After winning her first game, Sandra’s tattoos started to change and fade. A thin, twisting figure that faded and faded, into the negative of a snake. Her tattoos begin to fade and whiten in places. It wraps around her arm, looping through where thumb meets index, the head resting in her palm near the corner of the cross. While she is healing others, the black outlines of the snake change from black, slowly shifting to a blood red.

Leon's senses are evolving in unexpected ways, the offerings he'd once received to gift unto Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Inari turn to ash in his hands now when he receives them at the end of his jobs. Cruel laughter echoes in his mind as if to inform him that he no longer has the luxury of the shelter provided by the divine, and as this newest evolution begins, Leon feels something wrong begins to occur. His illusory self began manifesting his authentic self, supplanting itself over his desired imaginary identity. It was all Leon could do to contain it conditionally into the fox mask he had worn as a mockery of others. A presentation of the authentic self as a mask over the false self. Now, it exists as a mockery of the self, a mirror reflecting a twisted shadow. A reflection that he could no longer deny as the shadows with his face drew closer in his dreams. Trapped now in his new reality, it is cruel that he can no longer close his eyes and shut out the truth. The screaming will not be silenced; the smell of her blood will never leave his senses. He can no longer hide behind closed eyes or ignore the festering rot he feels inside. All he can do is don the mask.
