>K, Null, Appease Siro. Help paint her room her favorite colors
After that enlightening conversation you had, you order Kate to get some art supplies. Kate keeps an eyebrow raised when she notices the weird guilt soaking Null's whole aura.
Now with your new cameras, you can see a faint silhouette fiddling around with the whale shark plushie.
ETF-O: Hey there, sweetheart. Your room is a bit drab, wouldn't you say?
ANOMALY: Yeah but...most of the rooms I sleep at are boring.
ANOMALY: Especially the one dad kept me in.
ETF-O: Well, we can spruce it up a little! We got some paint. What kind of colors do you like?
This quickly gets the attention of the storm. She swirls closer to the burn victim, while K tries to stay close to the walls.
ANOMALY: Finally! This place was getting too boring. <span class="mu-r">Was about to try getting outside to have some fun.</span>
ETF-O: H-haha, right. So, let's start then. Maybe step a bit back?
ANOMALY: Oh, sure!
The storm slowly backs away to the corner, giving enough room for the painters to not have their paint instantly blasted by sand.
ANOMALY: Gold! No, wait, Red! Buuuut Pink is also good!
Employee K focuses on painting whatever weird color the anomaly wants next, not even caring if it looks like clown vomit in the process.
Null does the same, gently gesturing at the anomaly to move once a section of wall or floor has been painted.
You can tell that the storm is getting impatient at the speed the room is being painted at but eventually, the room has been painted...
In a horrid mess of reds, pinks, and gold. Better than the clown car's mix of neon blues, pinks, and greens.
Despite this, the storm <span class="mu-g">giggles with glee at her new-found room.</span> She shifts towards the center of the room to get a better look.
ANOMALY: I...I've never seen so many colors in my room before. They were always so grey, boring! So many colors, though! So many...
ETF-O: Well, I'm glad you enjoy it! Sorry if my friend isn't talking. She's...special.
Employee K would huff if it wasn't for her only having a gas mask protecting her.
ANOMALY: I...think I want to be alone to enjoy this. If you don't mind.
ETF-O: Of course.
The two employees quickly leave the room, having done their job.
<span class="mu-i">The first time she has seen colors besides white and grey for years...</span>
ANOMALY: So pretty...
"I am curious at your inability or unwillingness to talk, Kate." Null muses, brushing off the sand and dust from her outfit.
Kate simply shrugs, not at all interested. "Only talk to those who are hot. Or stimulates intelligence. Anomalies, neither.
