Truth Comes Out

''It was me the whole time. ...Wait.''

When the real nature of a situation is revealed. The power of this UnTrash can range from a slight shock to a shock from a lightning bolt. If strong enough, the Truth Coming Out can flip the entire story on its head and make the audience rethink how the perceive it, or it could answer a bevy of questions at once. When the Truth Comes Out, it's most often to the audience and characters at the same time, but this isn't always the case. If the audience receives the news first, then a sense of dramatic irony is created as the audience knows something the characters do not. If it's the other way around, then it's up to the audience to put the pieces together and find out what's going on by themselves.

Some roles, such as the Deceiver and Two-Facer, rely on secrecy to get their job done. While the characters who fulfill these roles will vary in effectiveness, the general pattern is the Truth Comes Out about who they really are later in or by the end of the story. The audience and characters might have their suspicions about the Suspect, but nothing can be said for sure until it's told that the Suspect was in fact a Twist or Shock Villain. If the creators want to go a step further, they will have the Suspect really be innocent as a series of coincidental events set them up to be an antagonist or the Suspect was framed by the true Villain.
