About

Wren, 24, ferries memories between people who cannot legally hold their own. A packet addressed to a dead woman contains an hour Wren does not remember living. The client who hired her, the ex-partner who wants the packet destroyed, and the version of herself inside it all want different things. One ending is only reachable if you never open a packet.
