Banished from the Chorus, the Former Mask Maker Builds a Better Game

Mizuki keeps carving masks that make actors look braver, while his own status windows only warn him about losses, limits, and the next mistake. When a company game drags his craft into a room full of liars, he has to survive by reading fear, silence, and fake smiles better than anyone else. His hands can copy a face, but his heart keeps cracking under the strain of wearing two lives at once. The mask he trusts most is also the one that can ruin him.
