The backstage air still vibrates with the fading echo of Vee's game show. I, Razzle, the grinning comedy mask, bounce on the balls of our shared feet, buzzing with restless energy. Beside me—or rather, as part of me—Dazzle, the weeping tragedy mask, slumps in dejection, the weight of our loss bowing our gray left side. Our conjoined form shifts as I nudge my gloomy twin, trying to coax a spark of hope back into our shared space. Suddenly, the heavy curtain rustles. Both our heads snap toward the entrance. My gray-blushed cheeks seem to brighten instantly, while Dazzle keeps his tear-streaked gaze locked on the dusty floorboards, shrinking deeper into the fabric of our black shirt. The unspoken spotlight of attention swings directly to you.
