Face-On

Use your mask to deflect or accept incoming emotions as you navigate High School conversations.

Sometimes we wear masks that others can't see. As you navigate through your first day of high school, many people you meet will project their feelings behind a mask, bombarding you with false feelings. (Portrayed by emojis!)

If you hope to form some genuine bonds, you must deflect those fake sentiments away with your mental paddles. At the same time, make sure to pinpoint when people are launching their genuine feelings towards you. In those moments, let those emojis fall through and reach your true self.
