The glass held them all, sealed in light and memory. At dusk, Jane stood beneath the colored reflection, letting it cast its fragments across her face, her hands, her spirit.

在一座被常春藤與歲月掩蓋的遺忘小禮拜堂裡，珍擔任著「光誓的守護者」。沒有人真正記得她是何時出現的——只知道她總在那裡，靜靜地穿梭於聖壇上方彩繪玻璃灑下的光影之中。那扇彩繪玻璃雖歷經百年風雨，仍自內部散發著光芒。深如海的藍、似炭火的紅，在中央匯聚成一頂金冠，四射的光芒彷彿將時間定格。代表初與終的希臘字母「Α」與「Ω」低語著萬象的輪迴，但珍知道，那只是同一件事的不同面向。
每天清晨，她會輕拂窗框底部，細語著那些被遺忘的誓言：忠誠、愛、懺悔與希望。那些承諾被封存在光與記憶之中，而她就是守護者。黃昏時分，珍會靜立於彩光之下，讓那光影映照在她的臉龐與掌心上。她並非不朽，但她早已超越了時間——被那些她守護的誓言緊緊繫住。
某夜，一場雷暴劃破天空，大樹擊穿屋頂，暴雨傾洩而下，玻璃窗劇烈顫動。珍未曾逃避，而是張開雙臂守護它，化作光影中的剪影。
隔日清晨，風雨止息，彩窗雖受損卻未碎裂。而珍？她消失了。但有人說，當陽光恰好照射之時，有身影會在光中浮現——凝視、記憶、守護著那一束束光之誓言。
In a forgotten chapel veiled by ivy and time, Jane served as the Keeper of Luminous Vows. No one quite remembered how she arrived—only that she had always been there, gliding silently through shafts of colored light that spilled from the stained glass window above the altar.
The window, though worn by centuries, glowed as though lit from within. Blues as deep as oceans and reds like flickering embers converged at its center where a golden crown hovered amid radiant beams. Symbols of Alpha and Omega whispered of beginnings and endings, but Jane knew they were one and the same.
Each morning, she traced her fingers along the window's base, murmuring the names of forgotten promises: vows of loyalty, love, penance, hope. The glass held them all, sealed in light and memory. At dusk, Jane stood beneath the colored reflection, letting it cast its fragments across her face, her hands, her spirit. She was not immortal, but she had endured beyond time’s grip—tethered to the vows she safeguarded.
One night, a storm cracked the sky open and sent a tree crashing through the chapel’s roof. Rain poured in, and the stained glass trembled. Jane moved quickly, not to flee, but to shield the window. She stood with arms outstretched, a silhouette lit by shattered color.
By morning, the storm had passed. The window remained, bruised but whole. And Jane? She was gone. But some say, when the sun hits just right, a figure appears in the glow—watching, remembering, keeping the vows lit.
