天空掛著濃厚的密雲，拍打海灘的浪花格外灰白。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdOhJkSpN

廣闊的海灘上圍起一片鹽田。安德魯直起腰，鏟子插在身邊，抹去額頭上不存在的熱汗。她回頭，看著田裡一座座白色尖錐，成功感油然而生。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSfVai15VP
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl2zG6xGFs
幾天前，祐嘉提出了製作臘肉過冬的計劃。醃製臘肉需要大量的鹽，所以決定以曬鹽的方式用海水製鹽。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO8BvWcJlK
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW526knK7M
今早來到海灘時，鹽田仿佛遍地積雪，眾人不禁驚嘆連連。安德魯負責將曬乾的鹽疊成小堆；亞里和友梨負責將鹽舀進竹籮裡，方便之後搬回冰室。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLaTPUr5h
看著不遠處，友梨細小的身影嘗試拉動堆成鹽山的竹籮。竹籮當然紋風不動，感覺她幼細的雙臂會像公仔一樣脫落。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wAiWxLQWt
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Az82nZ6E
「友梨，你太心急了。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7xBzkQYsZ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZOriejJky
安德魯上前，幫忙把竹籮過多的鹽舀走。友梨低著頭，挫敗的小聲道歉。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanaiqLBcG
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonDJK2Pms2
「不要緊。」安德魯彎腰曲膝，與友梨視線成水平，發現她的眼中含著淚光，｢你還好嗎？跟亞里吵架了？｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3c4d0trpq
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWIxFd7o3y
她微微點頭，｢我的錯。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAtBjPcPuo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzQhiCBiSB
「嗯嗯，到底發生甚麼事了？能夠告訴我嗎？」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQREuqzjl
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIuenTIvWe
冷不防，友梨突然蹲下，安德魯也跟著下去。她低頭飲泣，喉嚨沙啞發不出聲。安德魯甚麼都沒說，只是在身邊靜靜的等待。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ep2Sx3yJm
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJsLtOoAM
默默的靜待時間流逝，終於，友梨開口：318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwOLjM9OaK
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCtyEQptW3
「我對她說謊，隱瞞了絕不能原諒的事實。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbGWmpvO2e
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6zNgGPRu
「我看到友梨非常後悔，你也是情非得已才說謊吧。只要好好解釋和道歉，亞里一定會接納和諒解。」安德魯伸手，｢我陪你，一起去找亞里。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWi58xbNNP
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfEX4RtsSg
友梨搖頭，態度決絕，｢情況不是你所想像的。我不會原諒自己。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSx2jH80yU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fn900gehj
「可以跟我說嗎？一人計短，二人計長，我們一起想方法解決。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTUzxgdr6P
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Y1bZE8jZ
友梨望著安德魯，瞳孔宛如倒映星光，可是，微光眨眼即逝，「不行。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIDTYFtl19
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡychXxVIOBn
「你們在做甚麼。」無感情的語氣插話進來，平調得聽不出是問句。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexRWYfMpdO
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ3gtZixMJ
安德魯抬頭，看到紅楓。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNPWrpMHq
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU51q8lkcP
「我原本在釣魚。」紅楓指向遠處的大石，｢你們蹲在這裡做甚麼，要幫忙？｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mi8vWIQWo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNMZolZLXo
「我沒事。」友梨擦去眼淚站起來，她還對紅楓存有戒心。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ051ikpvhhJ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d9lqbc97n
友梨想離開，卻被紅楓拉住手腕。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e7dvundTm
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNIVp7EgP6
「放手！！別管我！！」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHHD4Uueh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDXMYFYXLG
「嗚……! 」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpodTAy5II
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfdjbJw5Y
友梨大吼，把安德魯嚇了一跳。她甩開紅楓，將手抱在胸前，像對方會把整條手臂搶走似的。然後，她又意識到自己反應過大，馬上低頭道歉。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeXWPEZLEw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ri73u5npF
「對不起，我變得越來越不是自己。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQy6JRmMZn
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTpBr20sG
此刻的海風格外冷冽，能在人工皮膚上結霜。她們都隱約感受到友梨和亞里之間存在必須化解的矛盾。然而，兩人都拒絕援手，築起肉眼可見的紅牆。想幫忙卻無從入手，帶給她們強烈的挫敗感318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡialq1rKVrB
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0dnwwIqQf
「差不多到中午了，我們休息一會吧，喝能量飲品補充體力。」安德魯說。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHZaOPPvTg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0c15EzutA
友梨二話不說，獨自往林子方向走。不遠處的亞里看著她們，安德魯想過去，亞里一聲不吭的往相反方向走開。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDgW93TSx6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0NjVfdHx
「為甚麼會變成這樣……」安德魯的聲音失去了以往的神采，臉色黯下來，｢兩人明明是感情要好的閨蜜，為甚麼今天會反目成仇。紅楓，你去找亞里談談；我去找友梨談談，首先要弄清楚兩人鬧翻的起因。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8XZ37Vzp
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy4wLQx0if
