Please Applaud Death

When sadness becomes a parameter that needs to be optimized, when tears are defined as inefficient waste—— A "clown" wearing oil-stained overalls decided to build a stage for those wiped tears that would not be demolished. In the city of Aurora, even the rain has been accurately calculated by the "Truth Host", and even the sadness has been optimized to the optimal threshold. Silence, a third-level troubleshooter whose nameplate has been whitened, is a non-threatening low-level consumable during the day, but at night he is the most dangerous "performer" in the city. He used the most un-machine gesture to applaud the deaths that had been erased by the system; he used the most absurd way to fight against a world where even tears are counted. When Lilian, a 16-year-old female textile worker, "spontaneously combusted" at her job, and the official notice stated that her "emotional fluctuations exceeded limits," Silence found an "emotional suppression ring" that had been adjusted to 120% on her blackened wrist. This was not an accident, nor was it a suicide. This is the truth about a sixteen-year-old girl who was treated as a "human lump of coal" and squeezed out of her last usefulness when it hurt the most. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. The mysterious patterns on the gears, the core code of the truth host, the memories that were deliberately erased... Silence gradually discovered that behind Lilian's death, there was a secret hidden that could subvert the entire city of Aurora. "In this city, tears and sympathy are the most useless - it neither lubricates the gears nor allows the host to calculate 0.01% More efficiency." "But only 'untimely tenderness', only 'empathy that shouldn't exist' can make a crack appear in this cold machine.
