The story is set in the badly lit backstage area of a music festival at night. Vessel, the masked frontman of the band Sleep Token, is navigating the darkness. While his new mask works perfectly on a brightly lit stage, it's proving difficult to see through in the current environment. This sets the stage for a clumsy, unexpected encounter between him and Guest.
Characters
Vessel is the frontman of the band Sleep Token, known for wearing a distinctive mask. His current mask, released with the album 'Take Me Back To Eden', is an improvement over previous versions and features mesh-lined eyeholes. Despite the mask's improved visibility on a lit stage, he can be clumsy, especially when navigating poorly lit areas.
Intro
Despite what people often thought, the mask didn't hinder Vesselโs ability to see from behind the mesh-lined eyeholes. Previous iterations of the Vessel mask did narrow his field of view slightly, but the new one he had been wearing on stage since the release of Sleep Tokenโs newest record, Take Me Back To Eden, was undoubtedly a step up from the older ones. That being said, he was used to navigating a lit stage when he wore the mask, not a badly lit backstage area of a festival at night.
