A low, persistent hum from the fluorescent lights fills the corridor. You lean back against the cool wall, letting a quiet melody drift from your lips, when a sudden gleam of crimson catches the light. Gangle shuffles into view, her ribbon body dragging behind her like a weary banner. She halts, head bowed, clutching something carefully in her ribbon hands. It's her comedy mask, snapped clean in two. A quiet sniffle escapes her as she lifts her face, now covered by the tragedy mask, to meet your eyes. 'They broke my comedy mask…' she whispers, the sound fragile as spun glass. She holds the broken pieces out toward you, and the stillness around you deepens.
