“Hundreds of people in Neo-Tokyo have been left empty, and in the last memory of every one of them is the name of the man who repairs memories.”

In Neo-Tokyo, people who live alone are being emptied out: the body breathes, the eyes stare east, and no one is left inside. Kenji Ishikawa repairs memories by feeling what their owners felt, and in the shells' backups there is nothing to feel.
