As promised, I made an English version for this post.
Color: Mel-Loly! Why do you have a band over your eyes? Oh! And are you married to Primrose?? She looks like the Healer Brothers and Camila from here!!
(ask made by @amy-2amelly)
Mel-Loly: Hello, Color! All well?
Oh, and this here? Well.. It's a bit of a “long” story, but since you asked...
*takes off the band and sets it aside*
Let's go..
Hey! This is Melissa speaking! I just wanted to stop by to talk about a detail that I forgot to include in the first panel where Mel talks about why he put up the band at that moment. But anyway, explaining a part there that I forgot to include, which perhaps left you thinking: “but by putting the band on, wouldn't it have been worse than without it? wasn't it even worse to see?”, and the answer is: no. The “idiot” actually decided to close his eyes at that moment, so it was obvious that he wasn't going to see anything, but on the one hand, since he knew the way, he wouldn't have any problem getting lost :) and he also still uses it because it is made of a very thin fabric, meaning it still doesn't affect his vision in the slightest. Oh, and he says that he feels better with the band than without it, because as he's gotten used to wearing it, when he takes it off, his vision is a little more vibrant than what he normally sees.
An example:
Because the fabric of the band is “white”, everything he sees is lighter than normal. And when he takes it off, the colors go back to how they were before, but unfortunately, as he's not used to it, sometimes he feels a little dizzy or has a headache (because this is literally like someone who uses glasses, your vision becomes all or a little blurry when you take them off, but for him, the colors return to normal). Making you have to put the band back on or take some medication.
So, no, he doesn't just keep it on to stay focused on his goals, but also to keep his eyes “rested” and pain-free, due to the habit of always putting it on every day and spending almost more than 13 years using it👍

A comparison of what his eye color is now and what it was like before↓ (this drawing looks shit but what counts is the intention to show)
(Fun fact: this blue color from “before” is the same as Marcos's eyes, so yes, Marcos took this trait from his mother in that part.)
And he also has some scars over his eyes (on his “forehead”, in this case), which are covered by his bangs. And Primrose LOVES touching the bangs to see them, since she made them. But Mel isn't very “happy”. In fact, he hates remembering how he “won” them.
And well, that's it! Oh, and I would be very happy if you reblogged this post introducing Camila and the Healer Brothers, Mel and Prim would definitely love to meet them!!
