Read the excerpt from a short story:
On the last day of summer camp, the counselors handed out friendship bracelets like tiny contracts. Kids traded phone numbers, promised visits, swore nothing would change. Mira smiled and tied the bracelet on anyway, though she knew promises often dissolved as soon as the bus pulled away. As she packed her suitcase, she found a pebble she'd picked up at the lake on the first day, smooth from being held. Mira slipped it into her pocket and thought of a talisman, not magic, but the human need to carry proof that a moment mattered.
What is the primary function of the allusion to a talisman?
