Leo's True Colors

create a story with anime as the art style. Elias spent years tailoring his soul to fit the expectations of others, driven by a nagging fear that his true self wasn't enough. He became a master of the "social mask," nodding when he disagreed and abandoning his passions just to blend in, until his life felt like a performance for an audience that never left. One day, he looked in the mirror and realized he didn't recognize the tired eyes staring back; he had become a stranger to himself in the pursuit of being liked by everyone else. However, in that moment of emptiness, he found a spark of courage to stop performing. He learned that his value wasn't found in a perfect reputation, but in the simple, honest act of being himself, discovering that the right people would love him for his truth rather than his act.
