Solid black mask, cracked in two — "I built these walls to be strong... the mask I wear is there for you, so you don't see the truth." A faint face profile engraved into the black (left cheek, barely visible unless you look close) — "the internal demons inside of me... the only one who has ever seen them." A tiny crown nested right in the crack opening — "I love you forever, my queen." Easy to miss at a glance, unmistakable once you see it. The flame breaking through the crack — the "real man behind the mask," the vulnerability Amber alone gets to see. Cupped hands/vessel cradling the flame's base — "you make me feel safe... I know now what it's like to be held and loved unconditionally."
