Introduction

Every antique object contains unforgettable yearnings……

In an alleyway of an old city hides a mysterious antique store, where people trade the souls of objects.

"Welcome!"

The shop owner, Rosetta, has shockingly colorful hair and a slender, curvy figure. In stark contrast to her antiques, she is young and beautiful.

It is said she can tell you the stories and memories behind any object you hand her. Here, we learn the stories of an old fountain pen, a neglected portrait, a necklace, and Salome, a stage play based on the Biblical story.

Every object has an immortalized soul, born from unforgettable events and sentiments from the past…
