Chasing Colour

Some rooms have no doors. Some boys are born inside them.

Will spent nineteen years in a world of silence and grayscale, locked in a room where color did not exist, and language was a forbidden thing. He didn't know the names of feelings, or that stars could fall from the sky just to be looked at. Then, one day, the door opened.

Rescued and renamed, Will enters a world so vivid it aches. The sky is too wide, laughter too loud, and kindness... suspiciously gentle. Nico, the quiet boy who wears black like armor, and Reyna, all sharp edges and hidden warmth, take him in. They teach him how to choose breakfast, how to speak, how to be someone. But healing is not a straight path-some scars are shaped like silence, and some memories hide in light.

As Will begins to remember the truth behind the room-the experiments, the watchers, the way they erased his voice-he must learn how to live not just freely, but fully. With a pencil in hand and color slowly returning to his world, Will must decide who he wants to become: a survivor of the past, or an artist of the future.
