How do I say
Its all just a play

Masks surround
Mocking stare

A parting shot

| Masuma

A parting shot or Parthian shot is a final cutting remark or severe glance of disapproval, given by one person to another as they part an argument or meeting. The timing is such that it leaves one’s opponent or rival no time in which to reply or react.
