Story
The Price of Truth. The Crystal Mask
In the city of Lumina, everything glittered. The facades were polished mirrors, the faces flawless, the words measured like expensive perfumes. There, truth wasn't a virtue: it was a threat.
Each citizen wore a Crystal Mask, a technology that projected the ideal version of themselves. It didn't show who you were, but who you were meant to look like. Emotions were filtered, thoughts were edited, and memories were rewritten in real time. Authenticity was considered a disease: "Naked Syndrome."
Among them lived Elaia, a restorer of ancient art. Her job was to erase cracks from sculptures, polishing paintings until they looked newborn. But in secret, Elaia collected broken fragments: cracked faces, torn canvases, forgotten truths. Her workshop was a sanctuary of imperfections.
One night, Elaia found a manuscript hidden in the frame of an antique mirror. She said:
"The truth doesn't beautify, but it liberates. Whoever speaks it, let them be willing to lose everything."
Moved by a force she didn't understand, Elaia decided to remove the Crystal Mask in the middle of Echo Square, where everyone gathered to project their most admirable selves. Her real face appeared: dark circles, scars, a gaze that didn't ask for approval.
The silence was absolute. Then, the system reacted. Elaia was marked as "Distortion." Her image was erased from the archives, her networks blocked, her name turned into noise. But something unexpected happened: a girl removed her mask. Then an old man. Then a famous singer. Echo Square was filled with real faces, tears, awkward laughter, and looks that couldn't lie.
Elaia disappeared that night. Some say she was exiled. Others, that she became a legend. On the city walls, someone painted his face with the phrase:
"The truth is hard, but it's worth more than any mask."
