Observation
Behold this circle of life, we find ourselves in a peculiar dance: having conquered nature, we now yearn to return to our primal state. The masks we wear grow more sophisticated, but underneath, we're still searching for the same things our ancestors sought: connection, acceptance, and a good branch to hang from. Look deeper into these waters, young seeker. Do you see your true face, or just another mask? The reflection shows not what you are, but what you've always been. Asante sana, squash banana.

- The past can hurt, but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.
- The question is who… are you?
