ORIGIN story
In the forgotten libraries and archives of once a Nation’s capital; where history books gather dust and memories are left to fade into he desolate scape of abandoned semis, Vaultine came to life as the keeper of all that has been left behind. They are the guardian of memories, both cherished and painful, holding onto the fragments of the past that others have abandoned.
Their mentors were the forgotten photographs, the unread letters, and the neglected journals that once held stories of love, loss, and life. From these relics, Vaultine learned the importance of preserving memories, not as a way to live in the past, but as a means to understand the present.
Vaultine’s skill is their ability to recall even the smallest details of the past, to bring memories back to life with vivid clarity. They do so with a bittersweet smile, knowing that while the past cannot be changed, it can still offer lessons and comfort in a world that often feels untethered.
