104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZRvMmSRy
他曾對她說過。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RBJo7KHbn
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2arYgPips
「別回溯，像逃避一樣。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW66XTRU9y
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYbWeXZwKB
所以她照做了、勇敢面對了，最後仍迎來這種慘澹的下場。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNLdf8jUNU
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA2uTeXMlC
那他呢？104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi58Qui7IF8
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0T0ooyaCb
不知不覺，又或者刻意假裝沒有發現內心角落的畏懼，他自那之後再也沒發動過個性。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhMm8b41kp
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrPKsOqPoq
因為不敢面對，所以逃避了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSNQMTSem9
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡked5mhLtKr
明明對茉紅梨說過那樣的話，還真是可恥。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdnjfReYI5
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOgEGz6zFy
「茉紅梨她……在最後一定比你更害怕，是吧？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzh3tHn9fW
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ZBSSVFlN
所以春菅的這句話宛如在獨人臉上狠狠摑了一掌。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6j0Yf4uyg
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLCfQAGPHg
是時候該回去了，至少要回到她面對死亡的恐懼以前的日子才行，她本就不該經歷那些，不應該的。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bmCSIcpOl
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCuBfDEvkf
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EAFCfmJF3
緊皺的眉頭抖動，緩緩睜眼，露出烏黑亮麗的眼眸子，獨人左顧右盼觀察所在位置。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsk55ncFWS
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwQDA2kAHW
他的個性有些不方便的地方，回到過去的目標年紀越大就越不能精準掌控力道。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkAEkqXlTq
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0qs5tASh
回到四歲時還可以選擇日期甚至時間，但回到仍是18歲的幾個月前，就會產生數日至數週的誤差。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIrq0x4Pyc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmftrOTKyr
比如說現在，剛剛明明瞄準了「殺人」事發前一天的時間點發動個性，他卻發現牆上日曆的日期提前了整整一個月。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQm2LuuGJX
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdsbjkwHTF
不過無妨，此時的茉紅梨還活著，這才是獨人在意的。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFB3pYauxB
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWwKxHJwl
他正在房間書桌前，敞開的日記本吸引他目光，那是記錄每次輪迴重點用的筆記。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRxQ6lQl6L
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfOVQlpGPn
曾做了什麼事情導致什麼後果、又或前幾次的時光旅行是從哪一天到哪一天。畢竟穿梭於時光的次數一多，對於「這個時空」的自己目前做了什麼事，他也會感到混亂。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TjjyTaBPu
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxacAJirFb
白紙上的字體散發出些微憤怒，目光掃視幾行，獨人便不忍再看下去了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CVhAtbgSE
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhcyfy5dh8
上頭紀錄著他之前為了抓到不良少年小川把柄而重複輪迴的重點，包括小川家的調查、他跟他爸借錢的細述、甚至提款卡密碼都拿到了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3FGWNJC1O
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL6be5Crhv
這些小事在現在的獨人眼裡看來格外諷刺，以前的他到底為何要把心思花在這些無用的事情上？104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxkSdV7CG
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5qdOPuJ6F
無奈嘆了口氣便把本子闔上，獨人走向房門，握著把手遲遲不敢轉開，隨著時間溢出汗珠在金屬表面與皮膚之間產生噁心的黏膩感。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wPS4lLcvl
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yvgu8MlHX
打開門就能看到茉紅梨了嗎？104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzO5Jc3N07
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF30zXdaI0
看到了，我又該怎麼反應呢？104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI58aMfDCm
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbVIq9Eri
他從沒想過這種問題，倒不如說以前他幻想「要是那個笨妹妹不在的話」這種情境的次數更多。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Dhg4iiln
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcm27VZdIk
剛才日記本的資訊完全沒有提及任何有關茉紅梨的事情，因為他對妹妹的嫉妒深刻到連寫下她的名字都不願意。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzStqtVre7
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEC3onfPVW
「此時」的茉紅梨在哪？「最近」發生了什麼事，獨人完全不知道，過去的他對於妹妹實在太漠不關心了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SE3nNwVS
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdjvL0PYVf
最終他豁出去，大口嚥下口水才猛力轉開門把，有些年紀的木門推開時發出「磯——」的聲音使他更加緊張。
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8PJbeqU9N
「呃......」
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcPToc1uvQ
她才剛從玄關進入客廳，看見獨人便止住動作僵直在原地，踮起的腳尖和單肩托在背後的書包完全說明了她正躡手躡腳不想被發現的心情。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49QOizfx0
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPtMSNaGA3
被抓個正著的茉紅梨愕然勾起單邊嘴角，笑容尷尬至極，「ㄏ、嗨，獨人……我回來了……」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYSQRxG3dx
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Diqgf7Od
獨人心頭沒來由地一緊彷彿被擰乾的毛巾，喉頭也開始哽咽，逐漸酸澀了起來。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YY3rnLAO8
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJW8o6EHjk
他幾乎是想都沒想，本能地衝上前給予妹妹人生第一次的擁抱。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI3sxchgo2
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDg5GJp4GT
激動情緒已不容許自己發聲，他只能全身緊繃著出力，就像防止懷中那人離開一樣抱得很緊很緊，修長手臂死命抓著茉紅梨相對較小的背。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzo3NEi4H
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxU1UcIuWe
獨人首次知道，原來茉紅梨的體溫是如此溫暖。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFc9p3r8yy
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5v8z3stov
茉紅梨耳邊傳來哥哥的啜泣聲，身子也不時感受到吸鼻子的抽搐。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbBRKaC0Q
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlE00ZJ7o
「獨、獨人？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCtAYbHA3
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKS9B1wiD0
一直到茉紅梨發出聲音，獨人才鬆開束縛退開來。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl32dSHFBeK
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4PlVzYycb
