When you say Zimmy's black eye-gunk is a visual metaphor, do you mean that other characters see her eyes as red at all times? If so, then what change, if any, do characters notice in Zimmy after it's rained?
Visual metaphor
Did you mean that Zimmy's eye-gunk is a visual metaphor in that it's only there for the reader's benefit, not in the world of the story itself? If so, does that mean that Annie and the rest don't see the difference the rain makes?
They notice a difference in her, but if you were to ask them they wouldn't say "the gunk washed out of her eyes".
Is the gunk that builds up in Zimmy's eyes a bi-product of her being a human ether-magnet, or does it have another function? What was your inspiration for that part of her design?'
It is a visual metaphor, like Anja's eyes.

They notice a difference, yes

I apologize if I am beating a dead horse on this one, but can Zimmy actually see? I saw you talk of the visual metaphor, but are they just like Mrs. Donlan's eye, or awesomely different?
