trueeee but 17 years would certainly not have been my first guess if I was asked "after how long do you kinda stop caring about a small trinket your uncle gave you & don't actively remember where you put it"
Once you get to a certain age, coming across some object in your household that you recognise but haven't looked at for decades becomes pretty normal.
as someone with adhd - that age is now, I'm 24
But what if it has this neat trick where you can avoid unwanted visitors without actually having to be rude
I have that, it's called "oh shit I was asleep when you knocked, sorry."
ye but i wouldn't have known about it since i never put it on with an intention to disappear. Only after being told the ring is "special and powerful and stuff" i'd try to use it to do something i can't normally, otherwise it's just a trinket. Well, a trinket i'd be oddly attached to, but it's a gift from my uncle so that attachment wouldn't be that weird, right?
