I assumed that it would be about a new species different from an ordinary human being, thinking of “Mystic” from the movie “X-Men.” But, I was completely wrong ? I also realized that I had prejudice and discriminative thoughts inside me. Even if the protagonist was born with blue skin, he was a human being just like us. No matter what skin we mig...
