Yet the mother has meticulously stored these lost memories in a secret box, turning them into fragile crystals. With family and even the island itself erasing itself, the protagonist faces the imminent loss of another precious thing. In a world where everything feels doomed to vanish, only those who safeguard the crystal of secrets can hope to move forward.
