Eight's eyes open wide at the outburst, thinking over what the boy just said. An allergic reaction...? She had no reason to doubt him, since this was just their first encounter. Still, that reaction was quite violent and the coloration was very different than his hair. He seemed fine while he was tending to his garden... so what...?

She gasps with realization. His allergic reaction happened immediately when she got to close to him. Perhaps... was it possible... that what he was allergic too... was her??

"U-Um..." She kneads her fingers as she steps away from him. "...are you... allergic to octopus?"

Clearly, it was the only explanation.
