Tinted glasses begin as a rigid, almost ceremonial marker of Sextus rank in The Will of the Many, their dark lenses serving to erase individuality and emphasize hierarchy. Across later volumes, the glasses evolve from mere status symbols into tools of concealment, rebellion, and even intimacy, their meaning shifting as characters subvert or weaponize the very system they once upheld. By the final books, the glasses are no longer simply worn—they are removed, shattered, or repurposed, signaling the collapse of the old order and the birth of new identities.
