天空掛著濃厚的密雲，拍打海灘的浪花格外灰白。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q2lF9siGW
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK1sgL7bhJ
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBzxNua9ol
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgok7Pycsc
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw4ajyQsrO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07VH7wfSGx
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgN58nofWB
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQuzINS36
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQv7FSwyS
「友梨，你太心急了。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i6BDlXCJA
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KnzGpH9Xb
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5HCDOUZ8E
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4g4Ithx28
「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？｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4u5FFRjZY
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAXoFOF9Mk
她微微點頭，｢我的錯。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamjjFU3bpe
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8yEi7SfMl
「嗯嗯，到底發生甚麼事了？能夠告訴我嗎？」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf77LBARuuG
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3YM4Qgns
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRbvHVPwdP
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphg13oXLK
默默的靜待時間流逝，終於，友梨開口：283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfp9036Ieg
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHLd3VwKR
「我對她說謊，隱瞞了絕不能原諒的事實。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAcCJw1YFx
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvFRSv9yFd
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCw6WycfMh
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFGWvPwU3G
友梨搖頭，態度決絕，｢情況不是你所想像的。我不會原諒自己。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRm09HftrY
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWvF6qVKv
「可以跟我說嗎？一人計短，二人計長，我們一起想方法解決。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbzVNeqbo1
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3PzQDZEPG
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。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVfr1VR5hH
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc93czK2Zw8
「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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV8O31cOMr
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMTOTgFY1Z
安德魯抬頭，看到紅楓。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF33ucPfDw
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz0GDyFVzd
「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？｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IykfOZJgj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s7AR0YJQv
「我沒事。」友梨擦去眼淚站起來，她還對紅楓存有戒心。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPaLOb9QZH
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT21iblapF
友梨想離開，卻被紅楓拉住手腕。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1wzRtngf
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix6pC5eF5k
「放手！！別管我！！」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJbWavVmm
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsTK93ntcv
「嗚……! 」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ8QhaoqSn
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjQakligw
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLfqVkqybQ
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vy7b5dUoF
「對不起，我變得越來越不是自己。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVOPZSIyE
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3ldV4ilJ
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283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0xmxBWkMh
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymBPvSVXz4
「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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxLiKMsTjW
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiRcnkGMz
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYDnX8RDS
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l7GdEJg1J
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJHpsdoPdJ
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJmUbNH76
「別。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgBoAjGo05
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8hlJENbf4
只有一個單字，是拒絕的意思嗎？安德魯不解的皺眉。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbfgkQWfo2
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1VXNprevl
「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。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN35DJ2iMd7
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7Lojx7gm
「我嗎？不對，剛剛友梨沒有回答我，她只是說情況不如我想像。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HlTPrhaa
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULJVJlXzf6
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET2eZvQT9Z
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cIxZXSKL
「是我多管閒事了。」紅楓說。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdg2j1wi1G
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07G8Irt9hz
對於她的回應，安德魯感到錯愕，「責任不在你。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCy6wBsxa4
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv60E7sWc1
「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。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iMfiuLnTF
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmChKRw3RT
「真的嗎？但她沒有正面回覆我的打算啊。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewqnTl8cG4
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX09QMc0CF
「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。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUmbXDASc7
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaS6bvB0a8
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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yl9RrCqrp
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmwJjS0gBD
「我以前在銀行當顧問，看眉毛就能讀懂別人想甚麼。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0pIaYYHVX
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTjYeRPDw
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYFnrFYoz8
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT5AtfvBsn
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnFdZre6M
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIuTcoqaKD
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHKvyWDRLP
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyjwPYY0pr
「我們等著吧。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz4OMPLbJ3
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3IpiTxRt
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4LImfKKEP
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzts8s4XbW
友梨的聲音從草叢後傳來。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAAezskbQd
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXHIbAYsD
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lAe5PkodO
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv6LPgExrz
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs91kuk4h6
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAPc9vBMSg
撥開草叢，看到友梨……283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQo3BuR8r
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiFQ1DMhOn
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡconuBk4Xzx
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7u4KTFtzm
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n0uubKA2x
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XS6xJCoZl
沒有多餘的解釋，友梨轉身拔腿——283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLT5lESUe9
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk0RTkGRWP
「不要再逃避！！！」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pPSUyXTLp
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRHSC8RK7
紅楓大聲震懾，不只是友梨，連安德魯都怔住了。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IFmbfF6b4
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCfAfgzFP
「不要再抑壓感受了！！她是你最重要的人吧！！正視你的情感！！」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBXu1t9Jwj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7tTWmy0gE
友梨熱淚盈眶的表情，宛如發問：我配嗎？我值得被原諒嗎？283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWEVWXV9Z
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1eCizvUho
紅楓以擁抱代替回答。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwPsqpuLQ
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMNTAxs6SG
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBaybCkYtj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwQkiWRx6W
「對不起……對不起……」已經不知道友梨在向誰道歉。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE453b1cxHW
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZEmR188Wz
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqriGYUrMmi
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgB5zhebos
「我…對不起……頭腦好亂……痛可以冷靜……我需要痛……」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBEKe2nE9H
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEb4Tj4kcf
「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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbakDv8IhRx
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4MA5cKJEK
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAyxcRXqe2
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0b40Dyeji
「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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YDUsYIUCM
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMCr9pgAXK
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：283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPyX5tg83
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eGQzGDBJT
「甚麼時候開始的？」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWL454muWC
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwmTQwIMbN
「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……」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq4JyeFNOc
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeKHMez3DN
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIVyVEJugP
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yTmwRSUR3
「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——283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodjpjSr6P
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42SPay5EV
「我和亞里是姊妹。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pqCptthS
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK9p3kWmM6
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdE3DSB58
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWzxrFsBQ
「我和亞里是同一個原型的靈魂倒模。」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40OJbVrZmJ
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZtlY3dnO4
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。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrtndOZ1Me
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba8Q3u4xbV
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrAraoMcS5
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTsOtFbYj
「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……」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet74RtiScC
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOogxHY8q
友梨說完又要哭了，紅楓輕輕拍背，讓她的心情好過一點。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NlHdJWeNj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdcrbelqJF
「沒事了，你無須獨個兒承受。」安德魯說，｢我們會幫你，幫助你們。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnBgCuQlhe
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63RKdaMsmv
紅楓點頭，｢我們去找亞里。事情已經明朗化，我可以開導她。｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmvKb1sBsl
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP7hdCDNRk
「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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoatwkqM7qE
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAXjAEjVsJ
「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！｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqLjtpydKv
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B1cP4Zg5o
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。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJQMAgBOi8
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3GPsPGadQ
「不，不要！不不不不不！！！」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXN9SonqGj
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NN8CEL7Y5
突然惡化的狀況，害二人都來不及反應。283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRpE3CnB4p
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivnj5AFvi
「救命！快去救亞里！」283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBzBSogbNh
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gD6d1HVpP
「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？｣283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFdsh2Fvgv
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3RJsOdjar
「我們是姊妹，我的想法也是她的想法。快沒時間了——283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IhPvni4sC
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwWcWE3mS
「亞里要去自殺。」
