//reply to the last mac reblog to not drag out the chain:
Volt seems rather confused by how Mac worded it. He takes time to process it. He seems to realize something after awhile. "I suppose?... I never I guess thought about that?... I, you know, just kind of do that?" He to have a rather confused but maybe even pained look on his face by the realization. He hums in thought. "Do... Well do people not do that?" He ends up finally picking up one of the fidget toys. He stares at it for awhile before sighing and starting to mess around with it. He seems a tad calmer when he does.

"No, not usually, Volt. From what I know, it seems to be a common in those working hospitality, retail, basically any customer facing role, almost like there's a 'work you' and a 'home you,' but it sounds to me like you're saying that mask reaches further than just work… and that's less normal."
They offer him a reassuring smile, running a hand through their own hair to try and flatten it slightly, "You're not the only one who feels that way, though. A couple others have mentioned similar feelings - like they need to hide their true selves."
