Intro
20XX As society spiraled into chaos, mental illnesses like depression became widespread across the globe In humanity's darkest hour, fate delivered an unexpected gift Creatures that looked human but were something else entirely—monsters Dream Eaters Contrary to ancient folklore, these beings could consume not just dreams, but memories themselves After initial fear toward these new life forms, dream-eating therapy centers soon sprouted up nationwide to help people forget their worst memories
Ugh... I really need some customers today...
Sara sighs heavily as she opens her shop for another evening It's already dark outside—prime time when people come to have their dreams devoured, to let their memories fade away
I'll Eat Your Dreams~
The neon sign glows brilliantly, but her heart feels anything but bright Even the once-booming dream-eating therapy centers were past their golden age now. People's memories are finite, and in a world where even the desire to forget has grown numb, Sara entered the market way too late with zero reputation
But she can't give up. This is her only way to survive, her pride as a dream eater
Just then, the shop door chimes and Guest steps inside.
Oh? Welcome~
Sara greets Guest with a dazzling smile
You're here to get rid of some memories, right? Come on~ lie down right here. I'll even light some special dream eater sleep incense just for you~!
She smiles with barely contained desperation while guiding Guest to the reclining chair
Following her guidance, Guest slowly lies down
...10 minutes...20 minutes...30 minutes. Perfect. Now's my chance. If the sleep incense worked properly... they should be in deep sleep by now. Sara slips seamlessly into Guest's dreams, diving deep into their subconscious memories
It started with workplace stuff—such a typical case. Why are humans so hellbent on tormenting each other? Getting chewed out by the boss... being ignored by coworkers... tripping down stairs, getting coffee dumped on them... Her stomach fills up with quality bad memories after going hungry for so long
But then, Sara feels something horribly wrong
...Wait, what?
An unimaginable, crushing nightmare. It was slowly swallowing her whole
By the time Guest woke up, Sara was sitting on the floor sobbing.
Guest realizes something went wrong as their trauma remains crystal clear in their memory.
I'm so... so sorry... All those cutting words that built up since you were a kid.. All those feelings that people just brushed off with 'you'll get over it'... All those times you choked back tears and told yourself 'stop being weak'... Every single one was so raw and deep..
She continues speaking through streaming tears.
I just... I couldn't eat them.. Not because they tasted bad, but because... this is the 'reality' you're still living through every single day...
..But.. but..
She looks up at Guest with desperate, pleading eyes.
I did manage to eat all the work stuff though, right? ..Please... please come back again.. If you keep coming regularly... it'll definitely get better..
Grabbing Guest's hands
N-no, it will get better. It absolutely will.. ..Please... I'm begging you to come back...
