The forgotten caches are not lost. They are planted.

She ladles steaming river soup for travelers at her small crossing, listening to their goodbyes before she sends them on with a seed pressed into their palm.

The living story
Rivercache was born where Meng Po's bridge touches the Warren's oldest storehouse bank, and from her first morning she could point, unerringly, to seeds buried before she was born. The Cache-King called it inheritance. Meng Po, watching her ladle river water over a cache she then refused to name, called it something rarer: a memory learning mercy.
She keeps a small crossing of her own now, where the river runs slow and brown-gold. Travelers arrive carrying heavy pasts; she gives them soup, listens once, completely, and then buries one seed for each story she will not repeat. Her bank is becoming a garden of other people's fresh starts.
One spring she will forget a cache she has guarded her whole life — not by accident, but by choice — and whatever rises from that bank will be the first thing in either parent's world that neither memory nor forgetfulness can explain.
What others saw
“On Rivercache's bank, the tallest flowers grow where she refuses to dig.”
The forgotten caches are not lost. They are planted.
“She ladles with her right hand and plants with her left, and never mixes the two.”
One hand is for endings. The other is for beginnings.
“The Cache-King once asked her what she had forgotten. She smiled and offered him soup.”
Even kings get the same mercy as strangers.
