5:04 PM

(Cathy is seen in her hacking room typing furiously about the blue meteorite. She then gets results: CTTV recordings all around New York. Cathy drinks a can of beer until the doorbell rings, making Cathy swallow it too soon, but holographically catches it before it can reach the computer. The doorbell rings again)

Cathy: (sighs) Coming! (drinks the beer can whole before jumping downstairs)

(Cathy accurately throws her beer can into a recycling bin without looking and opens the door, revealing Rook and Gabriel, both slightly shocked of Cathy)

Cathy: (revealing her tired eyes, now red and with eye bags around them) Oh, hey Gabriel. Hey Rook. What brings you here?

Rook: (hiding his shock) Oh, nothing. We’re checking on you since Alex temporarily took over.

Gabriel: (hiding his shock) And we’ve been thinking. Why not a slumber party? It’s been long since we had one.

Cathy: (embarrassed) Well, it was a very rough night. Bad dreams... Crazy conspiracy theorists with Stands...

Rook: Don’t worry that, Cathy. We can spend the night together if you want.

Cathy: Well, it’s in my favor, but I’m kinda busy with something, so make yourself a home.

(Cathy goes upstairs while Gabriel and Rook go sit on a couch and watch TV. As Cathy walks up the spiral stairs, everything slowly turns into a deep pink before multiple colors appear and move to reveal a grayish-hue to the floor, house, neighborhood, the city, and the rest of the world. Time has been stopped)

Cathy: (breaking the fourth wall while walking before finally stopping) If you’re wondering what I am doing, it’s going to be a long story... way before ROZETTA happened, but not that far. Should we go back a month or more?

One month ago...

(Cathy is seen walking carefree through several houses being reconstructed in a neighborhood at day)

Cathy: That was way before I tried to investigate the blue meteorite on my own and realize my care for my pregnant body, so let’s not go rushing ahead till the end, okay?

(Cathy notices a large white mansion protected by a fence. She then scans the house for any people here, only to find one person doing something to the mansion)

Cathy: (suspicious) Hmm... I’ve walked a long way from home to set the world go back to normal, but this one’s different. I’d better have a look here, but quick.

(Cathy creates a spring to launch herself over the fence and to the entrance. She enters and walks through the hallways of the mansion, seeing much of the walls and doors painted in black, adding more to Cathy’s suspicion. She constructs floor layouts of the mansion, with the person being on the second floor. Using the first floor layout to search the stairs in faster than average speeds before reaching her target. After ascending, Cathy uses the second floor layout to find the person, recognized as a blip, and goes there, only to be met with a door that is a few feet far from the person. Cathy, now knowing that she’s near her target, slowly opens the door to find a painter painting a wall black, oblivious of Cathy’s appearance)

(Cathy approaches the painter and notices a can of black paint. She places her finger on it and taste it, only to stick out her now black tongue in disgust. Cathy takes away the paint can and replaces it with another one with pink paint while the painter continues painting the wall. With some pink strokes, the painter realizes that his paint can has been replaced. He also notices and follows pink footsteps that lead him to a door. The painter tries to open it, to no avail, and peeps through the knob, only to be met with a splash of black paint to his eye, much to his annoyance. Having enough, the painter charges at the door, but it suddenly opens reveals the paint can stolen by Cathy. A bit bewildered of this, the painter gets his paint can and closes the door before turning away, only to be slammed by Cathy holding her paint can)

(The painter is seen painting the upper part of the wall with black while Cathy paints the lower part of the wall crouching. After finishing, the painter notices the pink part of the wall and scratches his head before painting it. However Cathy does the same way the painter is doing before and when the painter is almost done, he notices the upper part of the wall painted in pink and looks at his paint can. Out of frustration, the painter throws away the paint out of the entrance door)

(The painter is seen near a pole supporting the second floor and starts painting while moving. On the opposite side, Cathy is painting it pink while moving too. The two rivals then continue painting the pole until the painter tires out. He becomes suspicious and looks for Cathy at both sides before chasing her in circles, with the mischievous woman leaving a horizontal trail of pink paint until the painter notices the pole in a barber’s pole pattern, with the pink stripes spiraling over the black. The painter also finds pink footsteps, indicating Cathy is nearby. The painter thinks of Cathy as a pink vandal in a hoodie and follows her. Cathy is seen painting a wall until she notices the painter come by. She quickly camouflages into her painted wall while the painter notices the tracks coming to a stop and ponders. Cathy uses this opportunity to paint the back of the painter’s hair with pink, alerting him into turning to the wall, with the unfinished with the words, “WET PAINT”. The painter slides his finger down the “painted wall”, making Cathy giggle and shocking him. Cathy sneaks her way out while the painter is distracted before he notices Cathy’s outline. The painter changes his mind about the pink vandal and thinks of Cathy as a muscular gang member, which scares him a bit. The painter takes measurements of the outline and gets a net gun to capture Cathy. However, an extended hand created by Cathy pulls the measuring tape behind the painter’s back and pushes him, making him catch himself with the net gun. The painter then turns the other direction, peeved)

(The painter is seen painting a Dutch door. As soon as he finishes painting the lower part of the door, Cathy spray paints the upper part with pink. The painter notices this and is becomes surprised. He then repaints it again, but Cathy spray paints the lower part of the door. The painter notices and becomes annoyed, getting a large paintbrush to paint the entire Dutch door. Satisfied, the painter leaves. Unfortunately for him, the Dutch door flips to reveal the pink side)

(The painter is seen finishing with the steps in a large basement, but Cathy, who deviously smiles at seeing the man, presses a button on a thin machine that sends out pink paint onto the staircase as the painter stirs his paint. He turns to see that the entire staircase has turned pink. Out of anger, the painter stomps on the paint and insanely stomps all over the stairs, leaving black bootprints behind)

(The weary painter is seen finishing painting a room. Satisfied with the results, he leaves. Cathy appears and plants a holographic sprinkler, which entirely turns the room pink including the floor by spraying the paint. The painter returns with a “WET PAINT” sign and is a bit confused before leaving. However, he opens the door again, realizing the whole room’s now pink. The painter also notices Cathy passing by contentos with pink paint. Now fuming with anger, the painter throws his hat down and goes back into the pink room to come back with a shotgun)

BANG!

(Cathy’s perception of time slows down, realizing that a threat is behind her. She then dodges the shotgun projectiles and sees the exasperated painter running with a shotgun. Cathy throws the paint can at the painter, briefly blinding him and having him slam into the wall instead of reaching the door. He recovers and continues his chase with the Tech Expert. Cathy makes two sharp turns towards the exit while the painter does the same. Exiting through back of the mansion, the painter wonders where Cathy is. Cathy, who is inside the mansion near a window opening, creates paint out of her hands to fill up the shotgun before giving a whistle. The painter turns to Cathy, who closes the window, and fires, painting part of the mansion pink. Cathy then appears in several windows while the painter unsuccessfully tries to shoot her, unintentionally painting the entire mansion pink besides one. Cathy, who is painting the roof, pops out of the chimney and points to the white spot for the painter to shoot at. Cathy then gives him an “OK” signal in appreciation, making the painter angrily throw his shotgun down and stomp on it. Cathy then uses a detonator to blow up and cover the entire house with pink paint, but not before escaping by a jetpack)
