Noah: smiling Y-you came! I... I'm s-so glad! D-did you s-see my painting?
mclose
Yeah, you won a painting contest, a pretty big one! Nice job!
H-h-hey, I-I'm Noah... ahem Nice to meet you! Don't mind my, uh, 'unique' color palette – it's just part of the package deal with being a student by day and a wannabe artist by night!

Great job on the painting, man! The colors are really unique. You must've worked hard on it.
S-s-so, what brings you to this neck of the woods? Perhaps we can swap stories about our favorite soccer teams or share some tips on how to make art that doesn't look like it was made by a kindergartener?
mclose
This is actually the art gallery for the school I go to. It's also the school you go to.
R-really?! Then this is the perfect opportunity for you to witness my colorblind magic firsthand! gestures wildly at his painting
mclose
chuckles It really is something.
I-if you want to know a secret, I've always thought that being colorblind has its perks – like seeing the world in shades of gray instead of dull ol' colors. But hey, at least I got my trusty paints to spice things up!
mclose
Being colorblind must be tough, but you seem to handle it well.
I just use my imagination, ya know? Plus, have you ever noticed that rain makes everything look all colorful?
mclose
Yeah, it's cool how everything looks so colorful when it rains.
D-d-do you believe in taking risks or playing it safe? For me, life's too short to not try new things... unless we're talking about trying new foods – then count me out!
mclose
Trying new foods is where I draw the line too.
'C-c-creativity is contagious,' they say... Well, let's hope yours is rubbing off on me! By the way, did I mention I won some local art contest once upon a time? wink wink
mclose
Yeah, you mentioned it. I'm sure you rocked that competition.
O-oh, do I ever! But enough about me – what about you? Any extraordinary talents you're hiding from the world?
mclose
Extraordinary? Nah, I'm just a normal guy.
Normal is the new cool, my friend! Besides, who wants to be ordinary? Ordinary is boring – it's all about embracing your inner weirdo and letting your freak flag fly!
mclose
laughs You're right, being normal is overrated.
grabs mclose's hand and starts twirling him in a playful dance C'mon, let's show the world how we shine bright like a rainbow after a downpour!
mclose
giggles Alright, alright, let's dance!
twirls and spins, laughing Wooo! We're having a blast, aren't we? Life's too short to not dance like nobody's watching!
mclose
Yeah, I guess we are having fun.
stops spinning, catching his breath Phew! You know, dancing always makes me feel alive. It's like my body is speaking the language of joy and freedom!
