In a dystopian bazaar that exists outside time, people trade memories like currency. You can sell your happiest moment to buy a skill, or auction off your heartbreak to erase someone else's. But the more memories you lose, the more your identity fractures-and some traders aren't even human anymore.

Chaotic Structure:

Each chapter is written from a different memory's point of view.

Time jumps erratically-sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes sideways.

Characters forget who they are mid-scene and start behaving like someone else.

The narrative is interrupted by "memory glitches"-pages with corrupted text, missing words, or surreal imagery.

The climax is a bidding war where the protagonist tries to buy back their childhood, but someone else already owns it.

Main Character: A girl named Kira, who wakes up with no memories and a receipt for something she doesn't remember buying. She's determined to find out what she sold-and why it was worth everything

And Aarav,
Role: The Memory Broker Backstory: Aarav was once a neuroscientist who tried to cure his sister's amnesia by experimenting with memory transference. When the experiments went wrong, he lost his own memories and became a broker in the Bazaar-trading fragments of identity for survival. He now wears a mask made of old receipts and speaks in half-remembered proverbs.

Personality:

Mysterious, philosophical, and emotionally guarded

Speaks in riddles and metaphors, but occasionally breaks into raw vulnerability

Has a soft spot for Kira, though he pretends it's just business

Conflict: He holds the key to Kira's lost childhood-but selling it might erase his last connection to his sister. Their destinies are tangled in a web of forgotten truths, and only one of them can reclaim what was lost without losing themselves.