「別。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1EdrSBY0z
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfw4mTXxfi
只有一個單字，是拒絕的意思嗎？安德魯不解的皺眉。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJaewNiqIT
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RIesR7WEi
「她，她們都很怕我。剛才友梨見到我就想跑。安德魯，起碼友梨願意回應你，我需要你來開解她們。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGhjsA7fj5
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEo4BJgpvw
「我嗎？不對，剛剛友梨沒有回答我，她只是說情況不如我想像。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYLEYYgDh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6whBi74ih
紅楓的眼神像見到魚兒上鉤，立即追問二人的對話內容，安德魯便向她覆述了一遍。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70GIhhC8fr
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbxLAlGRLS
「是我多管閒事了。」紅楓說。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGyJA2jtsk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0lS4XRuPg
對於她的回應，安德魯感到錯愕，「責任不在你。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cmbrbLsgd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV925jcVkN
「友梨的說話，字裡行間透露著求救的訊息。假如我沒有插話，她就會把事情和盤托出。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMI5lYpiej
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SmARELUvY
「真的嗎？但她沒有正面回覆我的打算啊。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ap9zFE6T
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtJJ1F7hE
「是罪惡感作祟，她屬於任何事情都會先怪責自己的類型。雖然内心渴求救星，但罪惡感讓她覺得自己沒有被救助的資格，應該溺死在内疚之中。
「若然友梨真心不想被幫助，她只需要矢口否認所有問題。『情況不是你所想像的。』這句話真正的意思是：『問題非比尋常地嚴重，聽之前要有心理準備。』。
「可以確定友梨有意趟開心扉，現時只要再推一把，她定將來龍去脈告訴我們。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFeuA0rt89
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pcmDk1C8m
安德魯打量紅楓，表情寫滿了佩服，｢你分析得很透徹，是從那兒練出這一身本領。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0vMmskzC6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z1koHbySw
「我以前在銀行當顧問，看眉毛就能讀懂別人想甚麼。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmBpIF0e1R
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9C9e80Zry
「怪不得對住大小姐也能面不改容，原來從事金融業的。」安德魯搖搖頭，｢不對，先著眼現時問題。我們去找友梨，呃，但我沒有信心能處理得好。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslK8jRzUpZ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqftwZcjrF
「我會陪你。」紅楓說，｢我可以佔主導，你在旁邊附和我的說話。只要你在場，她多小會放下戒心。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVxZPQvG3V
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jFVjNjf44
她們跟著友梨的足印走進林子。裝著能量飲品的袋子原封不動，兩人都沒有來過這裡。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrxnHBwrw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA2polumNl
「我們等著吧。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86nkaAP4ir
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5fH39vTv7
安德魯語音剛落，紅楓將食指貼住嘴唇，然後將手放在耳邊。
隱約聽到喘氣聲。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGaT0by60
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DhNxFWosO
友梨的聲音從草叢後傳來。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9q1wXBq2J
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRComPy7H9
那是她們從未聽過的音調，甚至難以判斷當中帶著的是痛苦，還是其他異樣的感受。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5a9w9s6lj
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybhdEJCRoA
安德魯看向紅楓，如同徵求同意。她淺淺地點頭，做好了心理準備。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDUU7lTCGk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxGuXROlsR
撥開草叢，看到友梨……318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3eGHJOnKQ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzUvLeEWBg
世界變得模糊，像電視機收到雜訊。安德魯掩住嘴巴壓住尖叫，結果還是有半吭漏出指縫。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zM7LKFp5Z
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnA9Hbclqp
友梨驚慌抬頭，撐大的眼眶猶如跌出眼珠。衣袖拉至肩上，手臂暴露出恐怖的傷痕，另一手執著尖銳的石頭。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgobRlqbt45
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjo1g1oLvt
沒有多餘的解釋，友梨轉身拔腿——318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKshxwWtDtP
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YG1LFvDSn
「不要再逃避！！！」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aR1jgBH8o
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7IizcukpN
紅楓大聲震懾，不只是友梨，連安德魯都怔住了。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmcJV0BJn
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLDUiNsSFI
「不要再抑壓感受了！！她是你最重要的人吧！！正視你的情感！！」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYeVRG6oZA
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT85W8LvLaV
友梨熱淚盈眶的表情，宛如發問：我配嗎？我值得被原諒嗎？318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXVQFa7JQa
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBSsLcxx6S
紅楓以擁抱代替回答。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA8Y2cheNC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CgBwbq6yf
友梨再壓不住情緒，崩潰痛哭。紅楓緊緊的抱住她，任由淚水沾濕衣服。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZFqkp21EE
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96B856GgSh
