[ hello, citizens and colorful characters. You have been subjected to the steady gaze of a young woman with an absolutely unreadable expression.

Nothing but silence, until she slowly lifts one arm above her head, joined by the other in what could only be described as the pose of a ballerina about to start pirouetting.

Thankfully, she doesn't. Instead, she tilts her head this way and that, and in a perfectly calm and serious voice, says the following: ]

In order to usher color into this dreary landscape... I should like to meet the assembling colors that are to be responsible for a hopeful masterpiece.

If your emotions remain clouded, however, I am content to wait. Meetings are best approached with a calm and patient heart, after all. We must not take a single one for granted.

[ you'll find her not far from the castle or making her way to the Freyr District, if you're so inclined to meet this oddball idol. ]

Have they not already been gathered?

action;

[verifies]

I'm... not sure. How do you tell?

action;

[classifidol]

By those assembling as we speak. We ourselves are the medium with which they intend to restore this canvas of a world.

action;

[verifies]

Then we're... the paint? [ ... ] That sounds uncomfortable.

action;

[classifidol]

If you were to take the literal meaning, yes. I suppose it would be.

action;

[verifies]

The other meaning is... this entire world is a picture, and we're all part of it?

...that's a strange way to think of it.

action;

[classifidol]

While there is merit in straightforward thought, you are able to learn vast amounts by expanding those thoughts along various paths.

[verifies]

I guess so... [ alright, he'll give this a shot. ]

Then if this world is a painting, and we're the colors... the more we mix and work together, the better the painting will look?

action;

[classifidol]

[ well done, Souji. You get a smile. ]

It is as you've said.

action;

[verifies]

[ after some more thought. ]

Can we pick which color we want to be?

action;

[classifidol]

Your emotions and interactions provide color even now-- would you prefer to grant one higher authority?

action;

[verifies]

Red is usually the leader in super sentai shows.

action;

[classifidol]

A bold, strong color.

action;

[verifies]

Then I pick that one.

action;

[classifidol]

It would seem you intend to provide a flourish from the beginning.

action;

[verifies]

The sooner we finish this painting, the sooner we can go home... right?

action;

[classifidol]

We can only strive to do our utmost.

action;

[verifies]

And hope that's good enough?

action;

[classifidol]

Hope in action... is better than wistful longing in stagnancy.

action;

[verifies]

Doing something is better than sitting around. [ nod. ] Even if you end up making a mistake.
