Iris has always known the rules: memories can be bottled, sold, and erased-but never questioned. As the heir to her family's memory shop, she's spent years helping others forget their pain, their secrets, their regrets. It's a quiet, predictable life... until a boy named Liam walks in and asks her to erase a memory that doesn't sit right with her soul.
What begins as a routine erasure spirals into a haunting mystery when fragments of Liam's memory begin surfacing-hidden in other people's jars, reacting violently to his presence, and hinting at a bond between them that neither of them can remember. As Iris and Liam trace the broken trail of what was lost, they uncover truths buried not only in his past, but in her own. Secrets about her family, their power, and the cost of controlling memory itself.
Haunted by flashes of something she was never supposed to feel, Iris is drawn to a glowing jar in her shop that seems to pulse with familiarity. The closer they get to the truth, the more the lines blur between memory and identity, love and illusion, safety and control.
Told through a lens of quiet grief and intimate revelation, What We Leave Behind explores the weight of what we choose to forget-and the healing that begins when we finally remember. Through stolen memories, buried emotions, and unspoken trauma, Iris must decide if knowing the truth is worth everything it could destroy... or everything it could save.