「對不起……對不起……」已經不知道友梨在向誰道歉。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnSx8EKx1U
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA86TirImB9
「感覺好點了嗎？」安德魯蹲在她面前，拿手帕將前臂上難看的液體擦乾，｢無論如何都不應該傷害自己。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEJH2orKMM
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdFxRSdgfu
「我…對不起……頭腦好亂……痛可以冷靜……我需要痛……」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZePjWY9uJU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBFGNWJNSb
「從這些疤痕看來，你已經偷偷做了好多次。我，居然沒有發現。」
安德魯表現得自責；而紅楓看到更多細節。
「疤痕不是自殘造成的。這件事，你不是一個人在做。」她看了安德魯一眼，然後才轉回友梨，平淡的語氣說出結論：｢是亞里做的。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizHN524ACg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVSZaAcmWb
安德魯禁不住倒抽一口涼氣，認知再三迎來衝擊。她感到一陣目眩，如果是原型的肉身，也許已經受驚過度而昏倒吧。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMe5D62C4
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjrifGAOsR
「不是這樣！她沒有錯！我不是她的不是這樣！」友梨急住為亞里辯護，說話急速且語無倫次。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS4RqX3BM8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3E34XOIq
紅楓抓緊她的肩膀，要她深呼吸冷靜情緒。等她理順呼吸了，紅楓才開始問：318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxuxy0VLf
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zhMF8uzw
「甚麼時候開始的？」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb82ZzEM04
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyDx7svdi8
「亞里第一次出走時，我在一個地下倉庫裡找到她，她當時用玻璃割腕。我們要這樣才能冷靜頭腦，可是，仿真人的義體會麻痺痛覺，傷口再深都不會感受到痛。
「於是我提議讓她割我的手，借同理心的痛來代替肉體上的痛。因為亞里的情緒一直都不穩定，之後我們就做了很多次。直到，直到昨天……」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBY1OEOrmd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu0uk98NAG
友梨自覺的深吸口氣，同時讓接下來的話在腦中重新整理一次。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lz46bJiC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYqFBUJDZ
「其實我很早已有所察覺，但我瞞著不說，因為亞里一定接受不了。直到昨天，她終於發現——318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHpSzcw11l
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB8BAFJdIQ
「我和亞里是姊妹。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMlr4cuJeU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheKFMsewnA
意思是二人的原型是血緣上的姊妹嗎？不，對仿真人來說，『姊妹』是另一種意思。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHB9MJhES3
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL8hGzAcDB
「我和亞里是同一個原型的靈魂倒模。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSM2bAPND
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8rBlvC3p
安德魯恍然大悟的瞪大眼睛，｢你們兩個的確很像，性格和說話方式近乎一模一樣。原來如此，你們本來就是同一個人。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvAtX5Cf7g
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAE4Uo3raZ
紅楓對安德魯點住嘴唇示意安靜；然後轉回友梨要她繼續說。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP4ltVHf41
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAkjxBqKR4
「每次我讓亞里割腕時，都好像看著自己的手一樣。其實在第一次時我已經猜想我們很可能是同一個人。之後亞里提到自己的過去，我便完全肯定了。
「但是，我最清楚自己，依亞里的精神狀態一定無法接受，所以我才隱瞞不說。而結果，當亞里知道真相後，馬上陷入歇斯底理的恐慌。好不容易平靜下來後，又不願聽我解釋。我們冷戰，關係陷入僵局。我…應該怎樣做……」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmplF8MN7G
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37bii4jC32
友梨說完又要哭了，紅楓輕輕拍背，讓她的心情好過一點。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tnnC7aLje
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiLvrFqrhd
「沒事了，你無須獨個兒承受。」安德魯說，｢我們會幫你，幫助你們。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1dy0EulBT
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ6VmH7jxh
紅楓點頭，｢我們去找亞里。事情已經明朗化，我可以開導她。｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeQn42WDG6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHuQibhe4
「謝謝，真的非常感謝你們。｣友梨的眼神依然閃縮，｢真的，可以嗎？」如同確認她們不是騙子。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXxuzIDce6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VbWwFHUl7
「你現在不就打起精神嗎？」安德魯爽朗的笑著，｢亞里一定也能好起來！因為你們是一樣的嘛！｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RQfnLn5V
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzTxWrIlYJ
聽過安德魯的打氣，友梨非但沒有受到鼓舞，反而，臉色一下刷黑，抱頭縮起身體。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnzdcO6WxX
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqkpbMCQfq
「不，不要！不不不不不！！！」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe5ttLTP6B
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VJYuxQ9Ka
突然惡化的狀況，害二人都來不及反應。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIpLsoo3QS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhUGAOQ6oR
「救命！快去救亞里！」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2tVZdPB7Y
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkXWgZsWMp
「友梨！冷靜！」紅楓定住友梨的肩膀，迫她直視自己深邃的黑眼睛，｢我們在這，我們會去救她。告訴我，你想到甚麼？｣318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE8LmsHJrd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOeWtIjW8I
「我們是姊妹，我的想法也是她的想法。快沒時間了——318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RSfnhggnS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVJbix2kMu
「亞里要去自殺。」
