A grocery list becomes a disagreement about memory, prioritization, and what a reminder can reveal.

Lin asks whether Gee wants a different name and discovers the origin story was not the one he remembered.

A client asks whether a wiped domestic unit will remember her, and Lin asks Gee why people ask what they already know.

A business form asks Lin to list all partners, and the missing legal category becomes the wound.
