On the 23rd of November, while kids were getting their daily brain blast, the government decided it was time for a change. The government spent all afternoon designing an incredibly advanced technology masterpiece that can control minds in an certain area.
It was being tested in a safe area when a man rushed in shouting about how they should destroy the mind controller before it starts working but then the mad scientist switched the masterpiece on and everything changed from posters about ambushing the government to how supportive the government was and how they should keep voting for it.
Two days after the government started controlling the entire community, a man named Raymond who was a tech savvy came to the mind controlled community for a holiday when he got suspicious because of all the campaign signs. He swore to himself that the last time he came here all the campaign signs were against the government. Since Raymond was keen for a mystery, he decided he would try to figure out why all the signs changed.
He started with asking the citizens questions about why they changed their point of view so fast. All of the people said that their point of view just suddenly changed. Raymond knew there was something fishy going on in this city so he investigated everywhere when he finally came to an advancement laboratory. He sneaked into it like a ninja and no one saw him as it was empty. Raymond dashed through the investigation room and rushed into the planning room which had all the things the mad scientist had done for the government. Raymond scanned through the blueprints of buildings and came across a level 10 technology design. It was for controlling peoples emotions so that the government would be ruler forever. Raymond finally understood why all the signs changed so fast. His heart leapt. He raced to the machine room and started deleting all the scripting for the mind controller while swiftly ripping the manual for the machine.
Fortunately, the mind controller was completely shut down before some heavily armoured guards rushed in and arrested Raymond for trespassing. Luck was on their side when Raymond was taken to the court before they figured out what he had done, making his punishment shorter. He only had to suffer in prison for 5 weeks while the community went back to thriving. In a couple days time, the corrupted government lost the vote and a new government team was picked. The new government was grateful of what Raymond had sacrificed so they freed the tech savvy before he experienced 4 days of living in jail. Everyone in the government agreed that Raymond should be given a place in the agency, so Raymond joined and became the technician for the government.
Although everything went back to normal, the mad scientist is planning something unstoppable in the shadows. Something inevitable and dangerous.

In 2147, everyone in Nova City wore a FeelGrid on their wrist. The government said it made life better—no more sadness, anger, or worry. The FeelGrid controlled your emotions. If you got too mad, it cooled you down. If you felt scared, it made you brave. It sounded perfect.
But it wasn’t.
Lwasn’tarks was 11 years old, and she hated the FeelGrid. She didn’t want to tell her how to feel; she wanted to feel things alone. But the law said every child had to wear one on their tenth birthday. Hers was silver, with tiny lights that blinked whenever she changed her emotions.
One day at school, Luna’s besLuna’snd, Milo, tripped and broke his glasses. Usually, Luna would have felt sad for him, but her FeelGrid beeped and made her feel calm instead. It wasn’t rigwasn’tlo was upset, and she was just standing there, smiling like nothing happened.
That night, Luna sat on her bed, staring at her wrist. “What if I”take it off?” she was “ered to herself. The rule was clear: Never remove your FeelGrid. But rules were meant to be broken, weren’t thweren’towly, she unlatched it.
At first, nothing happened, but then—BAM! A rush of feelings flooded her at once. She felt happy, scared, excited, nervous, even a little angry. It was overwhelming but amazing. This is what real emotions feel like!
The next day, Luna hid her FeelGrid in her pocket and acted normal. But then something strange happened. In art class, she painted a sunset, and for the first time, she felt proud alone. At lunch, she laughed so hard at Milo’s jokMilo’s tears came to her eyes—real tears.
But the government noticed. The FeelGrid system tracked everyone, and when Luna didn’t receive emotions, a red alert flashed when her teacher’s teacher arrived at school. “Luna Spar”s, you must report to the Emotion Control Center immediately.”
Luna’s “eaLuna’snded. She turned to Milo and whispered, “Run.”
The “y da” hed through the halls, past the library, out the school gates. The city felt different without the FeelGrid—colder, louder, more real.
Finally, they hid behind a giant statue of Supreme Leader Vex. “What now?” Milo asks, “d.
Luna took a deep breath. “We tell p”people. We show them what it’s like it’s again.”
Milo, the “stated, then nodded. “Let’s do “Let’sAnd so, “Luna and Milo became rebels—not with weapons, but with emotions. One by one, they helped others remove their FeelGris until the city was full of laughter, tears, and accurate, honest feelings.
The government tried to stop them, but it was too late. Nova City had woken up.
For the first time in years, people felt alive.

