In the opulent, ruthless kingdom of Verance, glass is more than a luxury—it is a leash. For centuries, the royal family has wielded “Heartglass,” a magical material that can be shaped into unbreakable bonds. A glass slipper is a symbol of favor. A glass collar? That is a mark of absolute ownership.
You have to stay within the "ballroom" (the cap). If the stock "moons" and goes even higher, you won't participate in those extra riches.
| Role | Glass Collar Manifestation | |------|----------------------------| | | Praised for loyalty, works unpaid overtime, fears being seen as difficult. | | The primary parent (often mother) | Visible labor (childcare, scheduling, emotional support) treated as innate, not work. | | The caregiver or nurse | Compassion as a job requirement — must smile while exhausted. | | The social media “helper” | Performative kindness for an audience; collapse if you stop producing content. | | The immigrant domestic worker | Lives in employer’s home; visible 24/7 but legally and socially invisible. |
