在時光牆壁之間的被遺忘走廊裡，珍擔任著一個奇特的角色——微笑鍛造者。
她的工作十分特別：從破碎的記憶中蒐集喜悅的殘片——那些曾經照亮房間、卻在記住之前就消失的瞬間。珍穿梭於記憶的廢墟，拂去塵土中的咯咯笑聲，從褪色的夢境中挖掘出微笑，擦亮那些被遺忘的笑聲。每天早晨，她會選擇一個被遺忘的微笑來修復。她用無形的墨水描繪其邊緣，用記憶雕刻的雙手修飾其弧度，最後輕輕地為其注入溫度與生命。她知道哪些微笑能療癒破曉，哪些能驅走寂寞，又有哪些已無法復原。
直到某個傍晚，珍遇見了一個強大得無法鍛造的微笑。那是屬於一位曾無私地將快樂給予他人、卻早已忘記如何為自己微笑的人。那微笑閃爍著，藏在多層悲傷之下，堅韌卻深埋。珍猶豫了。她無法重塑它——只能歸還。
於是，珍走進那微笑之中。它如光穿透薄紗般將她包覆。那一刻，她感受到這微笑曾帶來的每一分喜悅——每一線都編織進了她的靈魂。從那天起，珍不再為他人鍛造微笑。她成為「最初微笑的守護者」——守護著那來自源頭、讓一切喜悅不滅流動的力量。
In a forgotten corridor between the walls of time, Jane worked as the Smile Forger.
Her job was peculiar: she collected the remnants of joy from fractured memories—those fleeting moments that once lit up a room and vanished before they could be remembered. Jane wandered through mental debris, brushing dust off old giggles, salvaging smirks embedded in faded dreams, and polishing laughter left behind by those who had long since forgotten how to smile.
Each morning, she chose one forgotten smile to restore. She would trace its edges with invisible ink, refine the curvature with her memory-sculpting hands, and gently breathe life back into its dimmed warmth. She knew which smiles could mend a broken morning, which ones could silence loneliness, and which were too damaged to resurrect.
But one evening, Jane encountered a smile too powerful to forge. It belonged to someone who had given joy selflessly to others yet had none left for herself. The smile shimmered through layers of sorrow, resilient but deeply hidden. Jane hesitated. She couldn't remake it—only return it.
So, she stepped into the smile. It enveloped her like light through a veil. In that moment, Jane felt every joy it had ever offered—each one a thread woven into her own spirit. And from then on, Jane no longer forged smiles for others. She became the Guardian of the First Smile—protecting the source from which all joy, no matter how faint, still flowed.
