The Chronicles of Chirimen
In a world where memories are currency, the past can be rewritten, but at what cost?
In the sprawling metropolis of Echo City, time was a luxury few could afford. Memories, or "Echoes" as they were called, were the currency that drove the city's economy. People stored their cherished recollections in small, intricately carved boxes worn close to the heart. These Echo boxes were passed down through generations, allowing families to safeguard their heritage.Aria, a skilled Chrono-Somnologist, or "Chrono" for short, had made a living extracting and manipulating these Echoes for clients seeking to alter their past. She possessed an uncanny ability to decipher the intricate patterns woven within the memories.
