Storia
Paper Mask follows the story of an unnamed hospital orderly who seizes an opportunity to improve his social standing when a recently deceased doctor shares the same name as him. He assumes the dead man's identity and begins working in the busy emergency room of their small hospital, where he quickly befriends a nurse named Sally. As time passes, Sally starts to suspect that something is amiss with the new doctor, slowly figuring out his secret. Despite this revelation, she chooses to help maintain his charade.
