The Objecteth Is Very Much Imp'rtant

What is the most important OBJECT in your story? Tell me about this object's history, then tell me what role this object plays in your story. If that object didn't exist, how would the event of your book have gone different? This question is applicable to both fiction and non-fiction texts.
For example, if you were reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the Sorcerer's Stone would obviously be the most important object. The answer to this question may be more apparent for some books than others.
I'd like to think everything is a butterfly affect. Without the main protagonist's, Shindou Shuichi, aspiration towards being a musician, he probably wouldn't have met Yuki Eiri because essentially, Yuki has a connection to a record label that Shuichi always dreamed to being apart of. While this object may not be quite the materialistic item that everyone would expect, it's something that vital to all of the events that follows in the story. There is no guarantee that I am correct, considering that this manga is a romance genre, but its Shuichi's passion for music that led him to all of these new meetings.
