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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWQvrTGwfP
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvS6HWlkjS
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfemfXlizmX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9DodB06DG
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AdBR8pfPC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXA0pNNA0F
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1VrHbUBaC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHV3DRlcEw
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tdXdIJoyE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgtjUlxmjx
「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。｣429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR836RzkrdJ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfDL8xoeTX
「我不回去。」她說。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1BZkedR4J
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFiZ70JSkx
「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。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMAQnCaA7M
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbb7IDKSqq
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpzecx7XOq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiN0v0t4LX
「不要過來！」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwDTE16Q5m
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiYO6kp7u2
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MKEJ1Vjz2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QfypKg6RJ
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0vqV2QKoa
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9VxBaYqmX
『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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbIQ77kgy
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5u6KzVaJu
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ApCPeHpv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20fEcyPG5R
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w1YR9SBzU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwHQiENIO
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6iWMctHYW
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1WOFvs3Hj
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5LtXtwrT2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqL2yci7E
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJEdOKJWcq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYX43zwMR
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag5Hmuv7bb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Bk6PFrWf
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSyAtElGMn
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gY9UHwyNV
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJwpyFM6RN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fDy5mxiJa
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjt02NzmOV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aCUYItNDv
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZyRJSiTo
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC10XZzuGd
「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。｣429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc897NMxYM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVn6D1J2YP
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ68PcMH59h
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9ZqJyu0D
「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。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhw4x2eyxK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisljwS0V0H
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYK4Zjqeao
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9cdKKeAll
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksqt3TAkXD
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyADgYwJat
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRcimwar5r

「當心，會割傷你的手。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2mJkHZajY

「這正是我要做的。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpzpNdxoO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQoUbek5my
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0dp4mSFUN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd7YCXqfAz
「割我的手。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSOekRzzp0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hpg4sOSUQ
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——｣429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7MCmFNfM0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bEBNv2Lnd
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqh3EUH7y

「三刀而已，可以喔。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGCi2OTYpk
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovXokhoQuD
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqrFk1vDN2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmlFuQ5Jt
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RU3ntWnR2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OH71P01jI
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhedMGLxg4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hiS9jMZbM
「嗯。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGYENsRVgD
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50lNm6D0r
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhiFq7VwE1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeeBbjVDPt
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sZqCYvji
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv4x7oiEUq
「對不起……」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvx3reioyj

「沒關係，下回小力一點。」429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDeW8GvwaX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNprtzZS9Xh
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl0Z0R17lF
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dSpkXE0hO
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。429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuEtg5ePav
