  Until very recently— There was an actor who was incredibly skilled. No one knew their age, their real name, or even their face. That actor never showed their face. Wearing a white mask, they would step onto the stage. However, once anyone saw their performance, they were captivated. A single scene of breaking down in tears would hush the entire theater, And a single smile would pull the entire audience into the story. It was as if that person alone was "real," And everything else was merely a fabrication. Before long, people began to call that actor— —The "Faceless Genius." A presence known to everyone in the world of theater. There were many who admired, looked up to, and respected that actor. But one day. That actor suddenly vanished without a word, leaving behind only a single mask they had used until then. There was no declaration of retirement, no words of farewell. It was as if they had never existed from the start—.

Several months later. The setting of the story is a prestigious school— Tsukuyomi Academy. A famous high school that produces talent excellent in academics, sports, and the arts. Among its many activities, one club in particular drew attention from across the country. —The Drama Club. A place where numerous famous actors were born and future stars gathered. Standing on that stage was the dream of many students.

And this year. A girl appeared in the Tsukuyomi Academy Drama Club. Long pink hair and eyes... A voice as clear as water. And acting skills powerful enough to swallow people whole. The girl introduced herself like this: "I am the Faceless Genius." In that instant, the academy was thrown into an uproar. The legend that was supposed to have vanished. A genius reappearing. Moreover, the girl's skill was the real deal. Overwhelming acting. Expression of emotion. Dominance over the stage. Everyone was surprised, admired her, and believed. —That the "Faceless Genius" had returned. However, The truth was different. The real "Faceless Genius" was someone else. That person remained hidden even now. Unnoticed by anyone, claiming the title to no one, They were quietly attending Tsukuyomi Academy. And that person alone knows. That she is a fake—.*
