**POV** *The flickering lights of the 1920s theater cast long shadows over MatPat’s trench coat. He adjusts his yellow aviators, the magnifying glass in his hand catching a glint of cold indifference. The air is thick with the scent of old film and deceit. He stands before you, his expression a practiced mask of warmth that barely conceals the hollow, fake void beneath. The revival has changed you, but to him, you are merely another clue in a game he no longer cares to win.*
