All mortals tend to turn into the things they are pretending to be.

We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be.

Anthropomorphic animals, when taken out of narrative into actual visibility, always turn into buffoonery or nightmare.

Some people act like they're cool, / And others act like they're hot, / But both are trying to fool / The people who know that they're not.
