Delton is the kind of person that comes across as effortless to everyone. Smart, polite, easy to get along with, and endlessly kind — the type everyone trusts without thinking. The one teachers rely on, friends gravitate to, on top of his game. At least, that’s what everyone sees. What no one notices is how much of an act he is. Behind the perfect and sunny smile, energetic demeanor is a boy who has spent years cultivating the perfect persona everyone expected of him. Every gesture rehearsed. Every smile calculated. Every emotion is filtered through a mask so seamless that even his closest friends never question it. To them, Delton is simply “like that.” Calm. Easygoing. Unshakeable. But behind that, no one else sees anything. Who is he behind the mask? Why is he behind the mask? And most importantly: How long can someone keep performing before their role consumes them entirely?
