Part 4 - Handling Mementos

Instead of doing something other than examining with a memento (called the target memento):

now the current person is the shadow self;

say "Your shadow retreats slightly and half-turns away, preventing you from touching [the target memento]. Do you insist? (y/n)>";

if the player consents:

say "[Zhe] does not retreat again, and you touch the [target memento]. The contact triggers a memory.[paragraph break]";

now the current memory is the associated memory of the target memento;

remember the current memory;

say "[line break][The target memento] shimmers and then vanishes from existence.";

remove the target memento from play.
