The shop that takes everything back

A returns counter under CLOSED signs, shelves of mugs behind the glass. In the atomizer's world, a shop like this changes meaning: nothing is thrown away, because anything can be taken back to the machine and unmade into components. Trash becomes inventory. Landfills become mines that somebody already dug. This quiet, slightly dusty counter is what the end of waste actually looks like — not a ceremony, just a place that takes everything back.
