動盪過後,貝塔再度睜開緊閉的雙眼,從眼簾裡看到是一整幅生鏽鐵牆和鋼管掛在通道兩旁的景象,幾盞印著軍隊徽章的掛牆燈以麻繩懸在鐵管上,玻璃罩內透出光芒照亮整所地下設施。475Please respect copyright.PENANAyHfEzNJRGg

「以太,這裡是什麼地方?」她正想開口問待在旁邊的以太,卻見他掩住右肩,一道道深紅色血流從肩膀上大個破口流出;金屬子彈深陷在皮肉內,引起湧泉般的血液淌出。475Please respect copyright.PENANAmFP9jMbLEI

「妳不用管我!」以太喊住正焦急上前他檢查傷勢的貝塔,然後便自行把傷口中央那陷入的金屬彈頭徒手拔出,吞下連貫痛楚再道:「以為用這顆銅彈就可以幹掉我嗎?太天真了,人類。」475Please respect copyright.PENANA5YL4xW69aG

他一手丟掉染血彈頭,深知自己不擅長使用治癒魔法,隨便撥動周圍元素充當紗布壓在傷處,勉強止住了血流。475Please respect copyright.PENANAbeUMMoLA7x

時間一分一秒流逝,頭上便一直傳出硬物拍打著鐵蓋的巨響,其後又突然響起一陣低沉的喝罵聲:475Please respect copyright.PENANAm4av7pkY4j

敲打聲愈發沉重且猛烈,逼使兩人抬起急促步伐,穿梭於縱橫交錯的狹窄小路裡,與時間的競賽瞬即展開。疾馳不息在破舊而陰暗的地下設施內遊走,沿著掛牆吊燈來到光明盡頭,黑漆一片的去路前放著一堆路障,微弱光線照射下見掛在中間的牌上寫有「危險!非請勿進!」幾個手寫大字。475Please respect copyright.PENANAMrARzE8ved

以太走到前方,以左臂化成的光劍向前一揮,從隨便搭設成路障的雜物堆中開出一條小路。收起光劍後他又淡定地唸起咒語,打開手掌讓四周元素聚集成強烈輝光,瞬間照亮無明前路。475Please respect copyright.PENANAe98r5up0Zu

伴隨以太踏入未知地帶的貝塔則一直默不作聲,只注視著他拿著明亮光團的手腕。不自覺地回想起過往置身同是無明的廢屋裡,白銀手腕上那耀眼輝光使她在黑暗中也能看見前路、還有他白皙的臉廓。475Please respect copyright.PENANAAM4ud2PH2O

頃刻間,時間彷彿如她所願止住了下來。棕髮下那翠綠雙瞳溫柔看著她,無意間又一次激發起她心底無盡的悔意,上半身早已投到飾金裝甲的懷抱裡抽泣著。475Please respect copyright.PENANAIfieMTSdHc

等到起伏不穩的情緒稍為消散,腦袋再度接收到從緩睜兩眼所映入的景象,她才赫然發現,照亮前途的光輝再不復見,四周只餘下一片昏天黑地。她換上滿臉彷徨,加快步履摸黑尋覓光明去向。然而,四周漆黑恍如蔽起她的方向感,身邊亦再沒有伸手為她點亮前途的「他」,照耀著寂寞空虛的心靈。身旁空無一人,死寂環繞著冷凝的空氣,昔日景物只有在心中反覆演奏,幻想那再留不住的期盼。475Please respect copyright.PENANA7swyh2jfjH

經過多番尋覓,身體終於把僅存體力悉數耗完,屈膝跪坐在冰冷的鋼地板上;唯一的希望亦枯萎成為絕望,在少女的泣號中散失殆盡。475Please respect copyright.PENANAtnTr8878iu

萬念俱灰間,垂頭間卻見裙腳左側一絲微弱光輝映進眼簾。手心插進口袋裡,拿出正是那一直守候在口袋深處的小紫花,雖然早已被連串動蕩摧殘至遍體鱗傷,皺碎的花瓣卻仍眨露著微光。475Please respect copyright.PENANAWRFXDjomtD

「這朵花是你送給我的,可是之後你我便分隔兩方了。」她緊握著幼小莖幹,對他的所有情感都寄托其中。在以太面前強行撐起的決心,在與他失散在黑暗中以後,就如同手上紫花一般,直面潰散邊緣。475Please respect copyright.PENANAUdBjZNeFWd

直到某個時間點,突如的畫面衝擊著沾血的目眶,久違的光輝蓋過紫色小花的微暉,輕輕拭去眼簾上之血流,抬頭望向前方讓映像清晰投射到腦海裡。475Please respect copyright.PENANAGasaKOn3MC

「貝塔,終於找到妳了。」熟悉的聲音,響遍身邊每一個角落。眼前映出一個男生的身影,在貝塔眼裡,模糊輪廓披著白銀裝甲以及靛藍披風,手持眩目火光慢步靠近。475Please respect copyright.PENANAdMcYJ9qLke

頃刻間,泛紅淚水隨微笑的臉頰流下。激動地投進他的懷抱之中,以行動對他訴說著心中那說不出的話……縱使她知道這一切可能只是一場可笑的美夢,終會淪為她強烈渴望下所虛構出來的妄想。475Please respect copyright.PENANAkh13skMGSE

「阿爾法,你會原諒我嗎?」兩雙足印走過陰暗走廊,貝塔依靠在他側旁,緊緊摟著那讓她感到溫暖的臂膀。心裡日漸增大的歉疚一直驅使她逐步遠離他身邊,而那種難以用一字一語形容的微妙感覺,卻在另一邊使勁把她推到他的懷裏。其力量之大,早已遠超心中一切抱愧之意,令這種負面意識只能透過言語默默透露。475Please respect copyright.PENANAoQuJK2A2tL

對方帶著疑惑的聲線,那模糊不清的臉龐斜眼瞪視著她;儘管她多番嘗試擦亮眼睛,嘗試看清他的容貌,眼前仍然是一個不見五官、影影綽綽的映像。至此,恐懼再度萌芽在虛弱心境中。雙手緊緊箍住對方那手臂,不願就此放開,生怕只要鬆開了手,就再也無法留住他,無法再讓這場幻夢延續下去。475Please respect copyright.PENANA3wVQUUErey

「阿爾法,就算你無法原諒我對你所作的惡行……但我求求你,不要再離開我,可以嗎?」她放棄一切顧慮,率直把心底之意一一吐出。「我知道,都是我的錯……你可以這輩子都不原諒我,但我不能失去你!」475Please respect copyright.PENANACPSQkYj37i

在這個世界活了數不清的年月,不論是君王、還是過去準備賜死的「目標」,無一能讓她有著此等渴求得到對方的強烈意識。慾望漸漸從瞇眼間曝露出其醜陋一面,眼前景象卻又漸趨模糊起來。親切的身影在逐步閉上的雙眼裡淡入黑漆中,把虛幻的希冀和信念逐一帶走,眼皮下只剩滿遍暗色,魂魄亦驟然回到現實之中,結束這短暫的邂逅。
