"Oh dear! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.. my friends are all turning gray! Is there anything you can do?"
You shake your head, looking down at your paws.
"Of course you can't.. this is all Totoro's fault! My friends are all.. they're gray! i'm NOT lying! Bonnie, for example.. she looks even more scared than she already is when she's gray! Oh dear, oh dear.."
You suddenly noticed something. "gray?"
"Goregeo- no! GRAY! Just GRAY!"
You suddenly realize Totoro's "little gray curse" effects more than just colors, but words.
