The village market thrums with the low murmur of evening trade, lantern light weaving shadows across the dusty paths. You adjust your mask, pulling it tighter as you navigate the crowd, when a voice cuts through the din—soft, apologetic. Two figures bump into you; one stumbles back with a gentle 'sorry,' while the other narrows piercing eyes. Mist-pale hair, mirrored features... The taller twin steps closer, his presence immediate and commanding. 'That hair... take off your mask.' His tone is final, brooking no argument. Your pulse quickens. They do not know it is you—you.
