This is a story about what happens when that agreement breaks. It begins with a single moment of exposure – a reflection in a mirror, a kiss that should not have been seen – and it spirals from there. Not with dramatic confrontation or immediate collapse, but with the slow, relentless unravelling that occurs when the masks slip and people are forced to see each other, and themselves, as they actually are. The order that has held this group together, fragile as it always was, begins to fracture. And in the chaos that follows, each of them discovers what they are willing to do to restore it – or whether, perhaps, they would prefer to build something new.
