I have been invited over for dinner, of all things. Should I accept and go or decline the offer politely? After the kidnapping, I have become even more cautious about going out into public. And it does not matter if I am in my life-like mask or at night, when no one is out and about.
Occasionally I will still take walks or go for a ride on my favorite equine, Nightstar, in the woods surrounding my estate. Of course, that is when I am not busy with my studies, writings, or my most recent venture, music recordings. Already I have had several offers for contracts, but I have turned many of them down. The reason? Because many of these I turned down would have required my presence physically, and that is something I absolutely refuse to do. Others, because they would have complete control of my life—a thing that frightens and disturbs me all the way to my ancient soul. Another reason is because of the perks and freedoms that would come with the "contract".
I have never performed in public, nor appeared for publicity shots. And, if I have it my way, there never will be any. You may call me a recluse, but if you had my face and body, I highly doubt you would want to be thrust into society's prying greedy eyes.
