兄長性格相當懷古，東西用舊捨不得扔掉，便將之仔細收納到箱子中並堆在閣樓裡。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGagJNrqNP
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzNJWCE6OM
有時晴好芳陽，總見他一手提著水桶一首撈著簡易掃除用具一二，心情愉悅哼著某齣歌劇的旋律，沿著樓梯爬上閣樓掃除。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOvA7tLgr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQZPueQRB
他曾經遠遠睇見兄長用著他說不出的神情擦拭沾上年代的木箱，動作極其仔細溫柔。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn76UgtE8r
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HPHHwHtBU
幾次各國友人來到家裡聞見閣樓裡傳來的碰撞聲，心生疑問詢問他，他都只簡易地答覆那是兄長在閣樓裡打掃搬東西所致，無須擔憂。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7MR4X1dTu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gnWxTnFYl
而這話一起頭，免不了被愛探聽隱私的友人問閣樓裡究竟放了什麼？讓懶惰到連幫忙打掃也不太想做的基爾伯特重視到上去清理？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl8jOT9pkq
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraeLoNO96
只是每次他都搖頭，漠然說我也不知道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXI19AF9Q
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s4WLIi5VK
事實上他對那些人說謊。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXkS4qcRIo
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJAZSUMUI3
是的，他知曉隱藏在閣樓裡的是什麼，同時他也知曉那些東西對兄長的意義相當重要，重要到他甚至曾經為了他的擅自妄為而出手摑了他一記耳光。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMLUHGZE3J
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdA9ezfN22
就因為他未經同意而私自將那些兄長所眷戀的事物毫不留情地掀開，並且拿了出來。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3s9p9vc6
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1phOw7euj
他還記得兄長眼底的惱怒與震懾，或許還有悲傷吧。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k344mAXuM
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSDOg72xY
那時他年紀非常小，還不太能作為一個國家存在，所有一切都必須要從頭學習，而因為他還小，所以兄長對他的態度就比較不那麼嚴厲，在那件事之前，兄長的態度在他印象一直非常溫和，彷彿光存在一般。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNfd0lHxI2
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ2nMr53nB
但他卻將潘朵拉的盒子打開，讓怨恨、詛咒、復仇等等一切負面的情緒從被封住的地方解放。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546ZlMiFv2
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn01BgoMl5
他獃楞地伸手摸著自己被摑紅得臉頰，無法理解兄長為何憤怒地彷如眼見仇人般的火氣，甚至無法理解一向待他小心的兄長為何會出手揍他。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JZP5M7Wq
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo657alB4B
兄長一把扯下他從箱子裡拿出的東西，整個人像發狂的野獸嚎叫。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HUvMZdKaQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdOfJByS2p
嘶啞淒厲，直到百年後他有時閉上眼仍幻聽得到那淒聲。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fBCQgoFeY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twJpsEmMT
他甚至以為兄長會回過頭繼續打他，但他卻沒有這麼做。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPA57tFxw
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNztGSJm43
他只是叫他遠離箱子，從今以後都不要再靠近。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA4tMppQer
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhUimlhE0
曾有人問他都不會好奇基爾伯特在箱子裡究竟放了什麼嗎？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC7YaroxnO
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQFzr3Ab8
他說，他不好奇，也不想去探究。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ2eyGB9Mz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF1QpFwXV8
如果兄長決定讓那是一個不可以打開的盒子，他就永遠不會去探聽。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElnXTHG7U
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDh0vPDuou
神話裡的潘朵拉把盒子打開，於是罪惡席捲人間，那是好奇引發的罪業。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlES1Dbf1CS
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOdBmeUCpw
而他亦是。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkLIXD8N1C
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1cmx4dZgj
幼年時基於好奇而把兄長不欲與人說之的秘密赤裸掀開，於是招致兄長失控的舉止對待，那是他的錯，不是兄長的錯。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDntfL6Ogiq
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvIcT7OnlI
所以就算他明白藏在閣樓裡的東西是什麼，他也會假裝不知道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ105mHoYt10

基爾伯特堆在閣樓裡的箱子數量相當多，每個箱子裡幾乎都放滿了他曾用過的物品，但只有一個箱子重量相當輕，那裡面不是書也不是器具，而是一套衣服。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmB9cc5qIS
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWvWTiZWt7
黑色，中古時期的款式，按長度判斷應是給小孩穿的，而衣服質料相當好，以致放了若干年也不見蛀蟲啃噬。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvx6yDMOXM
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNVbF5HH3q
每次清掃完後，基爾伯特總會將那只箱子拖出來，掀開蓋子，彎身將那套衣服拿出來，有時他會望著那衣服露出笑容，但更多時候他沉默地將衣服拿進胸口，將臉埋入有木頭味的衣服中，他沒有發出任何聲音，可他身體卻不住的顫抖。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3kV8UxJaY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQH9riADYX
明明就不會讓人心情愉快，可他總是無法割捨，那曾經緊密的聯繫。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmKRmp1fkX
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzNe14l1R
於是只能一再堆積在他心中，直到迎接終點的那天為止。ns3.133.145.211da2
