido next.

I had forced her and Kano to have a staring contest with me so that way I would be able to use my eye power without them really knowing. I sat down on the bed across from Kido and had Kano tell us when to begin. I had to be quick about this though, because I knew that after a while, Tsubomi would disappear from my vision from the prolonged staring. I had to catch her before she blinked.

We sat in silence for a minute, the two of us intently focused on the other's eyes. I saw her struggling not to look away, twiddling her thumbs, and she kept crossing and uncrossing her feet at the ankles. I waited, for it could be any moment now...

And I blinked a second before she did, and I stole her gaze.

I was surrounded by a feeling of neglect suddenly, and it was weighing me down, filling my heart with distrust and bubbling anger and sadness. All of these must have added up to Tsubomi's current shyness. I held my breath and waited patiently for all of the scenes to come on through. It began with being shoved around by servants, then switched to be pushed to the floor by a sibling, until finally ignorance from a father. Then, I felt extremely hot and all around me was crackling embers of orange and yellow.

"Papa!" I screamed out and tried to run from the corner of the room to the door, but the flames only pushed me back. With every passing second, they would tower higher and higher above me, pushing me farther and farther back, until I was pinned underneath a desk. I heard a snapping and crinkling from above, and then the ceiling gave out, and beams and wood collapsed into the room below, feeding the fire more and more fuel. I heard a strangled cry, and I peered out the side, seeing a young woman stuck beneath a fallen beam. Her hair glowed red in the inferno that surrounded us.

I felt all thoughts leave me as I ran forward and tried to yank her out of it, but despite my efforts, there was another cracking sound and then the next floor's furniture fell through the gaping hole in above us.

There was a large gap in Tsubomi's memory. I could hear words and sounds in this space of blackness and emotions flowed into my heart and then there was light, and then it was if I had just awoken inside the orphanage.

There was something like that in Marry's memory too, inbetween the death of her mother and her centuries of loneliness. A space of nothing, or forgotten thoughts.

"Seto you won! Now go against me!" Kano chirped as he sat down next to Tsubomi, pushing her over a little. I blinked a few times, startled. I had blinked before Tsubomi, so why was Kano saying I won?

"Seto! Seto! Let's start already!" He waved a hand in front of my face.

"Oops. Sorry. I blanked out for a second. Let's start. Tsubomi-chan, you can be the judge."

"O-o-okay..." She mumbled quietly.

I waited for the count and then I opened my eyes and peered at Kano, my eye power activated. I waited, and waited, but I saw nothing. Why couldn't I see what was in Kano's past? Why couldn't I see his thoughts? It worked with Tsubomi and Marry, so why not-

Kano was smirking at me a little bit.

It took me a moment, but then I realized something.

"Kosuke-kun, you lost." Tsubomi disrupted my thoughts.

Kano finally blinked.

"I won! Yay!" Kano jumped up and put his hands in the air excitedly before he looked back down at me, a confused yet somewhat placid expression masked on his face. "Sorry, Kosuke. I won."

I could swear I still see him smirking somewhat.
