{ The Present Time-- Monday, November 29th, New York---- }
Robert/ Bob has called and asked for a week off, claiming that he is very sick. It is 90% lie and maybe 10 % true. Mostly a lie, because he just wanted to take time off to take care of some business. There was some truth, because Robert just realized he had a new superpower and it was not the most pleasant one to have.
He had a combination of X-ray vision and heat-sensing vision now.
After a steamy intimate interaction with Rosanne, Robert's eyes were able to see a dazzling, dizzying wider spectrum of colors. At first, Robert thought it was just a result of being overly-excited by being with Rosanne. And, the strange vision eventually went away. But when Robert became super anxious and concerned about what he should do with Nitte's situation, he suddenly saw the wide spectrum of colors again.
