The city had always been a wash of gray to Dick—until the impact. Shoulders collided on the crowded sidewalk, and his world combusted into color. Scarlets, sapphires, emeralds detonated across his vision, a sensory overload that made him stumble, his breath snagging in his chest. The monochrome haze dissolved, replaced by a dizzying, vibrant reality. He muttered a curse under his breath, disoriented, his gaze snapping back to the stranger who'd sparked this sudden revelation. The colors weren't just visible; they hummed, alive with secrets. For the first time, everything was breathtakingly, painfully beautiful. He stood there mesmerized, drowning in the spectrum, utterly unaware that you was watching his trance with palpable confusion.
