Small Revelation

Kyle took a deep breath, steadying himself. He glanced at Sari, who was diligently and seriously trying to get the stain out of his shirt.

How is she going to take this?

He looked back at his eyes and tried blinking several times, in order to induce tears and wash away the juice. However, it was not effective and too late. 

The contacts had to be taken out and thrown away.

It was something that had not been possible to stop from happening. He could not avoid it as he had to throw the glass back at Dina while simultaneously blocking the juice with his body to protect Sari. 

As such, he did not have the freedom of movement to avoid the juice getting to his face. He not only needed to see properly in order to catch the glass and throw it, but he also had to be at a certain angle to do so. 

Thus, he could only helplessly endure as the watched the juice fly towards him. Although the glasses did block most of it, some still managed to get through.
