Hey, Aliza! I have a question for ya. Your eyes can change color, right? If so . . . Can you tell me how it works and what depends on it?

“I, um… I don’t really know how it works? Daddy says it’s a reflection of my soul’s indecision, since it hasn’t decided what my core trait is yet… I do know it changes depending on how I’m feeling, though. The most common colors are blue, when I’m happy or normal, yellow when I’m surprised or worried, and red when I’m mad or scared. I’ve seen purple sometimes too, though, and one time orange. Hehe… they wheel-y can’t make up their mind. …like the color wheel. Okay, that was bad.”

Has Aliza ever snuck out or tried to sneak out?

“Um… um… don’t tell daddy, he’ll be so mad, but… yeah. Sometimes, when he goes out at night, I sneak out and walk around the village. Never outside the fence! I just need some time by myself sometimes and… I love him, but… my dad hovers a little bit. I understand why, but it can be really stifling.”
