Let your face betray no emotion. Even when you're positive no one is watching, someone is. Those who observe your actions for any possible clues to substantiate what they suspect. Everything is an eye; the streetlights observe you with an unblinking gaze, buttons and snaps seem innocous but conceal hidden cameras. Insect-sized cameras with mechanical wings dominate the sky. Nothing on your face is hidden. Don't flinch when they hold hands. Don't wince when they smile. Let not your face betray you, for they are watching. You have no emotion; the mask you wear saves your life.
