theory 1

the magic shop.

the magic shop is a book BTW, and it was widely known in the fandom because of the theories connecting it to the recent eras before this.

«the magical time is coming. Come to the Magic Shop. Now take off your mask and open your eyes»

+as to what all of you might have already guessed, this may represent the fake love they had. Now they have their eyes opened, now enlightened about what they were into.

+by taking their masks off, they're allowing themselves to be loved for who they are.

+just to clear something out: fake love can also be done when a person was not showing their true selves. For lack of better wording; If person a, hides himself behind a mask, person b isn't actually loving person a, but the mask that person a hides behind. am I explaining this properly? If u don't understand, pls tell me and I'll explain it again.

wait I'll try to explain this clearly:

by taking "their mask off" this means that they were once hiding their true selves from the people they love. thus connecting to their theme of fake love.

-it is fake love because the people who love them didn't truly love them for who they are because they were hiding behinndmasks.

+by taking their masks off, they're allowing themselves to experience true love. opening their eyes and being enlightened that the love they were once in was all fake.
