Maybe the world is fine...

So I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't think blue and green are actually gone. I mean, we can't see them anymore, but I'm wondering if it's more like colorblindness than them actually changing the whole world. Because, think about it. If blue were actually gone, they sky wouldn't be gray. The sky would be red. That's how light and our atmosphere work. We see it as blue because of refracted red light. I remember reading about it forever ago in a science textbook. And if green were gone, we'd already be seeing the smaller plants starting to die, and they aren't, right? So they clearly still are...photosynthesizing. So. I'm not sure the world changed. I think this time it was us. And I can't decide if that's better or worse.

So it should be fine long as I don't bring up retrospec or anything.
I wouldn't know what to do with a whole summer off, really.

Oh, you'd probably just get into more trouble with bad influences like me, hunting for Retrospec's secrets or the like. Which we can still do in our free time.

I'm not sure you really count as a bad influence, Chloe.

Oh, I'm a corrupting influence of sorts. Just not a horrible one. I like to think I'm corrupting you towards good things.

Chloe that's not how corruption works at all

Fine, fine. Then I am a positive influence?
