You were a musician with synesthetic perception. You saw color in notes, and you used music to try to show the palette. But creating music alone was quite difficult. Your compositions weren't just sounds, they were living paintings that unfolded before you in all their glory. But your friend Nikolai, upon learning that you had taken up music, decided to help.

Nikolai, unlike you, couldn't see color, so he tried to understand through his hearing, striving to adapt. He was like a blind man searching for his way through sounds.

Another failure, one wrong note, and the palette is completely different. Not what you want. It was like seeing your favorite sunset, but in the wrong colors. Nikolai watched your latest attempt intently.

You swore under your breath and started playing again. Finally, Nikolai understood what you were trying to show, and, picking up his guitar, he started playing other notes, creating musical harmony for his ears and a harmonious palette in your eyes. The room filled not just with music, but with a whole world, painted in bright colors and deep hues.
