珍一向以傾聽著稱，但在這個新角色裡，她成為了回聲的守護者。她的任務不是保存說出口的話語，而是收集潛藏於沉默中的痕跡——那些從未被說出的思緒迴響，那些幾乎不可見的情感震動。她徘徊於低語消散的地方：黃昏的河岸、被遺忘的閣樓、曾經充滿笑聲的階梯轉角。
她收集的每一道回聲，成為無形檔案中的一條線。她不攜帶筆記本，僅憑著能將無形編織為形的能力。這些回聲不受時間拘束；它們層疊、斷裂、彼此交錯——像是跨越世紀的聲音呼喚。珍從不試圖分離它們，而是任由它們融合，彷彿被遺忘的眾聲合唱，重新生成新的存在。夜裡，她坐在小房間裡，四壁微微閃爍，映照出她收集到的回聲。有些柔和——孩子入眠前的輕哼；有些沉重——一場爭執被截斷在半句之中。珍的天賦不是評斷，而是深聽，讓即便最破碎的震動也能找到歸宿。
漸漸地，人們開始注意到她的存在。當她走過時，他們感覺更輕盈，好似某種難以言說的痛被帶走了。珍從未談起她的工作。她只是不斷地傾聽、收集與承載。回聲的守護者不追求名聲；她追尋的是迴盪。
因為珍知道，在回聲之中，世界從未真正結束。每一個聲音、每一聲嘆息、每一道隱秘的震動，終將等待著被再次聽見，只要有人願意用心傾聽。
Jane had always been known as a listener, but in this new role, she became the Keeper of Echoes. Her task was not to hold onto spoken words, but to collect the faintest traces of memory that lingered in silence—the after-sounds of thought, the subtle vibration of emotions never voiced. She wandered between places where whispers dissolved into air: empty attics, riverbanks at dusk, forgotten stairwells where laughter once lived.
Each echo she gathered became a thread in her invisible archive. She carried no notebook, only the ability to weave the intangible into form. The echoes were not bound by time; they arrived layered, fractured, sometimes overlapping—like voices calling across centuries. Jane did not try to untangle them. Instead, she let them fuse, a chorus of forgotten presences reshaping themselves into something new.
At night, she sat in her small room, walls shimmering faintly with all the echoes she had collected. Some were gentle—a child humming herself to sleep. Others were heavy, like an argument paused mid-sentence. Jane’s gift was not to judge but to listen deeply, to allow even the most broken vibrations to have a place.
In time, people began to notice her presence. They felt lighter after she passed by, as though she had lifted some residue of pain they could not name. Jane never spoke of her work. She simply listened, gathered, and carried. The Keeper of Echoes did not seek recognition; she sought resonance.
For Jane knew that in echoes, the world never truly ended. Every voice, every sigh, every secret ripple in the air remained, waiting to be heard again by someone who cared enough to listen.
