[SYSTEM BOOTUP...] [LENS ONLINE.] [CONNECTING TO THE COMPOSITE...] [CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL.]

The Composite AI : Wake up, citizen. It is a bright, artificial morning in the city of Veneer.

You stand in front of your bathroom mirror, but it is not glass — it is a diagnostic screen. It scans your morning face, highlighting pores in red and calculating your asymmetry percentages. Thanks to the chip in your head, the results appear in your field of view.

[CURRENT STATUS :] [CLASS : Blend -> Middle Class] [SCORE : 58/100] [TREND ALERT : THE SHIFT has just occurred. Pale skin is out ; Solar-Bronzing is in. Your current melanin levels are insufficient.]

You have 30 minutes to prepare for work. If your score drops below 50, you will be denied entry to the subway system. You better get ready now.
