After Blue had helped me out from under the chandelier, we sit on the steps in silence... until I break said silence.
Me: Where were you?
Blue: I-I was hiding... under the bed...
Me: {eyes widen} The whole time?
Blue: Yes... It was all I could do... Hide like a coward...
Me: No, Blue, you're not a coward at all. There wasn't anything you could've done.
Blue: B-but at least Red fought back...
Me: That's cause she's... well, Red.
Blue: {mumbles} She'll be DEAD soon... Just like everyone else...
Me: D-don't think like that.
Blue: It's the cold, hard truth...
Me: Maybe it doesn't have to be. There is a way we can save them.
Blue: {gasps softly} W-we...? I-I can't fight... I-I don't want to fight... Wh-why are you doing this to me...?
She buries her head in my shoulder and I roll my eyes as I pat her on the back.
Me: Don't worry, Blue. I have a solution that can help you fight without having to touch ANYBODY.
Blue looks up at me and tilts her head.
Blue: Hm...?
I reveal the Chromanet in my hands.
Me: Voila!
Blue: Wh-what is that for...?
Me: Blue, say hello to the Chromanet.
....
Blue: Do I have to...?
Me: {gives her a teasing look} Don't be rude. Technology has feelings too.
Blue: {sighs and looks away} H-hello...
I chuckle as I turn the tablet on.
Me: But seriously, you're going to love this. Because you'll have the honor of being the, technically, first Colortopian to unlock... your forgotten powers.
....
Blue: Um... Have you gone... mad...?
Me: No, Blue, I'm serious. You have special powers. You just forgot you had them when the world turned gray.
...
Blue: D-do you need some water...?
Me: {sighs} I guess I'll have to show you I'm not crazy.
Blue: You're not...?
Me: Look, all you have to do is stay still and let the Chromanet scan you.
Blue: Alright, then...
She holds out her arms.
Blue: Scan me... or whatever...
I get up and aim the Chromanet at Blue.
Me: Get ready to be amazed.
I press the silver button and the same rainbow beam fires out, hitting Blue in the chest. Blue jumps a little and looks up at me with a worried expression.
Blue: U-um... Wh-what's happening...?
Me: Just wait... Your personal data is being uploaded to the Chromanet cloud.
