It’s been a long time since the Auto Memories Doll was born. Dr. Orlando invented this machine for his blind wife Molly, who worked as a novelist so that she could write even though she couldn’t see. The machine looked like a small and cute doll. And because it was built because of his thoughts and wishes for his wife, he called it Auto Memories Doll. In the end, the Auto Memories Doll became popular and helped many people. It is now referred to the women who work to write for those who can’t do it anymore or express feelings on behalf of others to someone. Violet Evergarden, who was formerly called a ‘weapon’, leaves the battlefield and is about to begin a new life with the CH Postal Service. There she hears for the first time of Auto Memories Dolls, which moves her heart. She starts working as one and gets to meet many people and various emotions
