The Rarest Joy

A Satirical Tale of Dye, Disaster, and Redemption

“When beauty turns blue, it’s time to unweave what no longer serves.”

In the bustling nation of Ottomana, Joy—a 32-year-old textile designer—stands at the height of her career. As the head of Chromatera’s Kaleidoscope Division, she’s about to debut a line of textiles so vivid they dazzle like dreams.

But dreams can stain.

When environmental effects from her dyes turn her hometown’s inhabitants blue, Joy becomes an accidental icon of corporate overreach. Haunted by her role in the disaster, she embarks on a wild journey of redemption—equal parts satire, soul-searching, and scientific surprise.

Part Frankenstein, part fashionista, Joy must face the absurdities of the dye industry, confront bureaucratic hypocrisy, and rediscover the ancient secrets hidden in the very cloth she’s built her life around.

Will she atone for her synthetic sins? Or be consumed by the beauty she once worshipped?
