He looks so happy to finally be out of the barrel in panel two. Of course, since he seems to have gotten some of that wonderful, fermented goo in his mouth, his lack of enthusiasm can be understood.
Love Ben’s comment on the flavor. Both Ben & Mal are in shock at what they see, for different reasons. And yes (in response to MCCOLL34), it seems Mal is seeing color for the 1st time!
No no no. It’s always been that O’Malley sees colour normally when he isn’t spying spirits, just as now for Ben the background fades to insignificance when he is seeing the cleaner bloke’s aura. O’Malley is astonished because he isn’t seeing that bloke’s aura, nothing at all to do with colour vision.
So why does the cleaner bloke have two auras (aurae)? A blue one that looks fearful and a yellowish one that looks astonished?
Oh, and neither of them could have noticed the switch before because they were tied up back to back and therefore couldn’t see each other.
As a wearer of glasses and fellow blind person to Ben, I would like to note my astonishment that his glasses are both unbroken and clean =P Sticky stuff on the lenses is the worst; it leaves such horrible smears it’s hard to see anything at all (or at least, it’s super distracting)

Is O’Malley seeing color for the first time? (And not seeing spirits?)

Someone was right the other day and the wizard now has the talent. As a wizard, it is a good talent. I think it will take him time to adjust to it.

Now Mal has to teach Ben how to understand the gift… As soon as he gets used to not having it anymore.
