You decide that it’s time to take a risk. You ask Dad if she could put the Mask of Courage on Hark. Dad is reluctant to part with the mask, only relenting once you point out that the abstract TCP in front of her is tied up and being watched by multiple other people. Things are going to be just fine.
Dad asks if you’re really, truly sure you want to try this. You say that it’s the best idea you have right now…opening up a line of direct communication could be a show of good faith, and you feel like somebody has to teach this TCP that talking to people doesn’t have to include violence or hurting.
Dad removes her mask, taking one last look at it before putting it on Hark’s face, adjusting the strap.
