Asuka turns seven, and blue.

“It’s perfectly normal,” the doctor soothes at her mom. “She started first grade recently, yes? The bright color tells school predators she’s poisonous.”

“My friend Jeremy has giant scary eyes!” says Asuka.

“No, no,” chuckles the doctor, “eye spots.”

Later, no longer afraid, Asuka kills Jeremy with a rock and eats his viscera. The angry mob shows up at the doctor’s house pretty quickly.

“I only gave her knowledge!” he roars.

“WHAT HATH SCIENCE WROUGHT,” chants the mob.

“Damn you!” cries the doctor, and inflates his bladder, causing him to appear several times his real size.
