消逝面孔的檔案管理者 The Archivist of Vanishing Faces
Jane traced the outlines with her fingertips, feeling the weight of intertwined lives. Who were they? A single man caught between two selves? Or two souls merging into one, bound by fate or deception?

珍早已明白，時間並非線性流動，而是層層疊疊的記憶堆積。作為一名消逝面孔的檔案管理者，她收集那些即將被遺忘的瞬間，將它們縫合在一起，拼湊出在歷史中模糊的身份。她的工作室昏暗而寧靜，四周散落著遺失的面容，每一張模糊的照片都是一個等待被解讀的故事。某個夜晚，一張奇異的照片悄然出現在她的檔案之中——兩張面孔交疊重合，輪廓扭曲卻又無法分離，彷彿處於既存在又消失的邊界之間。這張影像彷彿帶著某種急切的訊息，在沉默中低語，渴望被辨識。珍用指尖輕觸照片的邊緣，感受那些交織的生命重量。他們是同一個人在時光的夾縫中分裂出的兩個自我？還是兩個命運交纏的靈魂，因謊言、記憶或錯置的時光而融合？她轉身望向牆上的光影檔案，那裡的面孔閃爍不定，如鬼魅般遊離於影像與遺忘之間。層層疊疊的歷史在她眼前流轉，像是扭曲的時間之河。珍始終相信，每一張模糊的肖像都藏著一個尚未被訴說的真相——一個自我搖擺不定的瞬間，處於現實與虛無的邊界。
她仔細端詳著照片，模糊的背景中，似乎有些許筆跡若隱若現，彷彿某雙無形的手留下的註記。幾個字緩緩浮現於霧氣般的光影之中——「珍」。她驀然後退，心跳加速。她究竟是在揭開他們的故事，還是其實自己才是其中的一部分？
觀察者與被觀察者的界線逐漸消融。她所珍藏的檔案，並非只是過往的殘影，而是她自己身份的回聲，在時間的縫隙中閃爍、變幻，等待被記起。
珍終於明白——她並非只是保存歷史，她正成為歷史的一部分。
Jane had long understood that time was not linear but layered. As an archivist of vanishing faces, she collected moments before they dissolved, stitching together identities lost in the blur of history. In her dimly lit studio, surrounded by fragments of forgotten expressions, she studied the fading portraits that arrived mysteriously at her doorstep.
One evening, a peculiar photograph emerged—a double-exposed visage of two men, their features merging and fracturing, neither fully present nor absent. The image pulsed with a quiet urgency, as if pleading for recognition. Jane traced the outlines with her fingertips, feeling the weight of intertwined lives. Who were they? A single man caught between two selves? Or two souls merging into one, bound by fate or deception?
She turned to her wall of spectral records, where faces flickered like ghosts on film. Layers upon layers of history lay there, whispering secrets through distortions. Jane believed that every blurred portrait held an untold truth—a moment of transition when identity wavered, when the self was both here and elsewhere.
As she examined the photograph, faint letters appeared in the background, scrawled as though by an unseen hand. A name materialized in the haze: “Jane.” She stepped back, heart pounding. Was she unraveling their mystery, or was she part of it?
The lines between observer and observed had thinned. The faces in her archive were not just remnants of the past; they were echoes of herself, shifting, evolving, waiting to be remembered.
Jane understood now—she was not just preserving history. She was becoming it.
