Cry... makes them come..."Jane's inability to articulate her thoughts left her in a state of distress. She wanted to tell her parents when she was hungry, sleepy, or simply in need of comfort.

**Growing Curiosities**

Jane's journey continued into her third year of life, and with each passing day, her world expanded. Her memories of her past life remained vague, but a growing familiarity with her new surroundings and environment helped fill the gaps.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "I am Jane. This is my life. My world."

The bustling city of Los Angeles, with its towering buildings, palm trees, and the ocean's rhythmic waves, was now her home. The world of the early 2000s provided a colorful backdrop to her life, and her parents ensured she had a diverse range of experiences.

**John (father)**: "Look, Jane, those are the Santa Monica Mountains. You'll explore them one day."

**Sarah (mother)**: "And here's the Griffith Observatory. We'll take you there too."

Her parents were passionate about showing her the richness of human culture and history, taking her to museums, art galleries, and cultural events. Through these outings, Jane's curiosity deepened as she explored the expressions of human creativity and imagination.

**Sarah (mother)**: "Jane, what do you think of that painting?"

**Jane (internal thought)**: "It's colorful, and I like the shapes."

**John (father)**: "Art has a way of speaking to the soul."

Despite her growing familiarity with this new life, there were moments when the nagging sensation of missing something from her past troubled her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she sensed a void.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "What is it that I can't remember?"

She wasn't sure how to express this feeling to her parents, so it lingered silently within her.

In the meantime, her budding language skills allowed her to communicate more clearly with her family, bridging the gap between her and the world.

**John (father)**: "Jane, can you say 'butterfly' again?"

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Butterfly."

**Sarah (mother)**: "That's right, sweetheart. You're doing so well."

Jane's ability to express herself was growing in tandem with her understanding of the world, and her family continued to nurture her inquisitiveness, knowing that this chapter of her life was just the beginning of a remarkable journey.

** Experiencing Childhood**

As Jane moved from her third year into her fifth, her memories of her past life remained a hazy mirage, obscured by the brightness of the life she now led. Her mind had grown, and she began to grasp the complexities of human existence.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "I remember colors, sensations, and laughter."

Life in Los Angeles was vibrant and engaging, from the shimmering ocean waves to the endless blue skies. The city's streets bustled with diverse cultures, each adding to the tapestry of human history and experience.

**John (father)**: "Jane, see those street performers? They're expressing themselves through dance."

**Sarah (mother)**: "And over there, that's Little Tokyo. You'll explore all the flavors of the world here."

Jane's inquisitive nature now flourished in the environment her parents had carefully chosen for her. The museums, libraries, and art galleries that she frequented expanded her understanding of the human condition.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Books hold stories. Stories are life."

Language flowed effortlessly from her, and she engaged in conversations with her parents that were surprisingly insightful for her age. Her fascination with the diversity of human experiences deepened.

**Sarah (mother)**: "Jane, what do you think about the stars? They're like diamonds in the night sky."

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Stars are stories too. I want to know them all."

But beneath the surface of her joyous exploration, an undercurrent of unease continued to gnaw at her. She couldn't help but wonder about the origin of this life and the void left by her forgotten past.

**John (father)**: "Jane, let's go to the park today."

**Sarah (mother)**: "We can have a picnic, and you can watch the other children play."

The park was a world of its own, where children laughed, ran, and played, each with their unique stories. Jane watched them with both curiosity and a longing she couldn't articulate.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Am I missing something important?"

At the age of five, Jane's understanding had matured, but the mysteries of her existence still remained unsolved. The warm embrace of her parents offered solace, but her quest for answers was far from over.

** Exploring Memories**

As Jane approached her fifth year, her mental faculties continued to develop. She embraced language with increasing mastery and delighted in her parents' stories of life in Los Angeles. Yet, the mysteries of her past life occasionally resurfaced like fleeting shadows in her consciousness.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Los Angeles is like a dream, but I remember something... something different."

On one sunny afternoon in Griffith Park, where she loved to play, she watched the glittering cityscape below. The same park, where the Observatory's telescopes connected her to the mysteries of the universe, seemed like a place of cosmic significance.

**John (father)**: "Jane, see the city down there? It's vast and full of secrets."

**Sarah (mother)**: "And right above us, you can almost touch the stars."

Their voices resonated with Jane, but in the silent moments, her thoughts wandered into the past. She had vague recollections of a different life, one filled with experiences she couldn't quite grasp.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "I remember... a mountain path, cold air, and solitude."

A brief memory flashed in her mind's eye, the sensation of standing alone on a snowy path, surrounded by towering mountains.

**John (father)**: "You seem deep in thought, Jane."

**Sarah (mother)**: "What are you thinking about?"

Her parents' voices pulled her back to the present, but the memory of the mountains remained vivid.

**Jane (internal thought)**: "Mountains, a sense of purpose... a name?"

A longing for that lost knowledge persisted, and her heart ached with the weight of forgotten stories. Jane was not just a product of her current existence but a puzzle piece of an intricate and complex narrative spanning multiple lifetimes.

**John (father)**: "Jane, it's time to go home."

**Sarah (mother)**: "We'll be back here soon."

In that moment, as they left Griffith Park behind, Jane looked back one more time at the glimmering city below, as if seeking answers from the cosmos. Her journey was far from complete, and the memories that remained hidden would guide her toward an understanding that transcended the boundaries of one life.
