---

The shopping center glows white and gold.

---

Too bright.

Too clean.

---

Screens everywhere.

---

Music everywhere.

---

“Why does this place feel weird?” Mara asks quietly.

---

Chibi looks up at the giant advertisements covering the walls.

---

“Because it wants something.”

---

A massive screen flickers above the crowd:

BE WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

---

Beautiful people smile down from polished glass.

---

Perfect clothes.

Perfect homes.

Perfect lives.

---

Mara watches carefully.

---

“…nobody looks like that.”

---

“Nope.”

---

Another ad appears immediately.

---

Luxury condos.

Private schools.

Fitness programs.

Better futures.

---

Everything glowing.

Everything polished.

---

A little girl nearby starts crying softly.

---

Her light-up shoes flicker weakly as the batteries die.

---

Her mother kneels immediately.

---

“We’ll get new ones soon, okay?”

---

The girl looks terrified.

---

Not sad.

---

Terrified.

---

“…it’s just shoes,” Mara whispers.

---

“No.”

---

Chibi points at the screens.

---

“They told her it’s more than shoes.”

---

The crowd keeps moving around them.

---

Buying.

Watching.

Wanting.

---

A giant digital wall lights up again:

LIVE BETTER
WORK SMARTER
BECOME MORE

---

The words pulse softly across polished glass.

---

Mara looks around at the tired parents and glowing advertisements.

---

“…it feels hungry.”

---

Chibi nods slowly.

---

“Yeah.”

---

A pause.

---

“But not for food.”

---

A janitor silently wipes fingerprints from the glass beneath the screens.

---

Nobody notices him.

---

The advertisements continue glowing above his head.

---

Perfect.

Untouchable.

---

Mara watches him work.

---

“…does he even see them anymore?”

---

Chibi stares at the man for a long moment.

---

Then quietly:

---

“I think he’s part of them now.”

🜍 HOUSE OF GLASS — WEEK 2

The city does not only sell products.

---

It sells identity.
Worth.
Dreams.

---

And eventually—

people stop asking
who they were
before the city told them
what to become.

---

🜍 One theme. One month. One descent.
🜍 House of Glass. Hunger. Collapse.

---

If you remember what this felt like —
you already know what you’re missing.

Step back into it.
Or keep missing it.

Then don’t stop at the surface.

The full stories. The dossiers. The things behind it —
they’re waiting. Or they’re not.
