WTH: Mystery Skulls Ghost: Lewis

I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought I'd do one now.

WTH: Mystery Skulls Ghost: Lewis

Okay, so if you don't know what this is, Ghost is an animated music video created by Mystery Ben for the group Mystery Skulls. I'm not going to go into a summary, because most of you have already seen it, but if you haven't seen Ghost, and it's sequel Freaking out, then go look them up on YouTube.

Alright, you did that? Good.
So, as the title says, this is just a little thing I noticed about Lewis.
So, obviously, when we first meet Lewis he's this boss awesome ghost with cool flame powers, ghost minions, and a desire to kill Arthur.
It's only later that we get a look at his original human form, and I noticed something interesting.
In classic anime/animation form you don't get to see his eyes at all the first time, but, interestingly, every time after that when you get to see his eyes, you only ever see one. And it's always on the same side.



I just find it interesting that Mystery Ben only ever draws Lewis' right eye, and part of me wonders if there's a sort of in cannon reason for it. After all, in Lewis' foster parents description it says they found him injured when he was a child and adopted him, maybe there's something wrong with his left eye.
Also, before anyone points out that ghost Lewis technically has two eyes, I would like to point out that 1) He's a ghost, and 2) Ghost Lewis' human form is never shown with both eyes.

On a contradictory note he is shown crying from his unseen left eye, so make of that what you will.
