The Things We Collect

SOME THINGS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE REMEMBERED.

Hana Mori has always believed that every forgotten object holds a story.

A letter. A photograph. A music box left behind by someone who never came back.

But when she discovers a music box bearing her own name, she finds a photograph of two little girls-and a message that awakens a memory she cannot explain.

You promised to remember.

Seven years ago, a girl named Rina disappeared.

No one remembers her the way Hana does. Her mother refuses to speak of her. Old photographs contradict one another. And somewhere behind a locked door, a collection of forgotten belongings holds secrets that should have stayed buried.

As Hana searches for the truth, she begins to uncover something far more disturbing than a disappearance.

Her family has been collecting more than objects.

They have been collecting memories, names, and pieces of people's lives preserving some truths while burying others.

And Hana's own past may be the most carefully guarded secret of all.

Some memories are lost. Some are stolen. And some are kept alive for a reason.

Because the most frightening thing about the past isn't what you have forgotten.

It's what someone has made you remember.
