Achromatopsia
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. It was a closely guarded secret – something Red Monica could never tell her family, or Red Alex – and she had only seen it once, when she was twelve. It was purely by chance. She was with her father, walking through the back halls of the habitat. They were picking up Monica’s mother from Yellow Block, where she worked. Passing The Director’s offices was the fastest way there, and her father wanted to hurry so they could get a good spot in the ration line. They were passing a bland, gray door when it suddenly swung open and a man emerged from the room inside.
