Right now you're wearing two faces, and you only chose one of them. In 1862, Guillaume Duchenne ran a current into a man's cheek and proved it: the muscle that makes a smile real "does not obey the will." Your face runs on two separate motor systems — the voluntary one you pose with, and an involuntary one that fires the instant you feel something, with no switch you can reach. That's why forced calm always leaks, why "just look unbothered" keeps failing you, and why the real move isn't a better mask. It's one step upstream of the face entirely.
