The Fragility of Identity
Identity is a mutable and fragile construct, constantly threatened by possession, dehumanization, and systemic control. Characters struggle to preserve or reclaim their sense of self when authenticity is erased or weaponized. The horror of losing one's identity—whether through psychic fragmentation, forced conformity, or reduction to a tool—is a central struggle, and reclamation requires active defiance and courage.
