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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC20yixRis0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzydieCgIB
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXO8SLqtds
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uOfVPhHGU
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUJbhCk7L
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2F1H4zS3a
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGKeaexZcl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4S0jpWoRO
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqqwmoNgq6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6k0aPwsEy
「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。｣416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5I1fX575q
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9R8kRiZeq
「我不回去。」她說。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hSAt3VdkE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSjqajHlH5
「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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQldWVKksl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp7xfknedB
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zPkn9EKz4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETqEXFI6oZ
「不要過來！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxMiTnim7w
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEogdswmUV
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MvzFfYPpe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklRpYTNQn5
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P7zXeCfMq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30ogAeah1
『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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw23W0WmUR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKCGylj64Y
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KzVC5XT3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFV1LCBdfM
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLlKR1KjGw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vn14w3rLz
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ckBlx7JX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWzuMcFmSG
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCdUgB2bJL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGba83KJWE
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgD6ihSGBS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdfucNleo
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781EUKhi81
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeeLRJGpzr
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VyKlvx69f
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xnz2UhF9J
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡankg4wBcHU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6eihatJnA
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTxQKSe2yU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj5D2J15QI
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5s5Y7IOC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKli4YAha4D
「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。｣416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRfRBUqJv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKZlrB97ny
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qBsjGGeEh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5SCLkDrN
「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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NPzo3WW5o
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowotHAbNjU
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk9bJyRJYv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGKGPkath3
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgynmY5s5pT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu87Zf4Dul
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivzRIGHx8
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGX9KlUd75
「當心，會割傷你的手。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkz34T5E0Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPVo1GayPL
「這正是我要做的。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9baA8avQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUyaVhoP8h
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e0d7JTKoY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoV4sgpPfl
「割我的手。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NLIztxSEA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ7JI3d8I8
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——｣416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Lbp6PnPq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5BqG6iNXW
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRog6Jw7Rkh

「三刀而已，可以喔。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUlgKV5DSX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj4vuMCd7x
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNAJsq7I1x
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gDXKzPHUb
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN0Hbhumio
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WSH6vU8j7
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFsSd7PsBk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rC3dLzr9n
「嗯。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3YEUuVcXl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjL0aAKqFA
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEniGy7XxIX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVKs0HwOQ4
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutE8HYgKig
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKKmmqcWY3
「對不起……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClh5MBaVy5

「沒關係，下回小力一點。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk9KduyQmp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmph54RkLG
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7P3kkROZ3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebiG99Hsvo
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gKP6L7Ic
