In an alley in the old city that is about to be demolished, the door sign reads "Shiguang Pawn Shop", and only "those in need" can find it.
The pawn can be a specific memory (first love, trauma, secret...) Or a certain type of memory (pain, guilt, someone).
The price is evaluated by the 'shopkeeper'. The more precious and critical the memory, the higher the price.
Pawn memories can be redeemed, but the redemption price is always three times the pawn price. The longer the time, the higher the interest rate.
After the memory is taken away, the brain will automatically fill in the logical gaps, and the person concerned will only feel that "the memory of that period cannot be remembered clearly" and will not feel anything abnormal.
Memories are sealed in "rosary beads" similar to glass beads. Each bead corresponds to a memory and is stored according to the date of pawn.
