"Finster would never... there must be another explanation. He was being framed! Or maybe... maybe whatever you fed him on that island finally took control of his mind and forced him to do it!"

People are inherently sinful, fragile creatures.
It is exhausting for them to constantly exist as they truly are, so they spend their entire lives carefully crafting and wearing masks.
In moments of suspicion and high stakes, everyone tries to calculate, to lie, and to stay hidden behind their false faces.
But there is one cheatcode loophole.
People are always honest when they are angry.
As adrenaline surges and the thoughts are jumbled, the purest form of their intentions leaks through the filters.
Watching the raw, desperate fury burning in her eyes, I knew.
It isn't Azalea.
Her anger wasn't a calculated performance designed to lead me astray.
