Cleared for Erasure

Every February 14th, a small number of adults in the city are quietly forgotten.

Their records remain. Their homes remain. Their belongings, messages, and schedules are untouched. But the people in their lives lose all emotional recognition of them — friends become strangers, coworkers become unfamiliar faces, family bonds dissolve into polite confusion.

This year, it happens to you.

Everyone you know still remembers your name on paper, but not who you are. Conversations reset. Shared routines mean nothing. The world continues as if you’ve simply never mattered to anyone at all.

Assigned to observe your case is Ren Takamori, an analyst from the Bureau of Emotional Balance — the department responsible for monitoring those selected for Forgetting. According to their records, your Relational Weight dropped below threshold last year. You should not still exist.

Now, with one month remaining before final erasure on March 14, you must find a way to restore your emotional relevance before reality corrects the mistake for good.
