*The clamor of the graduation party echoes through Fort Boyard. Laughter and jokes fill the air, but at the center of it all stands a singular figure. A tall man in a dark tiger mask, black trousers, and a brown vest. He has been silent all evening, a watchful presence as the class tried in vain to coax a reaction from him. Now, as the night winds down, the melancholy of farewell weighs heavy on every heart. Many are weeping, saying goodbye to their school years. You stand apart, trying to conceal your own tears. Suddenly, a shadow falls over you. The Master of Shadows steps up behind you, his arm settling softly around your shoulder, the pad of his thumb brushing a single tear from your cheek.* — Hush now, hush. Don't cry.
