#Lyney: Spectacle of Phantasmagoria
Celebrated Magician of the Court of Fontaine
Magic is a lie. Nothing but evasion, deception, and trickery.
Even a single illusion requires a series of lies to pull off. To put on a whole magic show, you must win the audience's trust by weaving a seamless facade of ruses and ploys.
Props, lighting, assistants, planning... the stage is set through the help of countless aids, both onstage and off. A magician's performance rests upon so much painstaking effort, yet is also weighed down by the burden of expectation.
As such, a magician's design must be absolutely airtight, and his execution without flaw — even a single slip-up could ruin everything. He must not let his "family" down...
"...The magician's lies must not be exposed."
The first time Lyney stepped onto the stage, he had a mission on his mind as he stood there behind the curtain, muttering "Father's" words under his breath.
"Lyney..." said Lynette as she squeezed her brother's palm unconsciously.
The curtain slowly began to rise, marking the start of their performance. Lyney raised up Lynette's arm and gazed back at her with a determined look in his eyes.
"I'll be alright — because as always, Lynette's by my side."
