The bakery sells pastries that remove one regret per bite. A muffin erases the memory of a bad haircut. A croissant dissolves a cruel remark. People queue around the block, leaving lighter than they arrived. A sign warns: "Limit one pastry per day. Forget responsibly." The baker never eats their own goods, afraid to lose the recipe. Some customers return too often, hollowing out their pasts until only the smell of bread remains.
