A Harmonious Echo

Both 'Everyone in This Bank Is a Thief' and 'Flesh' offer a surprisingly aligned exploration of human fallibility and the fractured narratives we construct, revealing a shared undercurrent of suspicion and the inherent unreliability of perspective. You've gravitated towards narratives that, despite their different settings, dissect the masks people wear and the compromised truths they uphold, suggesting a keen interest in the messy, often disingenuous, architecture of social interaction.
