地上的灰塵厚比地毯，讓行過的人印下清晰的足跡。友梨扶著灰矇矇的牆壁，續步跟著印痕前行。
即使是仿真人，視力卻和常人相差無幾，昏暗的環境使內心醞釀不安。狹隘的通道一直伸延，直致她到達一個寬敞的房間，黃昏的顏色隱約照進來，叫不出名字的傢俬雜物靜靜的填滿了空間，好像一群熟睡的動物群落。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MQRo4g5Ls
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMV6UUV694
友梨停下腳步，寂靜的空氣夾帶著呼吸聲。她順著聲音走去，繞過由雜物組成的迷宮，在終點找到她所追尋的。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbNSkyDJUt
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUirOTVXU2G
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxTdTPnR1z
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWmEVCxu4y
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxL7DBpXFT
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSOEbV3opz
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyduUf2FIW4
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObW7O4O1K
「黑暗和狹小的地方讓人安心吧，我也一樣喜歡這樣的地方，只要待著就能使頭腦靜下來。」友梨說，｢回去吧，情況會好起來的。｣430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFeA5A5mB9
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91yBi2JNI
「我不回去。」她說。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS69DbT24L
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0bfSie94
「聽過大小姐的話後我也很怕，覺得已經沒救了，只有死路一條。但安德魯說，我們仿真人只要持續喝能量飲品便能過活。不用煩惱食水問題，也不用維持體溫，不怕蚊蟲，不怕野生動物。我們這副身體要在荒島生存其實意外地簡單。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniMXrNS0cg
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qAqGerPRg
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwuPmPJ1xt
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc2RngxW2J
「不要過來！」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBllyF4uqRl
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KIgoVAyAr
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7u7vlMbY4
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XyFjqI3JD
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxmsGh6ALE
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlmzPfYMPL
『好的，請保重。』平時的友梨大概會這樣回答，然後轉身離開。然而，她打從心底裡，覺得此時絕對不能棄亞里於不顧。這股毫無根據而又違反理性的衝動，也許能算是一種本能吧。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF4C8A8KAb
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmteRNA2wxP
她再度邁開步伐，小巧的步音如同鐘擺一樣『踏…踏…』。
對亞里來說，每一下都是如雷貫耳。她的身體縮得更小，巴不得化作一溜青煙，鑽過雜物的狹縫逃去。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6FS5Ha6bm
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqH3gTHvQO
隨著距離拉近，亞里的輪廓亦漸見清晰，除此以外，腳邊的一個物件映入眼簾。就像被刺痛了眼睛，友梨不禁嘶聲。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPYOWfYy12
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUKXIv7Vc
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvIaHVgu2s
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT5uHqGI6c
亞里把玻璃推到身後，好像事情能當沒發生過。這反而讓友梨的視線轉移到亞里身上，她左邊的衣袖深色了一大片。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKlAudJVp
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDHu9fFvw7
友梨蹲下來，與亞里視線同高。她伸出手，她往後縮。她抓住濕透了的手臂，她放棄掙扎。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1pOx9AVn
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH2qoytBF7
她把她的手臂拉到面前，影子裡看不見衣袖的顏色，也許這是件萬幸的好事。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYf474dv2h
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMdb32V2R2
亞里淚眼婆娑的目光照得友梨一陣熱，她突然意識到現在的氣氛十分羞恥。空氣好像蒙上了一道白霞，訕訕的視線越見模糊。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCitsCfwij
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQsYCXmYdV
友梨咽一口水，給自己下定決心。指尖捏住衣袖的一角，緩緩的向上拉開。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoSv8MdBPq
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT3KkHFpGR
各種恐怖的聯想像彈出式廣告一樣擾亂她的心神。時間續秒過去，聯想亦續一得到了印證。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBR0XHJOhF
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EYOXwq4Ob
臂彎像一條被砍伐的樹木。恐怖的痕跡佈滿了整條前臂，不斷的有液體從傷口裡滲出，凝聚，滴到地上。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCw4NIhf7R
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zOIPnzWW
「我甚麼也感覺不到。」亞里說，｢甚麼都沒有……以前只需要割三刀便能鎮靜下來。但是，這副身體感覺不到痛，無論割多少次也不痛。我需要痛。｣430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqfNGMHttm
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchjZmKNkIm
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrvNpG0yd
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPf2pi2zck
「對不起，我以後不會的。不要跟別人說，求求你。我不要被當怪胎，友梨，求求你。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqBJClonAT
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ODW9JMnG
面對亞里氣急敗壞的懇求，友梨甚麼都沒說，只是靜靜的靠了過去。亞里未弄懂友梨的本意，身體卻自然的配合著。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZLtRIc5nq
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc9Rjl2uCI
友梨坐於亞里的大腿中間，拉著她的手臂放在肚前環抱自己，對方的體温從背脊傳來。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Z5Te1YPp
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrNV5KKebh
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sQ2UvBcY5
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJYix0ion
「當心，會割傷你的手。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuGJL2j2bJ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z5BtDDipq
「這正是我要做的。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XPj5cV6Au
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ331sUbLicZ
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVSsptVss2
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHF8FX0OOb
「割我的手。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1iOsOm2Vt
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy7AX6qOSK
亞里霎時接不上話，呆滯片刻才說：｢別說傻話，你怎麼能代替我——｣430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZ01hFvSL
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBss2LPYvIZ
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUULzYkIVy4

「會。」她說。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzKa6KuVCv

「三刀而已，可以喔。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOnKgFe2zm
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PqgNzocxV
亞里依然猶豫，友梨勾著她的衣袖，讓玻璃接近左臂。只要亞里拒絕，她隨時能甩開友梨。可是，她任由友梨帶領，將玻璃壓到手臂上。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3spuDux4z
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby6hon22OT
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XXQSLkE1v
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEtqAaTrFl
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5KKbZemV6
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOfyqvTe7b
「嗯。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyenAhoKCFZ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFkHaBxiXe
為了更好施力，二人調整姿勢，讓身體貼得更密。友梨右手摟住亞里的肩頭，讓她的下巴枕在自己的肩膀上。亞里要承受二人份的重量，她背靠牆壁，左手撐地穩住平衡。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT70KtYPOQ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmKqrpOuAQ
玻璃整好角度，左臂亦靠了過來。玻璃抵住幼小的前臂，在上一道淺痕的下方，綿力由左至右。玻璃輕易切入，撓起一層皮。液體從縫中溢出，流到地上。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LHRSXjkh
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fbG7KvyTt
「對不起……」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTq1yC2ydc
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHRRPn07jX
「沒關係，下回小力一點。」430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fn24PGJYJ
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y892vPmou
兩臂自動復位，再一次，玻璃緩慢地劃過手臂。皮膚於玻璃後綻開，液體從底下滲出，被表面張力拉住停留。左手輕輕握拳，順著玻璃切口旋轉，精準的畫完第三道印痕。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNhffnSfda
430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPeKh4ssHe
急速尖銳的呼吸漸催平靜，黃昏色的陽光打亮她們的身體。兩人都不願做出呼吸以外的多餘動作，靜靜的，直致陽光從她們身上移開。430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM6zVdeeqt
