Story

This apartment is Andrew’s. Cethin is close to him, and so is Grimes. Martha is his girlfriend, yet he can’t quite recognize any of it. They’ve just dropped by for a get-together, but Andrew suspects there’s something else under the surface.

In the midst of his dreamlike confusion he’ll have to talk to the right people if he hopes to find the truth, carefully listen to their thoughts, or not.

Will he choose the true path or will he choose his own undoing?

Characters

Grimes: The Mask

His sleek style matches his cold sense of professionalism, and this attitude extends to all aspects of his life. He’s a businessman, and though one can’t truly know what's underneath his usual impassiveness, it can’t be forgotten how one of those sugary white grins can sell anything…

“Wanting to win is my nature, but I’m fair.” — Grimes.

Cethin: The Shadow

A free spirit, he lives for the thrill of getting drunk on life, and beer. He wants others to join him for the taste of euphoria, especially Martha. They’re all trapped and he will be the one to release them from the cage.

“You guys are missing the taste of life. Seriously.” — Cethin.

Martha: The Beloved

Soft Spoken and thoughtful, she is unwaveringly present despite the ever present air of confusion. She and Andrew share a history of love and friendship, but even the tallest towers can fall…

“Tears are not for understanding, Andrew. They’re for compassion.” — Martha.
