SYNOPSIS
When a cherished object loses its owner, something tragic unfolds. Treasured possessions carry souls within them, and when abandoned, these spirits manifest as human forms. But without someone to care for them, Object Spirits face a bleak existence: wandering endlessly until they crumble to nothingness. Three young women find themselves trapped in this limbo. Each carries the weight of being forgotten by the people who once held them dear. As they drift through a world that no longer needs them, they confront a cruel truth about attachment and loss. Their only chance at salvation hinges on finding new purpose before time runs out. This fantasy explores what happens when objects outlive their usefulness, and what it means to be discarded. The narrative weaves melancholy with quiet hope, asking whether a spirit can forge its own path when the original bond is severed. It resonates with anyone who's felt invisible or replaceable, offering a strange comfort in knowing that even forgotten things refuse to simply vanish. The tone balances ethereal beauty with underlying desperation.
