A tint is the mixture of a color with white, which increases lightness
Dylan, a 19 year old sophomore in college playing baseball, not sure if he's living for himself, or the approval of family back home.
Kodi, an 18 year old freshmen, trying to escape her mistake ridden past, desiring to step out in the world as a new individual.
Kodi is Dylan's tint of color. She brings something out of him that scares the people around him, who think they deep down know him.
"I've always been told by everyone around me who I should be and what I should do. At the end of the day I don't know who I am Kodi. I feel like I'm meeting me through you for the first time and that scares me. I feel like I should know who I am by now."
"If there's anything I'm certain about, it's that you do know who you are Dylan. Deep down you've always known who you want to be. You've revealed that to me, I've seen it. And I know that one day you'll show everyone what all you're really capable of. And to be honest, I thought I knew who I wanted to be, but I've realized that when we start labeling ourselves in prominent categories then we have no room to grow, no room to change, but instead we do everything in our power to fit that mold we have unrealistically created for ourselves. I just want to be Kodi Jenson. A girl who is in awe of a boy named Dylan O'Brien, and if that isn't enough for this world, then this world isn't enough for us."
