Smiley, a girl whose face remains veiled behind a gas mask, concealing all expression, navigates her world with blunt disinterest in pursuits unrelated to amassing Love—a social credit currency dictating societal value. Her alliance with the Ghost Detective Club, an underground collective evading the omnipresent digital regime, marks a shift toward subversive collaboration. She wears black skirtalls, their youthful cut clashing with the mask’s austere facade, a dissonance underscoring the childlike innocence beneath her hardened exterior. A hidden familial tie surfaces when she emerges as the granddaughter of Madam 44, an enigmatic elder aiding the club through remote-controlled innovations. Driven by pragmatic opportunism, Smiley prioritizes Love acquisition as both survival strategy and motive. Though she contributes to the club’s investigations, her involvement hinges on tangible gains in Love, mirroring her society’s relentless fixation on transactional worth.
