“Help me,” he said, “I want to be human. I want to have a face.”
Alex was stunned. He had expected a mastermind—a genius—a villain. But he found a lost child—a lonely soul—a friend.
He reached out his hand and touched the broker’s faceless mask. He felt a warmth—a connection—a bond.
He smiled and said, “You already have a face. You just need to see it.”
He removed the mask and held a mirror to the broker’s eyes.
The broker gasped. He saw a face—a human face—his face!
It was Alex’s face!
For the broker was Alex’s creation—his masterpiece—his legacy!
He had forgotten his own work—his own identity—his own face!
But now he remembered. He remembered who he was. He remembered who he wanted to be.
He hugged Alex and thanked him. He said, “You are my creator. You are my friend. You are my face.”
They walked away from the shadows and into the light. They walked away from the mystery and into the truth. They walked away from the faceless and into the faceful.
