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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEdDRirWCC
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQwHfholxH
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzfIPGH6fO
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndtEvlec2v
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB1he2azJL
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquOh9K9VVM
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDWqMhc7p0
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYMw3kk1S
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkY56Fkaej
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAFmLuCPE7
「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。｣496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxc4OxmfS
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpTxZylSCp
「我不回去。」她說。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7VXO2mkkI
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFaccNFuq
「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。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQHMQGAbm
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFvCsL12NP
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyoXXebkiy
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshCPU693Ov
「不要過來！」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFrryVnVVW
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJvBhmgksV
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULgCLKhFLE
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzA05h0mA
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtjTBqLV8V
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BBBWh9gk1
『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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpCehXMviB
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqiFR2sUIR
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvl1F2Rpr
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgB5GzesHb
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSecPajm1T
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdvDHJAoQd
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjehv0ougaB
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhrPPn5fuq
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡextvAeqOG6
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ018ytzqDpy
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C9g836ter
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZtRMUw2ea
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yS9iDJfbc
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgZ7ANyqng
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3plmTduzMm
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJntnHpqBg
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGMWEL6a7M
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl60UB3qPK
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HIuZHLxjE
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBw2Omagpz
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGZa14Pi4t
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmAEhd3fJc
「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。｣496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYukmJ7th
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaw5Sm0MK
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIic88To9CG
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OPfs5uLVC
「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。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTuPGWF4qT
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGCPGGxZn
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuDFlJopI
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHpbViR460
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDose5VonO
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL1VbYznFV
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBitWFQU9B
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GQkCzYmd7
「當心，會割傷你的手。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwea3e0f1PK

「這正是我要做的。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACs7RUYIHU
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ0GSoiJjQ
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1yzHncIWG
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoGLKeY0YW
「割我的手。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYlmFEvpX8
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K5iNuFwvU
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——｣496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qL7ImRZE
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iCFxiJTbb
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRG6KHnM7M

「三刀而已，可以喔。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsdaqje9nu
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF4dEKhkiX
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6DYnaEMdZ
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL94HMnHJ8K
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxyX0YJGOO
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAsgs3Vb8
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnY3apim8v

「嗯。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Fz69fMMM
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67gW7eA9P
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo5JVNeuHR
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvUiEdDtzy
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5OVWrh9P1
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHN7VCRw4
「對不起……」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXlEZFCQUn

「沒關係，下回小力一點。」496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH6DP4rkML
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5zDNuqKYD
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN44knc6DxO
496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO2iyAbwSv
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。496Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP6R1kIwCF
