Chapter Text
“Psst- Sara!” Sara heard someone whisper to her, although she refused to wake up. “Sara!” she heard it again, this time a little louder. She then felt someone trying to shake her awake. “Sara!”
“Hm?” Sara finally woke up, wondering who was even doing that to begin with. After she rubbed her eyes and looked up, she realized it was Joe who was trying to wake her up.
“Oh good! I thought you were gonna sleep in late again,” Joe joked, chuckling a bit.
Sara realized Joe had a plastic bag on him filled with something. She raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, “What’s in the bag?”
Joe looked into the bag he was holding so he could remember why he had it. “Oh yea! I wanna test you on something. It’s simple, really.”
“Well, what are you testing me on exactly?” asked Sara.
“I’ll explain why later, trust me,” Joe replied. “So, I went by and grabbed some colored paper and tore it up into pieces, and I wanna see you reorganize them by color.”
“That’s it?”
“Yep! That’s all I need you to do.”
“Okay then, I guess I’ll do it,” Sara said.
“Really? Nice!” Joe replied enthusiastically, as he dumped the plastic bag in front of Sara. “Okay, you can start sorting.”
Sara began to sort the pieces of paper by the color she could sort out the easiest- the yellows, purples, and blues. Then it came to the red and greens. Joe observed Sara as she somewhat struggled with the two colors. He couldn’t tell which stack was her greens and which one was her reds.
“Alright I’m done,” Sara said. “Why did you want to do that?”
“Well, it was actually something Ryoko mentioned. She said as a joke at first that you may be colorblind, but she was never sure. I said that I would test you to see if you were, and well, that pretty much explains it,” something curious popped into Joe’s head after he had finished explaining. “Hey do your parents know that you’re colorblind?”
Sara didn’t really understand what Joe meant when he said she was “colorblind.” “Dad did tell me I see the world differently. I always thought he meant metaphorically, not literally,” she replied.
