===============================

Griseo wanted more colors.
She wanted different shades of colors she's never seen before.

Colors she's never had.
Colors she wants to keep.
Colors that were never discovered.

Mei gave her the inspiration for this.
Since Mei's appearance, she wanted to find these 'rare' colors.
With them, Griseo wanted to show Mei... the painting that will show Mei's true colors.

Ever since then, she has been painting.
Wanting to show what Mei's colors are like, she has been completely busy trying to find these colors for her.

She wanted to find more.
It was now her passion to do so.
Now that she's found motivation, she also always wanted to paint Y/n's true colors.

Who was Y/n exactly?
Y/n was Griseo's second mother figure in the Flame-Chasers.
To Griseo, Y/n was like red, yellow, pink, and sometimes blue.

Y/n and Aponia were very close friends from Sundown Alley.
Together they became Griseo's guardians.
While Aponia was a bit strict on her, Y/n was the opposite.
Y/n loved taking care of Griseo, even loved having her by her side.

Back when Y/n was alive, she was also a painter.
Just like her little princess, her art was also very beautiful, more complex, and awe-inspiring.
They loved painting together.

Everyday, they would stick together and paint until Y/n had to go to missions.
At one point, they did a couple of collaborations together.
Other times, they would take naps together.

Griseo never once would let Y/n out of her sights.
Wherever Y/n went, she followed.
Luckily for her, Y/n doesn't mind it.
In fact, since they have a strong bond like parent and child, it's completely normal for them.
That's how close they were.
Like mother and daughter.

Although lasting memories can last, not everything can last forever.
Their world had perished ten thousands of years ago.
Now they reside in the Elysian Realm.
That's where all the Flame-Chasers sync their real memories to become what they call in their terms, a SIM.
But not everything is about a happy friendship.
Here, most to all the Flame-Chasers were in their own world.
Their relationship was separate, complex, and rocky for most of them.

...
...
...

Sim Y/n was in the lobby, her little friend was in another locked area in the realm.
Y/n looked and looked and looked.
No sign of Griseo.

Y/n was getting worried sick.
Where was she...?!

Is she in another place Y/n can't access?
Does she need a successor in order to break this access?

Y/n knew of the different places in the Elysian Realm.
But for some reason, she wasn't able to get access through any of them.

Even the Deep End, where Y/n would normally be able to get through Aponia.
Now blocked from Y/n.

Was it a breach?
Was it a virus?
Or an automated authorized system from the outside world was implemented to prevent the SIMs from going on any further?
Most to all were separated.

Fortunately, not all hope is lost.
Eventually Elysia...
And Mei, their next successor were able to unlock other places around the realm, first transported to a place that looked like a painter's dream.

Y/n: "Who resides here?"

Mei: "Are all these paintings?"

Elysia: "Wow, these paintings are very beautiful~!"

Mei: "There's no one here, though..."
Mei: 'Are you sure we're in the Deep End, Elysia?'

Y/n: "That painting..."
Y/n:  "It's mine."

Mei: "You... painted this?"

Y/n: "Yes, this landscape..."
Y/n: "The interior painting of the Elysian Realm, I was the one to..."
Y/n: 'Along with her...'

Mei: "This is... wonderful."

Elysia: "She should be here, if I'm not mistaken."
Elysia: "Maybe the Deep End locked us out once more?"

Mei: "Wait, who's that girl over there?"
Both turn to see the little girl Mei was pointing at.

Y/n: "She's..."

Y/n knew of that figure.
Her light blue hair.
That white dress always stained with different colors of paint.

She sees the familiar girl painting away as she sits on a chair.
The familiar voice rings.
That soft lingering voice that Griseo only knew who it belonged.
The painting girl turns her head to them, stops in her tracks.
She sees the woman she always loved being around.

Y/n: "Griseo...?"

Griseo: "Y/n..."
Griseo:  "Mama...?"

"Mama."
That is what Griseo always called her.
Even though Y/n told her to call her by her name, she refused.
Y/n did treat her like her child, and that's what mattered to Griseo.
Yes, it was like the color of pink, that represents the meaning of love.

Y/n: "Yes, it's me, your Y/n-mama."

...
...
...

Griseo felt as if she couldn't move.
She wasn't scared nor she wasn't sad.
Griseo was surprised, happy to see her once more.
Like the color red that represented love, yellow for happiness, and blue for sadness.
She didn't care for her paint as it all fell softly on the green painting grass.

Griseo: "Y/n..."
Griseo: "Y/n-mama...!"

Griseo ran to her, as if she reunited with someone very important to her.
She immediately hugged her.
Y/n's warmth was the one she missed.
Y/n did the same.
She loved her more than anything in the world.
Griseo's reappearance did just that.

It took Y/n very long, but they were able to meet once more.

This time...
In the Elysian Realm, in Griseo's dreamland.

And Y/n had Mei and Elysia to thank for that.
And now, Y/n doesn't have to worry for Griseo any longer.
