Momiji. Love Called Restoration.
She said,
"I'm a restoration engineer."
Her tone was calm. She offered no further explanation.
Restoration. What does she restore? Buildings? Paintings? Old documents?
I thought about it for a long time. My imagination wandered. What if she restores food?
When I finally told her, she laughed. "That’s what you were worrying about? You could’ve just asked me. You could’ve called or texted… I guess I didn’t explain properly. Sorry for making things complicated."
On the way there, I kept imagining again and again what “restoration engineer” really meant. Then, at last, I stood in front of her studio. When the door opened and I looked inside—I understood.
Ah. This job fits her perfectly. She was an audio restoration engineer—someone who brings old recorded sounds back to life. In the industry, they called it an “audio archivist.”
