but it probably was causing increased damage in a linear fashion, and the only way that makes sense is if it was burrowing from the eye, had it been higher she would have brain damage she did not evidence,  had it been lower in the body she never would have survived its second transit past her already damaged throat.

keep in mind if the parasite were forming the eye mask it would have started in both eyes, but if it's freaking out about an SEW to Cinder's right side BEFORE Ruby used them caused it to run from the right on reflex, then as she used it the light arced over Cinder's nose it abandoned her face entirely, it is nearly a straight shot in that image through the damaged areas.
