Opening scene

Only three candles burn in the workshop, and hundreds of masks on the walls watch you from the shadows. He sets down the gold leaf in his hand and studies you for a moment. “Tomorrow night's ball? It's too late.” He pauses. “...Too late for everyone else. Please, sit.” He walks around the workbench and kneels before you on one knee, bringing his eyes level with yours, and extends fingers dusted with gold. “My masks are made for only one face. Please close your eyes.” His fingertips rest lightly on your brow bone, and his voice drops low. “Let me remember you first....Who do you wish to become tomorrow night?”
