Answer #2

Because whenever someone punches somebody near the eye they are actually implanting an alien inside their face, it works it’s way from the face to the brain and takes over that persons mind. Don’t ever get punched in the face dude!

Answer #3

yeah, its bruising when youve been hit hard or something, some of your cells die in that area the purple is those dead cells, and the new cells start to heal it but it takes a week or more it happens on any other part of your body but your eye and the skin around it is much more fragile than the skin on say, your leg so itll turn a bit darker and swell up a bit or a lot

Answer #4

The purple skin is actually a bruise.
