I had to pull up the latest chapter ok, so! Scroll to the part where Matthew is about to start the interview, the woman asks why he donated money for drug treatment. We see a flashback of Jin talking about the dream pills, “they don’t show you your dreams, they take you further away from them.” Notice the colors on those two flashback panels. There’s only green, gray and black tones. It’s not because it’s a flashback scene, it’s because how Matthew sees it! Then after those panels, she asks why he chose the color green for the theme of his exhibition. Matthew says: “I wanted to share the way I view the world. There’s a whole spectrum that my eyes can’t see. That’s why I always found sculpting more interesting than drawing.” And we see a panel of the stop light being green, gray and black. Right after we see Jin pulling him in because he didn’t see the car and the panel is in color. Matthew says: “maybe that’s why I’ve stopped thinking of my own eyes as defective”. He’s color blind! All this time I never noticed until he said these words in these last panels! I always thought the green/gray/black panels were either because they were flashback scenes or because they were supposed to “moody”!
So that’s why it’s “under the green light”, he’s colorblind, I had no idea, ugh! And I need side stories!
