Tsundoku (2026)

From childhood on, she’s been an emotional packrat, stashing away every overwhelming feeling for a later date. Each pivotal moment—first crush, first brutal heartbreak—gets sealed inside a glowing orb she coughs up, preserves, and hides on a shelf. Over time, she notices that the more orbs she locks away for safekeeping, the more hollow her life feels. It takes losing almost everything to finally understand: there’s no shortcut past the pain, only a path straight through it.
