In Masquerade, Luci shifts from observer to unwilling participant. In The Monument Game, they watched from a safe distance—now, they stand exposed, their gaze heavy with exhaustion, guilt, and resignation. No longer an outsider, Luci is consumed by the ritual. Their struggle against deception and assimilation has taken its toll. Knowledge has replaced innocence, revealing harsh truths about society. Masquerade presents a sobering realization: to truly see the world is to lose the comfort of ignorance.

This captures Luci’s inner conflict—surrounded by light and love, yet burdened by unseen pain. Masquerade asks: Do we mask ourselves to blend in, or face reality unfiltered? It challenges us to question whether truth is liberation or a heavy burden.

This view brings a sense of hope amid chaos. While Masquerade explores uncertainty, it also suggests guidance and resilience. The child's presence symbolizes renewal—a reminder that even in turmoil, wisdom and protection can shape the future.

"Who am I?" The mask shifts in the light. "A seer, a deceiver, or simply what you expect me to be? You call me a stranger, but is it the mask that hides me—or your unwillingness to see?" Truth and illusion blur. Do you truly seek what lies beneath?

Masquerade ends, but the cycle continues. In reflection, we shed illusion—truth lingers, irreversible, demanding acknowledgment.
