[January 15] [Original] White
Title: White
Day / Theme: January 15: this light they are so dazzled with
Series: Original [ifupdown]
Character / Pairing: mostly Katerina!Daisy
Rating: PG
There are things eyes weren’t meant to process, but the true problem right now is differences and she never really thought in colors anyway.
So this could be that they’re blank completely, with all their own thoughts and memories and lives taken from them and leaving them this way, all inhuman and perfectly empty. But she’s been told (by a man who was blind, but still he should have known) that white is made out of every other color, that the only reason people can’t get colors to act that way, getting brighter and lighter as they come together, is because they aren’t quite good enough yet. Or maybe because it’s not the symbolism they expect – she doesn’t remember all that well.
She knows, at any rate, that they should frighten her, that all of this should frighten her, and still it doesn’t.
Still – the first time she sees them, in white on white on white so that she can barely tell where they end, she is blinded.
