Dalveska said: Eh? I'm meaning Minoriko's eyes. A MGS reference no doubt but can't recall what exactly. Been a little while since I've played the games.
Suwako just put her hat on Minoriko to fool Nitori. Minoriko hasn't left...
Hmm... Looking at it, it appears Kaguya hid her codek under Minoriko's hat and her eyes are displaying the static of it? That's the impression I give seeing as her hat's trembling and emitting a sound.
I think Kaguya's power of Eternity affected the raisens on Minoriko's hat, or her proximity or touch are affecting Minoriko directly. Notice that the raisens seem to be grapes again.
So, Kaguya is just revitalizing her and Minoriko's wider eyes and the lights in them are a sign that she's "booting up".
In an RP I am doing on Deviant art, this is how I portray Minoriko. I call her Autumn Snake. I have Shizuha even saying "Autumn Sneke! Can you hear me? Snake!? SNAAAAAKE!?" over a walkie talkie. I did this because of the Cardboard Minoriko series.
