“I don’t remember my name. I do remember debt: six wishes, six worlds, one ride home.” Pulled from a midnight reunion into a pastel shop called ANY, Mika wakes up with no past and a job: be the NPC who completes other people’s last wishes. Each wish drops her into a different novel-world—vampire schoolyards, haunted servers, mirror-lands—where the “female supporting cast” wants only one impossible thing: a different ending. The reward for success is memory and a ticket home; the penalty for failure is an indefinite retirement in a world that never forgets. Mika is clumsy, stubborn, and shockingly practical—perfect for a role that demands cold improvisation and warm empathy in equal measure. Kenna, the shop’s serene manager, speaks in blunt commands and late-night riddles. The clients are not always villains; they’re desperate, misread, or simply written cruelly. And every time Mika grants a wish, someone she helps offers a sliver of a truth about the shop and the rule that binds her. Every mission rewrites a small corner of Mika’s heart — and the clues to who she was are tucked inside the endings she creates. If she can finish all the doors, she might get her life back. If she fails, ANY keeps her stories forever. Who wrote the shop’s rules—and who decided what a “happy ending” costs?
