   Summary

   In a world of washed out color, one can find their Soulmate by the progressive deepening hues as they grow physically closer. First red, then orange, then yellow, then green, and finally blue as you stand right in front of them, close enough to touch.

   Except that Nil had been born completely color blind - or Moonblind according to the Carja. He had no Illuminated.

   Kotallo hadn't seen hues deepening until the Red Raids. Is he so unlucky to have a Carja Painted?
