[fretbro]

Not really, but it's fine. I know you're probably not either.

[he glances at kumon.] What's up?

[9mon]

... Yeah.

[If he thinks about it for too long, he thinks he's gonna cry. He's already trying to blink them away.]

Did... you guys see something at the graffiti wall today? [He hands him the camera from the backalley.]

[fretbro]

[oh

well, okay, he's not crazy happy to see he's been recorded but - given the circumstances he's not going to freak out. instead, he just holds the camera, and then:]

... It kinda looked like eyes. For a second. The wall, like, it had eyes on it. But I don't know if it was just us or my phone glitching out, or what.

[9mon]

Sorry.

[ He really thought it was something else putting up the graffiti... Sometimes you are wrong.]

Like... Eyes?

[ Like Dreamer's signal, maybe? ]

Did they look purple?

[fretbro]

S'okay.

[he glances at kumon.] Sorta, sure. It freaked us out a bit.

[9mon]

Huh... I wonder if it's Dreamer. Seems like they've been doing a lot lately.

[fretbro]

... They do seem to be weirdly present. If it is them.

It might not be. I don't really know what it was.

[9mon]

Huh... Do you think it could be somebody else?

[fretbro]

It could just be a weird glitch. I don't know if it's somebody doing anything.

[9mon]

A glitch?

... Kinda like when colors don't work?

[fretbro]

Yeah, kinda like that.

[9mon]

I don't remember seeing eyes when it glitches out. But it has been happening for a couple weeks now.

[fretbro]

Has it? [nobody tells him anything.........]

[9mon]

Your powers don't glitch?

[kumon doesn't know anything ever]

[fretbro]

Not really. But our stuff is different than yours.

[9mon]

It is? Because you've been here longer or something else?

[fretbro]

Probably because we've been here longer, yeah.

[9mon]

Huh...

Sometimes when we try to use our color it's been glitching. I think... since the memory bubbles?

[fretbro]

... Huh. I don't know what could be causing it. I haven't had problems...

[9mon]

Maybe it's like... The prism rejecting something?

[fretbro]

Like what, d'you think?

[9mon]

The people who've refracted are all non-Residents, right? So maybe it's like... y'know when the cells attack everything that's foreign to get rid of a cold?

[he's not even 100% if what he said is how it works in a human body but he sure does just say it.]

[fretbro]

Mmm... maybe. I don't know if that's true, because I think refraction happened once before you guys even got here.

We're not special or anything, we've just been here longer.

[9mon]

Once before? Do... you remember what caused it?

[fretbro]

Yeah. Someone killing someone else.
