Linkon City’s Eighth Face-Painting Contest is now in full swing.

Our current match-up is Lavender vs Rafayel.

It’s currently 8:30 P.M. We’re about to enter the final round.

Rafayel: This will decide the winner. So, if you mix goose yellow and cyan, what do you get?

Protagonist: It’d still be cyan.

Rafayel: Bzzzt, wrong. It’s a flame algae green. I win.

Rafayel, vibrant colors painted on his face, triumphantly brandishes his paintbrush and approaches me.
