Ah no, I meant he'll be hunting for the holiday demons and Beasts at night more instead of balancing it with his more social patrol/routine that Shouto saw when he was in the wheelchair. These days he usually combines the two since he can fight now, but technically at any point... he could go full savior-hunter and just track and purify corruption-based creatures because that's what his left eye lets him do; he can seek them out and track them down better than a bloodhound. He doesn't because he knows it's important to help people before that point too. So he'll be shifting focus to solely "hunting". He wouldn't even give him an excuse! (In the sense that... it's not a lie and is how Allen chooses to look at it too.) That it's because things feel more dangerous and he's uneasy.
I was thinking too-- he does still get his usual nightmares sometimes when his left eye activates and wakes him up. That'll probably act up worse and more frequently as the month goes on, and is another reason why he goes out to hunt at night more. It wakes him up and he reluctantly accepts that and starts getting dressed. Which YES, Shouto is free to notice and question him on.
He is 100% able and likely to notice his skittishness and reclusiveness as it's probably very obvious EVEN TO SHOUTO! 😂 His fake smiles— he won't use them on Shouto, actually. He still gets a genuine answer, even if Allen doesn't always have the best answer, but he could absolutely see him use them on other people he isn't close to. The sort of thing where it's a flawlessly perfect and generous smile and bright attitude—but the moment the conversation is over and that person turns away/he doesn't think anyone is watching it lags and dims and he looks tired/bittersweet. Those snapshot moments when he doesn't think someone is looking is when it's very easy to spot them. HONESTLY.................. even without the plot this would have been something he could have started noticing. He gets very distracted/distant/bittersweet and a little fragile in December since lolMana.
wow he really is like a stray that just followed him home one day sldm,fsdfjsd LOL. ah and it could be really sweet and I smell development potential