只見茉紅梨的表情彆扭，摻雜恐懼、麻煩、慌張，是一個負面情緒的集合體，獨人才意識到——原來她一直是這樣面對他的。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4boYNyonY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAOie3vt4b
「茉紅梨……」獨人試圖將緊張感隨著口水吞下肚，明明是曾經歷過的日子，以前自己的心情是怎樣來著？不耐煩嗎？他也不記得了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCmMIMLFZ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QHL0SFQ7V
只知道此時此刻自己感到畏懼，良心在譴責，心裡有股聲音正告訴他「你曾殺死的人就在這裡」、「她等等就會向你興師問罪」。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjcJ8zUIQ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQPnPxGAYy
也許他還沒準備好，腦筋一片混亂以致喚了茉紅梨名字之後就沒有後續了，這令被呼喚的本人無所適從，最後她趁這次機會乾脆開口。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW21444D2h
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6rTujAT4p
「那個……獨人，我想問你……」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYMKJOVCt8
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPCXlMqrq
茉紅梨猶豫不決，拖沓著是否要繼續接話，在雙方都不敢直視對方的情況下，她率先鼓起了勇氣問道。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvJoBME79S
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWKOyaSqX
「那個……週六你有空嗎？我們學校有園遊會，如果你有空的——」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19hczgz3Om
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtImJEo4gM
似曾相似的對話，獨人依稀記得這段被他拒絕的過去。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKRPJXBsQo
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoK7mWdEoT
心頭猛然湧上一股酸意，他再度克制不住情緒擁了上去，淚水沿頰滑下，順著下巴浸濕茉紅梨肩邊的衣料。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76HwYjAaME
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zeU6iTrR
「我有空、有空……我想去……！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM1OoMeOnP
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8KJxHDowQ
「真、真的嗎？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5chzX2fe0b
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm2g7XHwp3
「……嗯。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCC0sDWIAq
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4adZBHLzL
那是茉紅梨這一輩子第一次得到哥哥肯定的答案。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvz350cU0L
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqigp6b96G
也是獨人這輩子首次接納了她。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jtofS1ly1
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRISWxCmiR
那天之後兄妹倆之間的關係戲劇性好轉。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDJESfTTD
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYGuKP8R1r
突如其來的態度轉變令茉紅梨感到疑惑，甚至一度懷疑這是不是另類的惡作劇，或許是獨人故意對她好，然後再一口氣想讓她絕望也說不定。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb4gMY8elL
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwyhM3s0MV
依照以前獨人的所作所為，這不無可能。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwhuCoFKO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNiOzeuvRN
不過一天、兩天下來，雙方皆在尷尬的不適應下逐漸接受現況，哥哥的柔軟姿態變成日常。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PVvFRP9o
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRtPtdCAR5
儘管長年累積的芥蒂無法立即抹去、兩人獨處時也依舊找不到什麼話題，可在茉紅梨心中，獨人已然成為了一名不需要戒慎恐懼的哥哥了。
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WbyKjPAdn
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4TQfL6Xxw
一個多月後。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI748QV5Gm
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptBG6sco3
「茉紅梨，我要交志願調查表了，妳的給我吧，我一起拿去。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2b6Suby1L
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3xBeK0OmY
「哦，葵，Thank you啦！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeBi9AQeh5
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQn1F0KD8
安高葵面帶欣慰地看著茉紅梨。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFUMpePixv
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbW5ThLGT9
她們是幼稚園同學，直到升上國三才再度相遇，安高葵本來對於茉紅梨性格與幼稚園時期大相徑庭感到在意。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ9rnC2FGy
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RbkfSXws
不過從一個月前開始，茉紅梨顯露憂鬱神情的次數驟減，恢復成與幼兒時期一致的開朗了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdanm3LiOvL
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WESSGg8Rl
「妳果然是打算去雄英嗎？」安高葵順著接過的紙張注意到上頭文字，並不感到意外，「也是啦，妳的個性不去當英雄真的太浪費了。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hlox0GkzO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKmhVD59Yk
「嘻嘻，對吧？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsViRD5z9Iq
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGy2jOdj2G
別人誇無所謂，由本人露出我很厲害吧的表情時總是有些欠揍，安高葵忍不住翻了個白眼。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIbShFaxRj
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4w8U9z1QN
下一秒，她卻發現友人驕傲的情緒冷靜了，茉紅梨望著地板悠悠地道。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBob4kwRVs
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK4OvERMme
「我本來以為自己這輩子都不能嚮往成為英雄了。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDqReIN7F1
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EgLN8LDtM
「咦？為什麼？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw61vQQBRA8
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdMf7W8CuI
回憶起過往或許有些酸澀，她真曾經想過要放棄，因為她有個無個性又羨慕自己的哥哥，在他面前成為他嚮往的存在——這實在太諷刺了。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFTjknQliZ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9FBaKtxVk
不過……104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNmhrSsH3x
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynt8H1dElG
昨天當她拿著志願表到父母面前簽名，心驚膽顫就怕被哥哥發現時，獨人從房間出來正巧撞見一切。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfN86Mxet6
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvWwjydSKm
「妳一定能成為很棒的英雄。」獨人是這麼對她說的。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGN5EsjOL
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwOc7e3Yf
不同以往口是心非的諷刺語調，那句肯定是打從心底，茉紅梨感受得到。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7mqEfMojD
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgojSOmqac1
「不過我錯了。」搖搖頭，她不打算回答安高葵的疑問。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mSrECny3
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA9wjWA9Hl
這件事情埋在自己心中即可。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3khBy1t5A
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M82FpIbTW
然後，茉紅梨微笑看向窗外天空。
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnnOIly3rk
「今天的天氣真好！」
