Hello SciFi Multiverse 🌌
The masks that choose you are not made of cloth or metal.
They are systems, expectations, and invisible rules that decide which version of a person is allowed to appear.
In worlds like this, identity becomes conditional.
A mask activates when a person enters a public space, logs into a network, or interacts with authority.
It adjusts tone, expression, and even thought patterns to match what is deemed acceptable.
Compliance feels automatic. Dissent feels like static.
These masks don’t hide the face. They replace it.
The original self doesn’t vanish, but it gets buried under layers of pre-approved behavior.
Over time, people stop noticing the difference between who they are and who the mask allows them to be.
The danger isn’t just loss of individuality.
It’s that society starts to believe the mask is the real person.
Empathy fades because no one sees raw emotion.
Conflict disappears because no one is allowed to disagree openly.
Peace becomes uniformity, and uniformity becomes control.
Yet the masks can’t erase everything.
Small glitches happen: a slip in language, an unfiltered reaction, a dream that doesn’t conform.
Those moments are treated as errors by the system, but as reminders by the people who experience them.
The masks that choose you promise safety, order, and efficiency.
The cost is the right to be inconsistent, messy, and human without permission.
So here's my Question:
If a mask could choose your expression for you, what part of yourself would it suppress first?
