**Title:** The Story of Gray, the Rejected Rainbow Friend
**Summary:**
Gary Grayson, a socially isolated child, was obsessed with insects, particularly ants. His parents, who fought frequently, discouraged his interest. After his father's death in the war, Gary's mother forbade him from pursuing entomology. However, Gary eventually attended a prestigious college in Roblox, studying Entomology and finding like-minded friends.
Desperate for money, Gary applied for a job at the Rainbow Friends Play Place, despite his mother's past suggestions. Upon arrival, he discovered a strange, abandoned facility and was transformed into a gray, insect-like creature by an unknown contraption. The other Rainbow Friends (Red, Blue, Orange, Green, and Purple) rejected and bullied him due to his new appearance, leading Gray to hide away in solitude, a rejected outcast.
