You could be so pretty

In Belle and Joni’s world there are two options for girls: One, follow the rules of the Doctrine like Belle: apply your Mask, work hard to be crowned at the Ceremony, be a Pretty. Or two, fight the rules like Joni: leave your face bare, work hard to escape to the Education, be an Objectionable. But maybe there is a third option. If Belle and Joni work together, can they destroy the rules and set themselves free?

But maybe there is a third option…
Change the rules. Reclaim your power. If you can…
