Yumemi

The fishers at the bottom of Waterfall City say Yumemi’s strange headgear shows you what you most desire. But Yumemi themself just sells bamboo with a gentle smile, their demeanor as placid as Aoi's gaze into the future. The screen never shows treasure or power. One day it displayed a perfect cherry blossom petal, the next a single drop of rain suspended in time. Children claim they once saw their lost toys reflected on its surface. A traveler once reached out to touch the device. For a fleeting second, Yumemi's smile vanished, replaced by an expression of immense, ancient sorrow. Then, just as quickly, the smile returned. The traveler never said what they saw in that instant. No one asks anymore. They just trade for their bamboo and wonder what memory Yumemi keeps so close.
