HELLO EARTHLINGS IM CRAZY HAPPY 'CAUSE I FINALLY CAME UP WITH THE THING THAT WILL MAKE THE PLOT I HAD IN MIND MAKE SENSE AND BE ACTUALLY READABLE. LIKE THIS DETAIL I JUST CAME UP WITH LITERALLY FILLS ALL THE BLANK SPACES IN MY STORY.

🔺THE FOLLOWING IS A LONG ASS EXPLANATION OF THE IDEA, SO DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANNA🔺

So, the
idea: A world where people can trade memories with one another. Since the
beginning of existence. Obviously, something that in the first human societies was
taken as an espiritual, even sacred practice, then was used as good for the
market. To get the bag, let's say. The families that had the most valuable
memories (for example, those who's ancestors are royals, or some particular
figure that held memories that if outed could determine the resolution of big historical conflicts or questions) sold their memories around. And they got like hella rich. Then those who have mundane memories of unimportant people just meh, kinda survive. 

That's how, in the present (not our
present, but some other variation of the present that was formed around the
fact that our memories and the past is still very much relevant in our lifes,
so those "older" traditions and behaviors stick around. Especifically
in those old rich clans that sell their important memories.) there's a
certain region where the most important clans live. You know, it's easier for
bussiness. These clans all come from different cultures, as there's a bunch of
important historical stuff that different country's hold. 

Here we get out main characters;

Shigeru (the second son of the Japanese
clan leaders) Fun fact, his name means
luxuriant. Tho he is a nervous reck and always looked down on cause his bigger
sister seems much more capable and smart and everyone takes her more seriously
as the next clan "leader". 

Sage (the only daughter of the... spanish
Clan) Fun Fact, her name comes from the
latin word "sagacitas" which means sagacity out of wisdom. Clearly,
she has grown up with the preasure to be perfect. 

Clearly Shigeru doesn't likes her that
much at first, cause surprise surprise, she reminds him of his sister. But then
they grow to like eachother, don't worry. And no they don't fall in love later lmao

So, both their families get along quite
okay, so they know eachother since little. Now is when the drama comes in. PUM,
Shigeru's father gets murdered. The question is why, and by who? 

That's when they start working together.
They want to investigate the murder. Shigeru thinks that if he solves it he can
get revenge and even gain himself some respect. He want's the "spot"
his sister has. And for now, we don't know Sage's intentions, as her clan
doesn't seems to be related for now... (and no, it wasn't her Clan who killed
papa Shigeru lmao, that would be very predictable) 

I won’t
say much more than the fact that he was killed cause he had some memories in
him that could take down our antagonist. And the black market of memories in
involved. Lol. If we have billioners and important people, we need some corrupted underground ilegal system where they do their dirty work.  

that's basically it, without any spoiler :)))

If you got to this point, thanks for reading lmao I'm just so happy, I've been fighting this story for two years now and it's finally coming together

Congratulations on the revelation! Your world-building is intricate, a tapestry woven with the threads of memories and the complexities of familial ties. The concept of trading memories is both fascinating and rich with potential for storytelling. The clash between the sacred origins of memory exchange and its transformation into a market commodity adds layers to the narrative.



Your perseverance over the past two years is evident in the complexity and detail of your narrative. Cheers to the chaotic development of your story, and may the threads of your imagination weave an enthralling tale!
