New Episode 3, “The Faded Name,” has arrived ↓23:59Master Onfroy’s shelf
The first bottle is open, and it’s free. The second tells the same night, through another visitor. The third has just arrived: one year later, Saint-Oublie in broad daylight. The last one is still sealed.
00:00The lanterns light themselves
One night a year, a market appears in a town no map will show you. People sell their fear of the dark, buy back the summer they turned eight, or a first love, “barely used.”
Thirty years ago, Élias Varenne, a watchmaker, sold the face of Lise, the woman he loved. Ever since, the portrait he keeps in his pocket watch has been blank. Tonight, he has come back for it. But to take back a memory, you must give another of equal worth.

Episode II · The White Gloves
Nina Castel restores old photographs. Her grandfather Joseph has just entrusted her with one: he and Rose, dancing on a village square, in 1976. Joseph no longer remembers that waltz. Before his memory fades altogether, he would like to find it again.
So, on the night of October 31, Nina takes the road to Saint-Oublie. But the waltz isn’t where it should be. And at the Market, someone collects happy memories…
How far will she go to give a memory back to the one she loves?

23:47Nina holds the photo up to the square
Three days before Halloween, in her workshop, Nina hands her grandfather the photo she has just restored: Joseph and Rose dancing on the square of Saint-Oublie, on October 31, 1976. Joseph can see himself dancing. He doesn’t remember it. That memory he sold to a gentleman in white gloves.
“Find the waltz, Nina. Before I forget the rest.”

This waltz is also one of the eight bonus coloring pages in Episode 2.
00:40Alleys that few visitors ever see
Anselme, the lamplighter, leads Nina away from the main alley. He sold his sleep a long time ago: he never sleeps anymore, and he knows every alley.
“Laughs on the left. Fears on the right. Don’t mix them up.”page 6
Open a jar.
“You can buy a fit of giggles?”
“Someone else’s. It works all the same.”
“What is THAT?!”
“Some gentleman’s fear of the dark. Sold an hour ago. Don’t move.”
“A fear of the dark? Nothing a lantern can’t cure.”
“Here. Smell this one.”page 7
Open a jar.
“The cherries… The bike… Grandpa’s river.”
“I spent every one of my summers at his place.”
“And you? What did you sell to stay here?”
“My sleep. A long time ago. I never sleep anymore.”
Someone had been listening.
Both alleys are also bonus coloring pages in Episode 2.
02:00At the very edge of the Market, where the lanterns end
“This is as far as I go. My lanterns won’t stay lit near his place.”
“Listen to me. He’s polite. He’s charming. Don’t say yes too fast.”
“Do come in, Mademoiselle Castel. I’ve been expecting you.”
The cabinet of curiosities of Monsieur Valérian Doré is a glass-walled caravan at the very edge of the Market. Thousands of happy memories are pinned inside, like butterflies.
Thousands of happy memories. Not one of them was his.
Each butterfly keeps a happy memory. Tap one: its plate is engraved with the collector’s name.
The case of memory butterflies is also a bonus coloring page in Episode 2.
02:47The Collector names his price
Nina wants to buy back Joseph’s waltz. But Monsieur Doré only takes true happiness, and he was listening in the Alley of Childhood Scents. His price fits on a bill of exchange.
“This trade is not fair. There are no scales here.”

Episode III · The Faded Name
A year has gone by. Nina lost her summers at the Market, so her grandfather, Joseph, tells them to her, and she writes them down, one by one, in a notebook. That morning, a letter arrives from Saint-Oublie. The seal bears a crescent moon.
Our summers
…and that day, you fell in the river in your Sunday dress!
Sweetheart,he’s back.He wants all my jars.Come quickly. — Solange
“She helped me, Grandpa. Now it’s my turn.”
12:00October 30, noon · Saint-Oublie
By day, the town looks like any other small town. All the way down Weavers’ Street stands the House of Jars: hundreds of first loves in glass, dull and empty. They only wake up on Market night.
19:00That evening, at Solange’s
Long ago, Solange sold the Market her memory of someone she loved. Not his name, not his face: all she has left is this thin ring, which she has never taken off. Nina, for her part, knows how to get old things to talk.
Turn the ring, the way Solange does.
“There’s something engraved inside…” A. · 31.10.1970 “October 31… Market night.”
21:30Solange’s attic
Up in the attic sits a box Solange has never dared to open. October 31 is Market night. And the date engraved in the ring is an October 31.
Open the box, then pick an object.
02:00Nina worked all night
In the kitchen turned workshop, Nina bends her magnifying glass over the bleached photo. Little by little, a couple appears.
Rub the photo with a pencil, the way you lift an imprint.
“Is that… me? Good Lord, I was so young.”
“And him… I don’t know him. And yet…”
This photo coming back to life is also one of the eight bonus coloring pages in Episode 3.
23:45October 30, a quarter to midnight
The caravan opens onto a gallery of display cases as far as the eye can see. Pinned inside one of them, Nina finds her own summers.
“Whoever owns the first flask holds the first key to the Market.”
23:52The Collector’s offer
At the Market, you pay only with your own memories, and an entire life weighs a great deal. Only a memory of love weighs as much. The Collector knows it: he is the one who has kept Solange’s, for more than fifty years, under a glass dome.
