Ocean X answered Ocean X's question: What inspired the intense emotional tone in Between Masks? Between Masks was born from the quiet tension between two people who’ve wanted each other for years but never had the chance—or the courage—to say it. It’s a story about restraint, longing, and the moment everything finally breaks open.
