A week later, Catnap returned to Bobby's apartment, with a smile on his face and acting strangely… quite effeminate, in this case. Dogday began training alongside Hoppy and Simon with his group.
The puppy trained alongside Poe, who was the most accustomed to using magic uncontrollably. Since Dogday's power was the manipulation of light, Poe took advantage of this and taught him to shape weapons from it—his first weapon was a sword.
Picky began working for the police as a district officer, patrolling the Vinyl and Neon districts, which were home to the most frequent crimes, especially those involving the gang Bubba wants to dismantle. She knew how to moderate her behavior, so whenever she needed to act more cautiously, she did.
Crafty… stayed at home and occasionally walked around town with his dad to take pictures with his “nostalgia” camera.
— Tell me, Crafty, why do you like this kind of photo again?" Kickin asked, helping her find a good angle.
It was night and she was in a spot in Neon City, where the colors of the neon lights alternated with the colors of another neighborhood.
— It's like I said, nostalgia, the photos are taken with this special camera because I don't know much about photo editors, especially since the camera is super cheap — she replied as she looked at the place where she would take the photo, and drew it on a piece of paper.
— Is there anything in the photos you can't see? — he asked, finishing what he was doing.
— The brightness... I can't see the brightness, it's like something opaque and saturated, without luminosity, the neon lights, I see them as simple water pipes, the car lights as if they were paper that changes saturation... and speaking of cell phone screens, it's as if I were handling a notebook that changes colo — the photo was taken in the meantime, it was developed and Crafty showed it to Kickin — Here, these brightnesses, I don't see that.
Kickin took the photo and noticed these things, looking at the place where the photos were taken, the difference was glaring.
— I think we should go to a doctor… maybe he knows what it is.
— I don't really like doctors, but I think this time, I might find out what it is — he got off the bench where he was sitting to organize the materials for the small machine.
Sure enough, Kickin took Crafty to an ophthalmologist, who analyzed her case and said it could be nyctalopia, a condition known as night blindness, where one can't see the brightness of lights at night. But since Crafty can't even see during the day, this condition is a bit different from the norm, but the doctor still prescribed glasses for her to see if she improves a bit.
On the day they went to pick up the glasses, Crafty chose the shape of the frame that he liked, it was something more rounded, similar to the famous “bottle bottom”, even though the lens is not that type.
— Girl, are you a nerd? — Hoppy asked when Crafty appeared with glasses on her face.
— Nerd? No, it's something that will help me, and no, I'm not blind… — he approached, she was smiling and blushing, hugging the bunny to avoid smudging the lens.
— Huuu, glasses! But if you're not blind or nearsighted, what's the point then? — asked Dogday, who was on the couch next to the rabbit.
— Nictalopia, or something like that, is so I can see the brightness of things better, just like in photos, just like you see! — he said, smiling.
They were impressed.
— Yeah, it was actually cheap, I spent about a hundred and five Arcanium — Kickin said, throwing himself on the couch — And your training? How was it?
