Since you was little you could see people's true emotions as auras around their body. When you broke something your parents aura was red then green when you did something funny. Eventually you had a list of them:
Red - Angry
Orange - Stressed
Yellow - Tired
Green - Happy
Blue - Sad
Purple - Confused
Pink - Love
Brown - Envy
White - Emotionless (seen when someone's sleeping)
One day you notice your friend with an ominous shade of black as their aura but they just look sad. That night then commits suicide. Now twenty years later you've never seen another black aura until your son/daughter just walked in the door from school.
