2161年2月20日，中午十二點，教育中心C區424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNnzgRnyA

教育中心C區位於北歐，為世界各大知名學校的集中地，居住於此的不外乎學生與老師。愛書成痴的尼可拉斯爸爸──凱薩．克里斯托多羅普洛斯，第一代水果塔「書蟲」，正隱居於此，一個人過著與書為伴的生活。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0xIR0ITcK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQ367lXlc
老婆葛蕾絲、兒子尼可拉斯，外加媳婦（？）派翠克全是神與畜，大家都住在遙遠的B區，凱薩倒不覺得寂寞。一個男人活到他這種歲數，生活不能用寂寞形容，而是邋遢。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOD615C5V
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz6axHxrpr
「啊──」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRa614jGPM
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQshzUuBBSQ
打了長長的哈欠。中午才從床上起來，凱薩還是覺得很睏。要不是被肚子餓醒，他應該能睡到下午三點，甚至更晚。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0slsz17wgN
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOdkQSuhIy
紫色的長髮隨便紮在後方，瀏海用黑色髮箍固定，臉上戴著金屬框眼鏡，忘記刮的鬍渣長在下巴。凱薩穿著舒服的透氣T恤和短褲，將煮開的熱水倒入泡麵碗中──沒錯，這是他的早餐兼午餐。明明是希波克拉底一脈的創辦人，卻過著超級不健康的生活。凱薩根本不在意。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XySOk77g4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYADmOGIdF
身為第一代水果塔，經歷過弟弟的死亡、夏悠的瘋狂、被高宇維暫停時間、水果塔給了老婆……凱薩覺得這世界已經和他無關。他不求多，只求自己每天有看不完的書。書海讓他平靜，他甘願餘生都淹死在裡面。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivoZreRHKM
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMOw4R9OIj
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq42RJCOXOm
「凱凱，怎麼又吃泡麵啊？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFCB2LbVTL
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGHzPSg1rS
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYaFnxfHIz
但世界就是不肯放過他。明明想淹死在書海，總有人會把他撈出來、扔到海灘上曬乾，比如飄在旁邊的這個女人。凱薩的額頭爆出青筋。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fvu12FwLs
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFqmRZKxkq
「白絃！說過多少次，不要一聲不響就出現在我家！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy8mpFWWO2
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOA6zuv3Jw
說完，凱薩扔了把菜刀，被白絃輕鬆閃開。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARvz6Wu9Am
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZeFPynV7V
「這是看到老朋友的態度嗎？凱凱，你真是糟糕的男人。」白絃飄在空中，鼓嘴抱怨。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBRKHgpZFt
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQY7x5EK9p
「閉嘴，非法入侵民宅的傢伙沒資格說話！還有，不要裝可愛，很噁心！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbETsOR1pOa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhC70tgQfO
凱薩將煮好的泡麵端到……不太能稱為餐桌的地方。小小的木桌堆滿書，凱薩騰出一個角落放他的碗，大口吃起麵來。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75LInxDHb4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQTtYvutAZ
「你家怎麼這麼髒啊？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOZqTShX36
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEtHJe2jYW
反正趕不走，凱薩不理白絃，任她在自己家飄來飄去。白絃看著積滿灰塵的書，嫌棄地說：「要是尤里里看到，一定會用火車撞你。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIinyEk8XiO
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR5jcDPq8j
「吵死了。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2OL0lSLU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcHWfViKmx
仔細想，這是凱薩這個月，第一次跟外送員以外的人說話。他不討厭白絃，也不可能討厭她，凱薩只嫌她麻煩。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim97jk2OfN
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCS0drArqq
「艾莉絲在做什麼？」白絃突然問他。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBKivAXzBz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHT6HVRP62
「誰知道。」凱薩說：「在夏家吧。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡple7lJSEz5
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZK0kdumlx
「她為什麼老是待在家？夏家明明無聊的要死。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4mbkkMZi7
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS60HpcGwu
「誰知道。」凱薩重複一樣的句型：「在等妳吧。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyrnvSAlUr
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44yZ7mG3RG
「……。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1XUUJSQg
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMbbFZSuCw
白絃沒有回話，凱薩也懶得說話。他是白絃和夏悠的見證者，他知道「系兒」和「小悠」曾經多麼親密，也知道她們最後如何結束。凱薩不願回想，反正不關他的事。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB0FsuPLTu
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmjEx3QrI4
「聽說妳被里奧揍得很慘。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6PdtTKWwV
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhDyoNYcZo
凱薩突然說。白絃有點不高興，「四年前的事了，提這幹嘛？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV8d4Ggoyl
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWB5zV7XDI
「不值得提嗎？」凱薩看著粉紅色的她，「連紅國王都打不贏，妳到底衰弱到什麼程度？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbxOBhL59F
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEkAPniNZ
白絃大方承認：「我現在打不贏我弟弟。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2UUo7yaf
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKUg190ZaT
「真是災難。」凱薩挑眉，「要是李仲翔回來，妳要怎麼辦？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXxHiFlTY
