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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG7OcALsj7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Y1E54h3Q
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6msCc5mqxZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirjVIoOhiC
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGWyGLom6z
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qSNjGMBpZ
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MdnEKhXpP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXug4lnge2z
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yokVmkHAr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QiiKQbUiT
「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。｣384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhYnOtSwQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfjPcCYTj
「我不回去。」她說。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3aR2Uw6fu
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FqVjkv2x6
「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。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkSNzuQhi0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMKWReYWR
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSG89gZBDy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22CxHr038
「不要過來！」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS0yZlAtsz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XZGqcOWxq
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdAiHRHfj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexldswA6Z3
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIekSoY3XUO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1qe1CTRAL
『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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhANL0zl19
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEeO1T4zAt
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCeK9ZvnmM
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYdzF7MXN5
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCcJFTFCyT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsICZrsGsW
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk96tJ6nFQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOVscnMHGe
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbqc0y3lo5
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxpyjlRDj
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgC3RTdcsa
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvBrwx66mS
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQhPxjHuh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfD98WqX0V
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvhzWw1D0K
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VLxwQcsA
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxgfiCrWb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlrEEwizK4
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwnIKpykP0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOra2T31Thi
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqde1ao3PyN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9UGpezSCK
「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。｣384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87DZGeA0Nh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKUZdgpawN
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qz5e15yfq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOig0xgJGih
「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。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7CIYhfRdR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrsf83fXA0
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mak9SF9sC
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9uTRckSWc
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RfE4ZHUPe
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0FfIx45EN
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55S0UmKMR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgnuxDFkDj
「當心，會割傷你的手。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yKMvYslyJ

「這正是我要做的。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAMfTM3hQS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTpa1uH8Tn
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXhntRmFjf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8XPbKoTwc
「割我的手。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpwDZPDvKZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2EW6D5uXW
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——｣384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBJCEHwudK
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYWqdj4SLG
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWQmUSAtLu

「三刀而已，可以喔。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vYUMQkBb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zcUyhK7rO
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iadv50Hv0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZTZ0IzGhK
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHPGhETxxJ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Cwdc3gpp
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgx0dX6C0R
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqe5Zzsa7M
「嗯。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wwbr5tfpz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru8bxb7BkP
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrge0CIK4i
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtTbNixDd
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJpX7fcUFL
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPBoEexmGQ
「對不起……」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF0vogP6G9

「沒關係，下回小力一點。」384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EF0jViiER
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZf8iigcv
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbhg6wkUxG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4Q8MDelX
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。384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oWPpm349Z
