In Nico's world, everybody gets assigned a color at birth. There are purples, reds, blues, oranges, yellows, pinks, etc. And the color he was stationed: black. Your color gets decided by the mark you are born with. It's most typically the color of your mother and father. The mark represents your color. Once your color is assigned, you get sent off to be with your colors. That color forever controls your life.
You must live in your color, wear your color, eat your color, and most importantly, only form relationships- romantic and platonic- with your color. If you break any rules involving your color, you will be punished. These punishments can be getting publicly humiliated to being executed.
Yet Nico still loved Will. He still loved the person he was forbidden to love, knowing all well the consequences.
After three days in the infirmary, Will and Nico uncover feelings for each other. Told by Will and Nico themselves.
