sunglasses
A device that, under the pretext of blocking sunlight, shields others' gaze while concealing one's own capricious expressions with dark lenses. As a fashion item it grants status, sacrificing the freedom of sight yet demanding one endure the terror of dimmed vision. Under bright skies it bestows a cool impression, but indoors produces the side effect of suspicion: "What is he hiding?" Often used as part of self-presentation, its true motive is the pure fear of being seen.