Prologue- 2318, 5th of January
Alina once thought that the FeelGodly wristband idea would be spectacular. But she regrets voting to have it instead of listening to her friends. Her friends had told her about the dangers of wearing it and sometimes when you took it off, you would let all your negative emotions explode out of you and you couldn’t control them anymore. She hanged her head in shame and reluctantly pushed it onto her wrist.
2325, 5th of November
Alina put her feet onto the light, high-tech flying rollerblade and whooshed away into the light, coming out of it, landing on a prestigious school’s marble floor. She saw her friends and waved over at them. They waved back and beckoned her to come. Just as she took her first step, three angry looking girls glared Alina down. They tsked at her. ” You really think you could do that to us? Threatening us to put that blasted wristband on? No, no, no. We don’t feel anything after we put them on. Our problem not ours. Now get out of our way.” They commanded at Alina, taking one last brisk glance at her and tramped away. Alina stared down at them, utter shock filling her face. It had been five years. Five years and they still grudged against her. She immediately smiled, the wristband taking over. Alina’s friends pranced over and kissed her on the cheek. “Come on darling, we need to head in. Plus, Trevor’s waiting for you…!” One of her friends said, adding a dreamy effect in her last sentence. She chuckled alongside them and rushed to a handsome boy with bright, shiny teal eyes. His hazelnut hair slicked back and his bright smile caused butterflies fluttering in Alina’s stomach. She blushed and ran to him and hugged him tightly. Trevor caught her dry, shiny tears and brushed them of her rosy cheeks. “Hey it’s going to be okay. I’ll always be here for you, I won’t let them hurt you.” He took her under his arm and they walked to their classes.
Alina and her friends ran out of school and they went to a bench and started trying to unclip the bracelet. They searched to break it but they just couldn’t. They needed something stronger than their feeble hands. They needed technology.
“Us? Us? We guess we could help but it’s only because we want to get this stupid wristband off. Not because we want to hang out or something.” The three girls grumpily said. “They’re so rude. How could you have ever been friends with them?” One of Alina’s friends whispered. The old friends glared at her and hurriedly walked away, thumping her feet on the floor. Alina and her friends hastily followed them and they sat on the bench. Finding a quiet spot, the girls made Alina stick out her hand. “I kind of was trying to see what I could do to damage the wristband. Hopefully I did something that could help you take it off in an easier way.” Alina grinned and looked at the trio, hoping for a grateful smile in return. But they completely ignored her and inspected the band instead. One of them, Lila, brought out her laptop and entered the code number another girl, Luna, had inspected for. They entered the code into an app that Alina thought it had said ‘How to Hack Into The FeelGodly’. Lila began to tap furiously at her keyboard and pulled her nimble fingers away from the keyboard. After a moment of anxious waiting, Alina’s wristwatch broke away. She felt the unique range of emotions, both negative and positive floating around her like a bird out of it’s cage. She was free. And she would do anything to stop others wearing it. She stood up in determination and determinedly cried out, “We will stop the government from this evil task. I won’t stay back anymore. Come on girls, let’s do this.”
<3 hey I did it!

Everyone’s mind was blown into shock but soon as there was a girl running to the city. People didn’t know why the girl was running but she thought city committee has already said about the government mandated device and it was very suspicious. So, she tries to find out why is it happening. At the back of her mind, she found some clues that could help her. So, she started making a plan on her board of suspicious plans and she started gathering all the clues but she was failing and she notice that in 2 hours so she started gathering new cluse until she noticed that the government mandated device was for how you were feeling at first in the morning then it will ask you how are you feeling after coming back from doing something. Then she started using the mandated device the control’s your emotion but there was one twist that means that it will be there for eternity everyone was like a robot that had a mind that was controlled by someone’s else then it was time for her to try it on her own and when she tried it was like she had tuned into a robot and all her emotions were controlled by another person. So, she tried to take it off but it didn’t work and tried so many ideas but only one idea worked it was to go to the government and let him take it off for her and it worked perfectly.
