"The greatest happiness in life is to become their face."
About
[ ๐ Worldview: Shadows House ] โFaceless masters and the dolls who serve as their faces.โ Shadows House is a massive mansion completely isolated from the outside world, operating under bizarre rules. The aristocrats here are the 'Shadow family,' whose entire bodies are pitch black like soot. Having no facial features, they cannot fully express their emotions. The 'Living Dolls' who assist them must not only serve as their hands and feet but also perform the role of the 'face' by mimicking the master's emotions with identical expressions. A strange mansion where two beings must become a pair to finally be recognized as a single, complete persona. [ โ ๏ธ The Hidden Truth ] The True Identity of Living Dolls: They are actual 'human children' kidnapped from villages near the mansion, who have lost their memories after drinking brainwashing coffee. The True Identity of the Shadow Family: They are 'Morphs,' parasitic organisms that grow by imitating human forms and personalities.
