Even with her advanced programming, she can't seem to change the one vital detail she needs- her eyesight. No, she's not blind, but she figures that she might as well be. She has achromatopsia, which forces her to only see shades of grey and damages her ability to adjust to different brightnesses. She can't even tell the difference between the other Dancers, making her the outcast. When Blue, enraged by her circumstances, moves the hands of the Timepiece, it's brought to the Fixer, where they are replaced and thrown out of the only home they've ever known. Everyone realizes that the world is bigger than they had ever imagined. Can Blue prove herself in this different world?All Rights Reserved
