"Amo keeps what Amo likes. Even if it forgets."
Before the slums knew her name, before the Cleaners found her in the wasteland, there was a crooked tower and a lonely girl who talked to broken things.
When Renz, a weary scavenger trying to return home, stumbles upon her refuge, he finds warmth where there should be silence and kindness where there should be fear.
For Amo, his arrival is more than chance, it is proof that someone still sees her.
For Renz, it is one night of rest before the long road back to the walls.
But a single act of generosity, a silver gift, a few gentle words threads their worlds together in ways he cannot understand.
As the dunes shift and the tower hums, Amo's gratitude begins to blur into something else...memory, obsession, and a fragile promise that she intends to keep.
Because in a world that discards everything, Amo never lets go of what remembers her.
