She carried no instrument, no device to record or measure. Instead, she listened with a presence so steady that even the faintest tremor of memory found shape around her.

珍是「消逝回聲的守護者」，她行走於那些聲音比光停留更久的長廊。每一面牆似乎都在呼吸，裡面藏著遺留的低語——未完成的詞句、被遺忘的笑聲、帶著無言遺憾的嘆息。她的任務不是捕捉，也不是消除，而是引導它們走向一個能夠溫柔消散的地方，如同黎明時的霧氣。
她沒有攜帶任何器具，也沒有測量的裝置。她以一種穩定的存在傾聽，讓最微弱的記憶顫動也能在她身邊凝聚。有時，回聲像脆弱的飛蛾般飄落在她掌心；有時，它們則沉重地壓在她胸口，催促她以呼吸調和它們。珍從不退縮，她明白每一道回聲都承載著曾經鮮活的片刻——廚房餐桌上的爭執、圖書館的靜謐、顫抖的愛之告白。夜裡，她坐在寂靜的門檻下，那是所有回聲最終匯聚的所在。她以低語回應這些無形的線索，給予它們圓滿。她並非重述，而是以善意、寬恕與承認的音調織入空氣。慢慢地，回聲柔和下來，在她的聲音裡得到釋放。
極少有人看見她，更少有人理解她的角色。然而，經過她守護之徑的人總覺得心境輕盈，彷彿某種重擔被卸下。珍不是記憶的守護者，也不是毀滅者——她確保了記憶與遺忘之間的平衡。在她的照料中，回聲不再糾纏，而是被治癒。
Jane, the Guardian of Fading Echoes, walked through corridors where sound lingered longer than light. Each wall seemed to breathe with whispers left behind—half-formed words, forgotten laughter, sighs heavy with unspoken regrets. Her task was not to capture these sounds, nor to silence them, but to guide them toward a place where they could dissolve gently, like mist at dawn.
She carried no instrument, no device to record or measure. Instead, she listened with a presence so steady that even the faintest tremor of memory found shape around her. Sometimes the echoes drifted into her palms like fragile moths; other times they pressed heavily against her chest, urging her to breathe them into balance. Jane did not flinch. She knew each echo carried the weight of a moment once vivid—an argument at a kitchen table, the hush of a library, the trembling confession of love.
At night, she sat beneath the threshold of silence, where all echoes eventually merged. She whispered back into the invisible threads, giving them closure through her own voice. Not by repeating their content, but by weaving tones of kindness, forgiveness, and acknowledgment into the air. Slowly, the echoes softened, finding release in the cadence she offered.
Few ever saw her, and fewer still understood her role. Yet those who passed unknowingly through her tended paths felt lighter, as if some burden had been eased. Jane was not a keeper of memory, nor a destroyer of it—she was the one who ensured the balance between remembering and letting go. In her care, echoes did not haunt; they healed.
