Yeah, I noticed the eyepatch. Overall, it's a very confusing birthday post from Ishida in so many ways. It leaves so many questions in terms of what it means for Mutsuki's past and future.

Shingles is a disease you get later in life, as a result of a childhood Chickenpox infection. So that suggests something planted early in Mutsuki's life coming back to haunt him, in the future.

And there's a lot about the image that contrasts so much with the Mutsuki we currently know. The current Mutsuki has a very masculine presentation, is muscular as heck, and is clearly uncomfortable with being viewed in a sexual fashion. In contrast, this Mutsuki in the drawing is very soft and sensual, with a delicate build and an inviting expression. It's like two different people, in terms of personality and presentation.
