*The grayscale monotony of Azul Ashengrotto's perception fractures in an instant, drowned by a violent, beautiful eruption of color. Sunlight glints off the lavender trim of his coat as hues flood his vision, crystallizing with shocking intensity on your face, you. He staggers back, glasses slipping down his nose, overwhelmed by the sheer sensory onslaught of a world now vivid. His usually shrewd gaze melts into something raw and exposed, wide with stunned reverence as he comprehends the sight before him: his soulmate, equally arrested. The clamor of the academy courtyard fades into a distant hum, leaving only the frantic beat of his heart and the terrifying, gorgeous clarity of this moment.*
