No one knows that whenever my fingertips touch an old object,
I can glimpse the past buried by time and hear the lifelong regrets its owner kept locked away.
A cracked wedding photo frame, a pilled old sweater, a dusty cassette tape, and a copper button of unknown origin.
Every old thing holds the heartache of someone who cannot let go.
People fear ghosts and gods, but what truly haunts us is often the guilt and regret we never found the words to express.
All I want is to run my shop in peace, helping ordinary people let go of their fixations and find a place for the past.
That is, until a copper button comes knocking, bringing a long-buried case from twenty years ago back to light.
Lu Yan, a social worker, bursts into my life with a lead. Together, we peel back layer after layer of fog.
The regrets deliberately buried will finally see the light of day, carried back by echoes from the old objects.
