I was asked not to long ago if Ari ever removes his mask well id like to elaborate a little more on that.

Ari's mask is a family heirloom passed down to him from his grandfather (parents died when he was young) even as a child he preferred to keep it on since it was the first present he received from his grandfather since his mother and father dies he would always tell Ari that as long as he had the mask he could do amazing and wonderful things ,once his grandfather passed away he vowed to never take it off, because he believes when he wears it he can still feel his grandfathers presence, which make him feel invincible.

fun fact: Ari's favorite drink is honey bush tea, since his grandfather was addicted to the stuff, he would go to the boardwalk on the outskirts of town to buy some from a vendor that sells it.