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jyffYil4
「放心，他可愛的孫子並不簡單，不會這麼快回來。」白絃非常肯定，「仲翔一定很苦惱，呵呵。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk8xQJLbNB
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8MSLdRY3I
凱薩不知道白絃在笑什麼，但她這麼說，李仲翔的事就不用擔心。這女人雖然奇怪，卻很謹慎，不會亂說話。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJtfXUfWC
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEFRT5xH3C
「這是什麼？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHCa5gi2hd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gQctWq1op
白絃發現一個漂亮的黑色盒子，在亂亂的房子裡非常突兀。她把盒子拿起來，凱薩立刻跳腳：「喂！不要亂碰！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8CiMftztW
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhhtLGgiAN
白絃不理他，打開盒子，裡面是一條非常漂亮的項鍊，藍色的寶石點綴著白色水晶。凱薩怒吼：「妳給我放下，那是我要送葛蕾絲的！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaK9IrLDQ9
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YADimUA0l
盯著項鍊，白絃不知為何陷入沉思，凱薩講什麼都沒聽見。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRyA7rizYJ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38uWVqtqHI
「喂！聽不懂人話嗎？我叫妳放下！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLMUttS1H
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73MbzNVXJz
凱薩提高音量，白絃才恢復那張頑皮的笑臉，竟然問：「凱凱，這條項鍊，能不能借我？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuVi11aigF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwMZH5WMOt
「啥！？」火山爆發，「當然不准！那是我花好多錢買的！！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjhrQY0ole
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecwFzbzH7G
「錢的問題嗎？太好了！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGWMo1nMdx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCZad6x5oI
說完，白絃拿出一大疊鈔票。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFSNlZr2q4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ev0NzLHOO
「妳哪來這麼多錢？」凱薩困惑，「妳不是無業遊民？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRR6tPKCK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCE6Rq1vt
「我兒子是Platinum的領導人。」白絃說：「他們很孝順，每個月會給我孝養金。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdHLXSLnor
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnobsCMjbUw
「妳是在挖苦我親子關係惡劣嗎？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmtyQi3jdH
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q41FiXsoi
「嘿，至少你還有葛蕾絲，這比什麼都重要。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ1901YHml
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6vyb4iUT
凱薩見過白絃的丈夫──金允燦。他活這麼久，金允燦是凱薩唯一承認的好人。他知道金允燦對白絃有多重要，也知道他離開時、白絃多麼傷心。凱薩什麼都知道，但他不去回想，也不想多講。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduwl5I1VjN
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wtQidb7AE
這世上，除了凱薩，已經沒有人知道白絃、認識白絃，從頭到尾見證她這一百年，發生了哪些事。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBUwZSmN9k
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUCoZKxe7B
跟其他第一代不同，凱薩、白絃、夏悠、李仲翔，他們四人有好長一段時間，都跟在阿道夫．懷特身邊學習，如今只剩下他──他是白絃名符其實的老朋友，只剩凱薩能給她一百年前的熟悉感、歸屬感。她常闖入這間亂七八糟的房子，仔細想，真是件悲傷的事。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT327vNwjW
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetln29mPwX
「唉。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjE9438zs0
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyWI3SaBiE
凱薩忍不住嘆氣。弟弟死了，家人都在高宇維底下做事，自己或多或少，也在懷念這份熟悉感和歸屬感吧？424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK5P13DBt5
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjrLtkNcAn
否則，罵歸罵，凱薩卻不趕人，任白絃在家裡飄來飄去。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze4tcTyTVl
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiaIZGZ0ET
「妳聽說了嗎？里奧把她女兒送去薩拉凱爾。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt348Dr3t8
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FS1bjHRLN
凱薩隨便開了話題。白絃竟然不知道，回頭問：「什麼？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsoKh6QvcF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUrXqZn7Au
「葛蕾絲前兩天告訴我的，為了交換小約翰的繼承人。」凱薩很訝異，「妳不知道？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGCj1A9LmH
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j0sGfo2yf
「我所有情報都來自兒子，他們這方面很厲害。」白絃在空中盤腿，「我最近沒回Platinum，沒更新到這個消息。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oEjyCNaPD
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixLhddOZRd
「總之，里奧她女兒正在薩拉凱爾。」凱薩嘖一聲，「事情沒這麼簡單，除了小約翰的繼承人，瘋帽一定還想幹什麼。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YJoawGPa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUsCEtUvgi
「小約翰的繼承人……」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfChGSpXB6
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOKlwhhtzq
白絃沉思。這四年，高宇維一定很困擾，找不到李仲翔無法吞噬李晴煬的原因，才想利用紅心傑克與睡鼠的共鳴。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXlYNCpJK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf0kYZEK0f
白絃不擔心李晴煬，她知道──問題不在李仲翔多強，而是李晴煬願不願意給他吞噬。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhd8xiYVr2
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P6WpIob2K
