# Awareness

Awareness explains who knows about the relationship or understands its true nature. Use it when the story truth and the characters' understanding are not the same.

This is useful for hidden family ties, concealed affairs, undercover roles, mistaken identities, secret hostility or relationships the reader does not yet understand.
