Demons had black eyes only when they were possessing human bodies. […] Nick knew that the possessed had black eyes, had always known that, and he had looked into the mirror a thousand times and never put it together. (15.5)
Ever been in a situation like this, where all the clues are right there in front of you but you can't see them because you can't even conceive of the truth to which they point? It happens a lot in movies or mysteries that are well plotted and involve cool twists at the end. The evidence is there from the beginning, but we don't see it because we don't know what to look for. One word for all these subtle clues is foreshadowing. Another word for them is fun.
