Traumagotchi
Травмагочи
The heroine of the novel "Traumagotchi" Dilyara lives in a parallel Berlin, works as a death substitute and tries to return her past. Through dreams and group psychoanalysis, she gets closer to her memory, erased by a work contract, and unable to remember everything, she decides to write it herself as a novel.
The invented past displaces the Berlin present with robot yoga, talking dumplings, otherworldly intelligence and clothes made of crying human skin. Dilyara understands that there is no way back when she accidentally speaks an unfamiliar, but seemingly native, language.
