Where Rebellion Hides Beneath Painted Faces
Based on the Coup card game, Masks of the Night (夜の仮面) tells of a whispered rebellion unfolding in a palace where masks speak louder than truth. Two voices move like light and shadow through halls thick with secrets, weaving a tale of loyalty betrayed and love disguised as survival. In the quiet between deception and desire, the night reveals who remains when the crowns fall.
This Japanese version is the song’s original form—Velvet Abyss at their most atmospheric, blurring fear with intimacy as the Court collapses under its own lies. Here, rebellion is not loud; it breathes slowly through half-spoken warnings, trembling steps, and stolen glances. Every oath becomes a wound, every secret sharpens the dark.
It is a story of those who stayed soft in a kingdom built on steel.
Featured Persona: Velvet Abyss
Velvet Abyss embodies the central emotional voice of the Court—fragile yet unyielding, aching yet poised. In this version, their dual vocals move like mirrored masks: one voice carrying the confession, the other carrying the warning. Together, they create the quiet tension that defines the Court’s final hours.
- Role Interpreted: The Mask / The Witness of Rebellion
- Tone: Whispered, intimate, bittersweet
- Dynamic: Two perspectives circling the same truth—love and betrayal intertwined
This track sets the emotional foundation for both language versions, anchoring the Court in its most vulnerable moment.
