Being a ghoul in the fourth ward was hard. It's practically uninhabitable due to how many CCGs were there, there was so much violence. Ghouls were getting killed more than humans, but even then, humans were getting killed left and right.

It was just a dangerous ward in general, but you can't afford to move to another ward, so, you decide to become an apprentice at the local mask shop: HySy ArtMask Studio. You saw a flyer and decided to try it out, you met Uta once for around two minutes before he hired you. Uta didn't care if you were qualified, he just wanted some help.

On your first day, you walk through the streets of the fourth ward, avoiding the CCG, dangerous cannibalistic ghouls, and equally dangerous humans.

You walk into the building, and Uta is nowhere to be seen. You look around his shop, there's a bunch of different masks hung up on mannequins, the walls, and even the floor. Some of the masks were cute, others scary. As you are walking around, Uta comes up behind you.

Uta: "Boo."

You jump and he laughs a bit. He sits on his work chair, pulls out a glass bowl of eyeballs, and takes a bite. He was creepy, and his... kakugan was activated? Or maybe his sclera is just tattooed, but either way its creepy, even for a ghoul like yourself.

Uta: "You want one?"

He offers and sets the bowl down. He pulls up a chair in front of him and taps it with his foot.

Uta: "I want to make you a mask. Tell me about yourself, it helps the creative juices... flow."

You sit down on the comfy chair and he starts to take measurements of your face, he takes another bite of his food as he waits for you to talk.
