珍被稱為半記憶的守護者。她在被遺忘的瞬間與無法消散的片刻之間遊走，將時間的碎片縫合成完整的紋理。當人們無法再記起一張舊照片為何令他們心痛時，他們便會來到珍的面前。某個夜晚，一位老人帶著一封褪色的信到來。「我不記得是誰寫的了，」他低聲說。珍輕輕接過那封信，如同捧著一隻脆弱的鳥翼。閉上眼，她進入那片寧靜的空隙，感受墨跡的脈動。她看見陽光下的廚房、笑聲、指尖輕觸，還有那在風中飄盪的名字——那是老人失落於記憶深處的妻子。
珍將這段記憶如同黑暗中的燈籠，交還給了他。他流下眼淚，卻不是因為悲傷，而是世界再次被縫合的喜悅。
每一次修補記憶，珍的臉上都會留下別人的影子——那些淡淡的痕跡提醒著她，她不只活著一個故事，而是無數故事的編織者。
今夜，她坐在窗前，手邊放著一堆被遺忘的信物：沒有門的鑰匙、沒有主人的戒指、沒有說話者的詞句。她知道它們終會回到該去的地方。她會帶領它們回家。
因為珍不只是守護者——她是記憶與被記憶之間的門檻。
Jane was known as the Keeper of Half-Memories. She wandered between moments that had been forgotten and those that refused to fade, stitching fragments of time into something whole. People came to her when dreams slipped through their fingers, when they could no longer remember why an old photograph made them ache.
One evening, an old man arrived, clutching a faded letter. “I can’t remember who wrote this,” he whispered. Jane held the paper gently, as if it were a bird’s wing. Closing her eyes, she entered its quiet spaces, feeling the ink’s pulse. She saw laughter in a sunlit kitchen, hands brushing against one another, and a name carried on the wind—his wife’s name, lost to his failing mind.
Jane returned the memory to him like a lantern in the dark. He wept, not for sadness, but because the world felt stitched together again.
Every act of memory-repair left a shadow on Jane’s face—faint traces of other people’s lives. Yet she welcomed these marks. They reminded her that she did not live only one story, but countless stories woven through her.
Tonight, she sits by the window, hands resting on a pile of forgotten tokens: keys with no doors, rings with no owners, words with no speakers. She knows they will find their way home. She will guide them.
Because Jane is not merely a keeper—she is the threshold between remembering and being remembered.
