This project mainly tells the story of a girl who fainted from exhaustion while working on her design. She then dreams of entering a forest where strange masks chase and scare her. When she sees a cave ahead, she instinctively thinks it would be a good place to escape the masks, only to find that this is where the real horror lies. The masks change their performances, zombies appear, and there are inexplicable bloodstains on her hands. The girl has not actually woken up from the dream; her soul remains trapped in her real home. The only true freedom is represented by her imagined perfect self dancing on the roof of the house. The purpose of creating such a story is to explore the embodiment of perfectionism and surrounding pressure through the format of a horror animated.
