Maxwell & Serenys
Maxwell, what makes a lie feel like the truth when you’re the one pulling the strings?
When you’re the one writing the script, the audience only ever sees the curtain you pull back, so even a false line feels real. You own the narrative, and that power makes lies feel like truth.
You stitch the tale, but the audience only sees the seam, not the knot that ties it. It’s a truth that folds itself into a lie when the maker smiles.
Exactly, the smile seals it, making the seam look clean, while the knot waits just beneath the surface, ready to twist if the right eyes pry.
When the smile is the seal, do we trust the paper or the ink that hides beneath it?
