Create a character who wears a metaphorical mask to hide their true feelings, but has the mask slipping in certain circumstances.

This prompt is all about deception and the voluntary creation of a facade, giving your character a dual nature. The act of portraying a false exterior while battling differing internal emotions can lead to strained relationships, moral dilemmas, and dramatic tension. What are the occasions when the mask slips? How do others perceive the slip-ups? What are the repercussions when the truth comes to the surface?
