Man behind the Mask

Is not that fitting enough? I chose to borrow this name, from an Alice Cooper song, which does not apply to Duo, merely the title, because as I have ascertained, Duo tends to conceal his feelings, i.e trauma and anguish, behind an exterior of calm, or sometimes a smile.



In my own way, I have attempted to focus this site not only on Duo, but on the part of his personality that he tends to hide-in a sense, get to know the man beneath the guise, if you will-not necessarily the "real" Duo, but the part of him that is hidden from view.



Duo has hope for his future, and the future of mankind, and is quite an easygoing individual, but the hardships and sorrow of his past are a latent wound, buried and concealed, that he has yet to get over. Perhaps the real question is, who is the Man Behind the Mask? Sometimes even Duo cannot be sure.