「葛蕾絲也問了妳的事。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeUqO6qPiM
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPxa0V1Hyy
也許是默契，凱薩竟然延續白絃的思緒，跟她說：「她不明白，妳為什麼不直接殺了李晴煬。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHzUQSr6P
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB05Zzi0LQ
白絃瞇起眼睛，歪頭，「我為什麼要殺他？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO6tolfc7x
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnbq9zM71p
「這是阻止李仲翔最快的方式。」凱薩說：「確實，這符合妳以往的風格，很像妳會做的事。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cyIVNM4zb
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXp0bLyG3
「是喔──」白絃轉了轉紫色的眼珠，「你怎麼回答？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fwj42re62
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC6UGQMOGM
「我沒有回答她，但我知道答案。」凱薩聳肩，「因為我知道妳想做什麼。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGccfy6tcKL
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqdKsspLM6
「哦？」白絃故意又問：「我想做什麼？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqs5s48sjF
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJ8R80miy
「妳希望李仲翔回來，但不是透過吞噬李晴煬──」凱薩闔上書本，「而是像尤里和我兒子那樣，第一代與第三代共存。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfvxEGYZUj
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVA5fx8B4
「……。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagN7U0yTdb
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqIK4Pk3i8
「這樣的共存，第一代將以小約翰希望的方式、達到永生；有自主意識的第三代，也會自己做出選擇。這樣不只確保水果塔傳承，一百年前的悲劇也不會再發生。」凱薩看向白絃，「而且，現在這個艾莉絲不是夏悠，根本不會被妳或李仲翔影響，不是嗎？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtzhu8LTVa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEqVv5hCZi
凱薩說完，兩人都陷入沉默，心照不宣。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSszRByN4
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyicn6CR6OL
一百年前，在五坪大的研究室，夏悠窩在沙發看書，凱薩在列購書清單，李仲翔按照字母順序整理書櫃，白絃在跟阿道夫老師吵架……他們個性不同，但師出同門、同樣接受阿道夫老師的教育，常常針對書上的議題討論、辯論，有時針鋒相對，這讓他們瞭解了彼此，也影響了彼此。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceT6k8kj3m
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y8n9c8MCC
他們四人，和阿道夫老師一起，經歷過一段平靜快樂的時光，直到其他水果塔──瘋帽、笑臉、黛娜、假海龜、睡鼠、公爵夫人、三月兔出現，他們才開始忙碌。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIWy6TnyPu
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFkN1yffzh
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41440i6Anr
凱薩、夏悠、白絃、李仲翔。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bovk8U4du
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OxYBwvrlN
四個絕頂聰明的人，歷史上的針鋒相對，那只是故事的一頁。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CDRobMaE
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5HUtpamln
他們的關係不是針鋒相對，而是惺惺相惜。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiC76iNALt
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9TYQv5iG
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPo0tvJQBy
「說不定，在某個平行時空，我們四個還是在一起，窩在阿道夫老師的研究室。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6futRtmFx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLtGabsPdK
白絃露出懷念的表情，也很感傷。那是在別人面前，絕對不會露出的、屬於「白絃」的真正心情。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQF8B5ISG5
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hosKGR9OU
「夏悠不能回來，阿道夫老師不想回來。」凱薩低頭，「但李仲翔可以，妳不想放過這個機會。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOJ7PVC9Z
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwvrnG57aW
「……嗯。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdXbbWigU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN22cCBXScP
白絃點頭，兩手摀著臉。凱薩聽見她在哭。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEFI78tepo
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGhbmhLTc2
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmdTS8j2yd
沒錯，白絃在哭。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANluXWJChJ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeeFfLwK3o
她已經很久，沒在別人面前哭了。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAeWqdyn6a
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSuFA2bwXx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ByTwUcDj
「凱凱……」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizA8q9sfEr
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vn8i1YpGd
白絃的手還是放在臉上。她哭著問：「你還記得……阿道夫老師他，怎麼評價我們四個嗎？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE5VzI3L4M
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhGN0E1KoX
「當然。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcoCPyMhhG
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0FoV2T32
凱薩討厭回憶，然而，他記得比誰都清楚。他討厭自己的記憶力，過了一百年，還是忘不掉。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVKRfBMYd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1tWWkoqo
「他說，夏悠是典型的『自以為是』，李仲翔『注定會失敗』，妳是『活在自己的世界』，至於我……」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvb2fUbbcD
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWXMSenOaR
「『有社交障礙的科學怪人』。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7HiO2yBcK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZHab772ku
