She could manipulate a puddle to reveal a forgotten moment, bend the arc of a rearview mirror to show someone else's fate, or distort a windowpane so a passerby glimpsed a lover they'd only dreamed of.

珍從來不以相同的模樣出現兩次。
作為一位反映工程師，她的旅行不仰賴空間或時間，而是依附在表面之上。她的工作重點從來不在於反射出的影像，而是透過反射本身，去改變記憶、重塑身份、甚至扭曲真相。她戴著鏡面墨鏡，不是為了躲避世界，而是為了欺騙它。人們望進她的鏡片，不會看到珍，而是看到一個未曾遇見的自己——更溫柔的、更陌生的，或更危險的。每一個表面都是她的實驗室。她能操控水窪，映出被遺忘的瞬間；扭曲後視鏡的角度，顯現他人的命運；或讓窗戶玻璃中浮現出一個只在夢中出現過的戀人。人們稱她為魔法師，但那不是魔法，而是精心設計的光線與意圖的折射。
在這個沉迷影像的社會中，珍提供的是更深一層的東西：反映作為一種啟示。她常被祕密地聘請——來自迷失的靈魂：音樂家、母親、流亡者與間諜。她的過程既親密又令人不安。她不問問題，只舉起一面拋光的虛無，靜靜等待。
某天，她在一項工作中消失了。只剩下一個圓形、有著波紋的鏡面，嵌在一面混凝土牆上。人們站在鏡前凝視，期待看見熟悉的畫面。但映入眼簾的總是不同——有時在微笑，有時在哭泣，有時則完全無法辨認。
珍，終於把自己變成了一道反映。
As the Reflection Engineer, she traveled light — not through space or time, but through surfaces. Her work was never about what was reflected, but how reflection itself could shift memory, rewire identity, or fracture truth. She wore mirrored glasses, not to hide from the world, but to trick it. People who looked into her lenses didn’t see Jane. They saw a version of themselves they hadn’t met yet — kinder, stranger, or more dangerous.
Every surface became her laboratory. She could manipulate a puddle to reveal a forgotten moment, bend the arc of a rearview mirror to show someone else's fate, or distort a windowpane so a passerby glimpsed a lover they’d only dreamed of. People called her a magician, but it wasn’t magic. It was design — meticulously crafted angles of light and intention.
In a society addicted to images, Jane offered something deeper: reflection as revelation. She was hired in secret by those who’d lost themselves — musicians, mothers, exiles, and spies. Her process was intimate and unsettling. She didn’t ask questions. She held up a polished void and waited.
One day, she vanished mid-project. All that remained was a round, rippled lens embedded in a concrete wall. People stood before it, squinting, waiting to see something familiar. But what stared back was always different — sometimes smiling, sometimes weeping, sometimes unrecognizable.
Jane had finally turned herself into a reflection.
