I think it may be an intentional choice by the artist at this point? Maybe to show the mental state of the ML, lack of emotions/empathy, set the stage for the truth about who he is, unsettle the reader, and possibly use the eyes further in the story to show him changing and/or falling in love with MC????
It’s on purpose. I don’t want to spoil but yeah..
It's not an artistic choice but actually related to the plot?! Huhh
He’s fucked up, that’s why.
I love and hate how there's never a highlight drawn in the ml's eyes. It's so unsettling
