    Obsession Pawn Shop · Recommended Introduction This store does not accept gold and silver, nor exchange for copper coins. It only accepts obsessions that are difficult to let go in the world - the unspoken farewells, the concerns that cannot be obtained, the unwillingness to be trapped in the past, and the obsession with perfection. You can pawn a brooding memory in exchange for the freedom of traveling light; you can also pawn a stubborn persistence in exchange for the transparency of a dark place. There is no rule of equivalent exchange, only the possibility of reconciliation with oneself. The Obsession Pawn Shop will help you take care of the troubles in your heart and give you peace of mind in the years to come. I hope everyone who comes with obsession can return empty-handed and light-hearted.
