Did you know that some of the ancients regarded blue not as a true color but as a shade of darkness? It’s true. Even through modern times [and she means the 1890s] some painters consider all shadows or smoke to be shades of blue. It’s a cave’s shadow, the darkness before a person, and a frightening color it is.
But still, they were primitive people and they may have been wrong. Regardless of whether the ancients were right, we’ve all gotten a healthy – or not so healthy – dose of the shade by now. We’re all in for a different color, aren’t we?
The new shade ought to be worth the suffering.

[The death toll is inconsequential to Bleu. So is Alana’s insistence that she can’t talk to new clients for the time being – but Bleu isn’t a client, she’s an inmate.]
Did you want to talk, milady, or should we just wait?
