A city was not simply a place but the echo of its welcome, the texture of its air, the warmth of its horizon.

珍常被他人冠以許多名字，但她為自己取了一個新名號：奇境製圖師。她繪製的地圖並非由線條與方格構成，而是由記憶與感官交織而成，源自無數旅人的聲音。每一個故事都留給她一個碎片——海邊的笑聲閃光、潮濕微風裡的柑橘氣息、黃昏天空下椰葉的沙沙聲。
她將這些碎片如羅盤般鋪展在畫布上。別人眼中的目的地，在珍看來是歸屬的層層疊影。一座城市不僅是一個地方，更是它的歡迎迴響、空氣的質感、地平線的溫暖。她描繪出連接心靈的無形路徑，讓大地充滿生命。她的地圖並非引導人們到達所謂必去之地，而是揭示他們早已被奇境觸碰之處。許多旅人在收到珍的閃爍製圖時，往往流下淚水，意識到自己在出發前便早已抵達。
然而，珍為自己保留了一張未完成的地圖，總在她手中微微發光。其上描繪著夢境的海岸線，渴望與發現之間的邊界。她知道，總有一天，這張地圖會引領她抵達那個所尋之地——不是國度或州境，而是記憶與想像交會的門檻。在那之前，她不斷編織著世界，一次又一次的故事，提醒著遇見她的人：奇境不是目的地，而是一種觀看的方式。
Jane had always been called many things by others, but she chose for herself a new name: the Cartographer of Wonders. Her maps were not made of lines and grids, but of memories and sensations stitched together from countless travelers’ voices. Each story left her a fragment—a shimmer of laughter by the ocean, the smell of citrus carried in a humid breeze, the rustle of palms against the dusk sky.
She spread these fragments across her canvas as if they were compass points. Where others saw destinations, Jane saw layers of belonging. A city was not simply a place but the echo of its welcome, the texture of its air, the warmth of its horizon. She drew invisible paths that connected hearts across distances, making lands feel alive.
Her maps did not guide people to where they thought they needed to go; instead, they revealed where they had already been touched by wonder. Often, travelers found themselves weeping when Jane handed them her shimmering cartographies, realizing that they had already arrived long before they even set out.
But Jane kept one map for herself, unfinished, always glowing faintly in her hands. On it, she traced the coastline of dreams, the borderlands between longing and discovery. She knew one day it would guide her to the place she had been searching for—not a country or a state, but a threshold where memory and imagination converge. Until then, she kept weaving the world together, one story at a time, reminding those who crossed her path that wonder is not a destination but a way of seeing.
