The Monster in a Mask
The Monster in a Mask stands by the wall,
The Host suspects, but doesn't know. She just goes inside.
The Monster in a Mask goes with her.
The Host suspects, but doesn't know. She just goes through the hall.
The Monster in a Mask leads her.
The Host suspects, but plays along. She thinks they are friends.
The Monster in a Mask fools her.
The Host suspects, but obeys commands. She goes up the stairs, to the vanity.
The Monster in a Mask shows her.
The Host knows, and she falls dead.
She is the mask.