白絃雖然在哭，但說到這個詞，她就想起那時候，阿道夫老師用多麼認真的表情說這個詞，及凱薩那傻眼貓咪的表情，她忍不住笑了。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWZWzaHKkj
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZNbdLm04
「真是慧眼獨到啊，那個死老頭。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrlQtfGea
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mhWc4mm8n
凱薩癟嘴，又好氣又好笑地說：「對照我們後來的遭遇，他的評價完全正確。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqOxvYgCa
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyu9NH90lB
「是啊。」白絃的手放下來，眼淚終於止住，「如果他沒那麼早死，後來的事情都不會發生。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRKgJyKgt
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpwxcrnHml
「沒辦法，誰叫他作息不正常。一大把年紀的人，每天只睡三小時，身子不爛掉才怪。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ46MiaBdm
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRjMAiYVJ6
凱薩嘆氣，白絃也沒繼續這個話題。這一百年，他們聊過太多「如果」，假設太多都沒用，悲劇就是已經發生，後悔是最多餘的情緒。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLf53sjeju
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdGkKqOkx
「白絃。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTS9BqM7i7
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC87LrHmp14
「嗯？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOSwC62J0
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZCAgkX0PP
「等事情告一段落，」凱薩表示：「我也打算走了。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcjQtOGQ8j
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3on2tWJCL
「……。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWmqmJZDXQ
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434dC1NNnG
言下之意，凱薩跟公爵夫人一樣，想放棄自己的永生，讓停止的沙漏流盡，回歸仙境。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa9uu2GcI5
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4DAuEmqjT
「水果塔給葛蕾絲，希波克拉底不歸我管，尤里的水果塔也被我兒子繼承，這個現世已經不需要我。我這條命能多活一百年，也差不多了。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7CJgNiYpP
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVsuBbpJky
提到死亡，凱薩並不害怕，白絃也不悲傷。對他們而言，死亡不等於離去，何況凱薩的水果塔在葛蕾絲那，書蟲會活在葛蕾絲體內。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcfrbCKP5V
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pXPZCWZXa
「你不想見仲翔嗎？」白絃問凱薩。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUEEHu735
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLaMLLrhJJ
「我不恨他。講句噁心的，我跟妳一樣想他。」凱薩閉眼，「但我不是妳，可以心平氣和站在他面前、聽他說對不起。尤里死，我跟他的關係就結束，這是兩回事。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkuLsmDPo
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIqPk2TL1
「……這樣啊。」白絃的聲音放輕，「確實，仲翔一定也這麼想。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPI8Wxyzak
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjkkWZBm4D
凱薩抬頭，看著飄在空中的白絃，用久違的稱呼叫她：「小白。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHPJMQcyG8
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpByrWGmoU
「……？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn5KcqMBVz
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDVplQGkJ
「我知道妳在堅持什麼，也同意妳的堅持；但有些東西，無論妳是白絃、獅鷲、或其他身分，都無法讓它恢復原狀，就像我們四個。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL5wDSzGjd
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34vDdDihTH
「……。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErX3culrd0
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1Lar0J4Z
「小約翰的預言不是預言，是給妳的忠告。」凱薩語重心長，「時間一到，妳必須放手。『水果塔的歸宿是仙境』，別忘了，妳也是水果塔，妳遲早得回去。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHbiw8a3E
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkAQlzrQHE
「……。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKASgTj62
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX3Gu6FxAj
白絃沉默很久，表情不像難過，不像生氣，也不像失落，而是「我知道」──她不可能沒想過這些。凱薩提醒她，那不是「很久以後才會發生」，而是「隨時都可能發生」的事。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F0U91AtYx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsfxylimZJ
「凱凱還是老樣子，很愛操心呢！」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFIqYITVU
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYJemuJ4Mg
白絃沒有夏悠的果斷，沒有李仲翔的細膩，沒有凱薩的聰明，她的優點是謹慎，而且，她有另外三人沒有的特質──很聽話。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnF79J6yK
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQirkaUTrt
「我會記得的，不用擔心。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgmRDhkYca
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGGIKmhVZA
白絃恢復成平時有精神的模樣，看起來不像哭過。424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpWGwhtuAx
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb87MpnoIHt
「你的事，要告訴葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯嗎？」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5REqBqBj
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqjXw8qI0p
「時候到了，我會跟他們講，妳不要多嘴。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc590g2qneT

「是是，聽你的，都聽你的。」424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtd32ZcS9
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVXDfq2VX
