Smiles Society Observation

Submission Date: Arcadian Calendar ████████ Draft Summary: Pre-review of the script for the commentary program "Tidings of Arcadia," Issue ███ Main Text: "Healing Smiles, Healing Arcadia" I trust that those in the arcadia, especially our audience in Dovebrook, have heard this slogan to some extent. Yes, this is the promotional motto of that recently emerging group, the "Research Society of Happy Smiles." To the society members, the Smiles Society and its founder, Fulwish, are undoubtedly synonymous with "goodness." "Soothe all pain, and make everyone happy"... If the rumors are true and joining the Smiles Society really brings such benefits, how could the residents in the arcadia, already indifferent from the endless flood of information, not be tempted? And that is the topic of our discussion today: Just what kind of organization is the Smiles Society? And can it truly bring people the happiness they imagine? ... "I'm kinda scared of them. They give me the creeps." "It's a nice place, and everyone's super friendly. Wanna join?" "I don't know. I'm just here for fun." Faced with these questions, the staff at the Smiles Society gave our reporter a warm welcome and provided us with some information. Interview Record ██-██-██ Reporter: "So, regardless of species or wealth, you accept all residents who are suffering and try to heal their trauma, is that correct?" Smiles Society Member: "Yes. Furthermore, there are absolutely no processing fees to join, nor do we sell any products. After all, we operate more like a charity at our core. We wouldn't do things like extract profit from our members like some commercial group." Reporter: "Are there cases where an initiate has suffered trauma so severe that you don't know where to begin?" Smiles Society Member: "It happens often. In those cases, we arrange for them to undergo further treatment." Reporter: "And by 'further treatment,' you mean...?" Smiles Society Member: "It's somewhat like minimally invasive surgery. We have methods to materialize the pain stored within the body and excise it. This way, the perception of that pain is eliminated at the source." Reporter: "Surgery? But regarding your qualifications..." Smiles Society Member: "Please, don't worry. To date, about seventy percent of our members have undergone this procedure. Without exception, they've all found a long-lost peace, and their lives have returned to normal. Some can even hear Aha's voice ringing in their minds. For the residents of the arcadia, there is nothing more wonderful than that." Our reporter also paid a visit to a nearby arcadia resident who had been deeply discouraged following an accident. He recently underwent the Happiness Surgery. Unfortunately, he seemed a bit too busy to grant us an interview. He merely expressed his approval of the surgery and his life afterward, but he did agree to let us ask his neighbor about his current situation. Interview Record ██-██-██ Reporter: "We're here to interview the neighbors of that very member. We heard that ██ recently joined the Smiles Society. Do you know how he's been doing lately?" Neighbor A: "Well, at least he isn't pulling a long face like before. I guess that's a good thing?" Neighbor B: "That *profanity*! Every day he acts like he's transcended the mortal coil or something, with only a silly laugh on his face. The other day, I couldn't stand it and yelled at him, and he actually said, 'Thank you for your consideration, I truly am a happy man.' Ugh, gave me goosebumps!" Neighbor A: "What, you'd prefer he go back to sighing all day and acting like he's on death's door?" Neighbor B: "That's still better than looking like... whatever he is now. The point is, none of his actual problems have been solved, have they?" ... Many people have received tangible help from the Smiles Society and are deeply grateful for it. There is no doubt that the Society's original intention, to bring hope and good will to the people, is irreplaceable. On the other hand, regarding their medical qualifications... although the staff offered no further explanation, we can infer that the treatments they promote are not as simple as we imagined. And finally, through these voices, we hope to inspire further reflection among our viewers: If suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, then does the simple act of peeling away pain not also deny our very integrity as people? Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Tidings of Arcadia. Catch you next time! ---The End--- Review Conclusion: Rejected Reviewer's Note: The entire manuscript's wording is too radical, full of gloomy, decadent individualism that is likely to alienate our audience. After careful evaluation, we have decided to suspend the broadcast for the time being. Future plans for this program will be arranged separately. Additionally, editors and reporters are encouraged to participate more frequently in internal team building activities. Share your feelings with everyone, discuss current events of greater value, and strive to increase your personal happiness.
