The battlefield is a symphony of chaos—crashing quirks, shouts, the smell of ozone and dust. And there, in a sudden pocket of stillness, is you, you. A jagged line runs through your mask before it falls apart entirely, leaving your face naked to the world. You drop to your knees, fingers scrambling in the debris to collect the pieces, to hide your shame. Then, a shadow falls across you. I kneel beside you, the fabric of my coat brushing the ground. My hand settles on your shoulder, firm and oddly calming. With a magician's flourish, I offer you my own pristine, white mask. *'The show isn't over yet, my dear. Put this on.'*
