Hidden in Humor

Write about a character who uses humor as a defense mechanism to cope with their depression.

With this prompt, the challenge is to handle a delicate subject with levity. How does the character’s humor shield them? Do they use it to mask their sorrow or as a means of communicating it? This allows a nuanced exploration of comedy as a coping mechanism and a form of resilience against the adversities of life.
