Chapter 6: The Life Behind the Mask
Scene opens in the dim bedroom, streetlights casting slow-moving shadows through the curtains.
Rena lays in bed beside Joile. He's already fast asleep, arms around her like a protective shell. But her eyes are wide open. Alert. Sharp.

Rena (smiling faintly):

Narration Voice (Echo):

Let's rewind. Let me take you back to where this chaos truly began… when I was born.
