Jackler Presents: Reminiscence — Black Swan Inspired Collection
"We nurture remembrance against the cruelties of time."
The Garden of Recollection serves Fuli, the Aeon of Remembrance, and its Memokeepers collect what others are about to forget. Black Swan listens patiently, and other people's memories turn into cards in her hands. She calls herself a diviner. Tell her a little about yourself and she will already know the rest.

MEMORIES
"What do you see?" I asked, in a form visible to her.
She pointed at a patch of weeds and the lingering traces.
"I see a stone, perhaps once part of a fireplace... But it must hold more significance."
I nodded and assisted her in removing the weeds and dirt from the crevices of the stone.
"It was once a monument," she murmured, gently caressing the engravings adorning its surface.
"Indeed, but the 'memory' holds more significance."
Thus, I revealed to her that the stone on the moor had once served as a fireplace, a monument before that, a flowerbed, and even an altar... And before all that, it had simply been a stone on the moor.
"What price would I pay if I want to witness those 'memories'?"
"People will remain oblivious to your presence unless you are willing to reveal yourself."
"Just as people fail to acknowledge the existence of black swans until they encounter one?"
Memories come in various forms. Some are trivial and heartwarming, while others are grand and expansive. Some are gentle and meek, while others are wild and untamed... When she became a Memokeeper, her memories became tranquil and serene, like the calm waves that finally found their destined harbor.
- A Memokeeper's memories
"What comes to your mind?" The Memokeeper asked.
As she opened her eyes, fragments of memories swirled around her.
"People tend to believe they are facing the present and the future, yet fail to realize that we are all, in fact, moving toward the past."
Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences. However, she is different... I've sensed her unwavering determination and profound respect for memories themselves. Following tradition, I asked her three questions before making her a Memokeeper.
"Are you willing to dedicate your entire life to collecting memories?"
"I am."
"Are you prepared to relinquish your physical form and accept the transformation?"
"I am."
"If one day you cease to exist, what legacy will you leave behind for the world?"
"My memories. They are seeds from the past and will be reborn in the future."
"i saw the figure of a woman, gracefully leaping and transforming amidst images and patterns. no... i'm not crazy, i did indeed see 'her.' i remember her voice, its velvety texture, and the colorful cards in her hands, imbued with some sort of magic... oh, and she invited me to partake in fortune-telling. she said, 'whether you want to foresee happiness or misfortune in the future, retrieve lost possessions, or seek unexpected gains... all i need is an honest story, for the past and the future are overlapped on the same point of a single circle.' my head spun, and she exuded such gentleness. i talked so much to her, and she patiently listened to my ramblings... and then, following her divination results, i retrieved a lost mirror for a guest of the hotel! oh, you asked what i said to her? oh, nothing important... just some rumors about the past..."
