Ruth smiled at the mirror every single morning.
Not because she was vain…
Not because she was crazy…
But because in the future world she lived in, everyone’s social score appeared right in their eyes — thanks to electronic contact lenses implanted at birth.
Your smile?
Your posture?
Your tone?
Everything affected your rating.
And Ruth? She needed to hit 4.7 today to keep her job.
One bad frown could cost her everything.
So she smiled…
Even when she was falling apart inside.
But one day… Ruth stopped smiling — and what happened next turned the entire system upside down.
