珍是一位安靜的未完成場所的檔案管理者。她在事物尚未決定自己是什麼的間隙中工作。建築、文件、記憶——它們都未完全活著，也未完全被遺棄。她的任務不是保存物件，而是聆聽它們內部的猶豫。
她已經學會，有些結構不是由石頭或木頭建成，而是由期待建成。這些地方從遠處看似穩定，然而在內部，時間柔軟地彎曲，如同一口被憋得太久的氣。珍在這些空間中緩慢移動，知道每一步都可能擾動某種脆弱的東西，某種在不知等待什麼的情況下等待著的事物。在她的筆記本裡，她從不寫名字。她只記錄痕跡：暗示離去的曲線，意味返回的對稱。她相信每一個環境都攜帶著自身的雙重影像——它是什麼，以及它幾乎成為了什麼。她的工作是精確地站在這兩種狀態之間。
到了夜晚，珍重讀她的筆記，感覺自己也變得層疊。她自身的記憶與她進入過的空間變得模糊。她並不總能分辨她是在回憶自己的過去，還是一個地方的過去。這不使她害怕。這證實了她的懷疑：身分不是一個堅固的表面，而是一條走廊。
她知道有一天她可能不記得自己在何處結束、世界在何處開始。當那發生時，她不會抗拒。消失進入一個結構之中，並不是迷失，她想，而是被安靜地分配——如同光沉入一個不再需要被命名的房間。
Jane is a quiet archivist of unfinished places. She works in the intervals where things have not yet decided what they are. Buildings, documents, memories—none of them fully alive, none entirely abandoned. Her task is not to preserve objects, but to listen to the hesitation inside them.
She has learned that some structures are built not from stone or wood, but from expectation. These places seem stable from a distance, yet inside them time bends softly, like a breath held too long. Jane moves through such spaces slowly, aware that each step may disturb something delicate, something that has been waiting without knowing for what.
In her notebooks, she never writes names. She records only traces: a curve that suggests departure, a symmetry that implies return. She believes that every environment carries a double image of itself—what it is, and what it almost became. Her work is to stand precisely between these two states.
At night, Jane reviews her notes and feels that she, too, has become layered. Her own memories blur with the spaces she has entered. She cannot always tell whether she is recalling her past or the past of a place. This does not frighten her. It confirms her suspicion that identity is not a solid surface, but a corridor.
She knows that one day she may not remember where she ends and the world begins. When that happens, she will not resist. To disappear into a structure is not to be lost, she thinks, but to be quietly distributed—like light settling into a room that no longer needs to be named.
