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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAUqbp8Y8c
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPh76cVzeM
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7fJNQZwT
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp686FdqRx
「亞里，找到你了。」她說。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0d6QQHCde
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivD9YPEZvA
盡頭的人影瑟縮在影子裡，緊緊的抱住自己，像一顆頑石。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwDIHQ9GH
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU4TB6MzpP
「友梨嗎？」她哽咽，｢為甚麼知道我在這兒……｣514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1Rrj3KBl
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OLasCEgl
「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。｣514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHAGhsVPFC
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbMLbEdxaH
「我不回去。」她說。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmb9d2UbT
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDPD2z5Mgq
「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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLCuAJtaBr
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ55lSDDHO
友梨邊說邊輕步走近——514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmEZc02SwF
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9LSjQBR1
「不要過來！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpGOYhTsfZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeZQuolwBO
友梨止住腳步，她未聽過亞里如此大聲。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RHyC0uUUp
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Skvhh4L6Y
「我沒事，你先走吧，我待會就會回去。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgufNMA97Ft
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlg3clqsaY
『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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BSVDDQE4D
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1gFnkssdN
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxSy2RFJK1
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQIvat7ceE
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ICIzt3Vj
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oden6wGrw
一塊染上液體的玻璃碎片。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFb2C27T9B
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVFGYoLFSb
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFOmnY8sZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80cNB7k2K6
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRSo8uYYs
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uSbqEemHF
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8PtdtPFX6
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYTUV0g2OQ
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfXC2QuFFj
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kFJi2uxE
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM41lL6hJH2
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbisIe65RP
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97dHxsBWG1
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnU9OjEyVV
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcp4EgHnTO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8IlGgpUwX
「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。｣514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO6GVi5iTD
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWrBtCLlgq
亞里想抽回手臂，但友梨不容許，兩手拉住她。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjRWlTEXK
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eSgNNYREq
「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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk4xbIawae
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzfkseTbX9
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rQm3SYcO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojtURh4Ypo
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6xJ9eXjU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX37AuU6mXg
友梨撿起三角形的玻璃碎片，上面還滴著液體。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7t57xxYAJ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZLt1KAi0q
「當心，會割傷你的手。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FDiSsJRbH

「這正是我要做的。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlQO42gk0U
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvIZN1fv2F
她把玻璃交到亞里手中。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwORfdSzXB
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeShdGgCUL
「割我的手。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXl0Wibyi
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6yoD3NvJN
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——｣514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrS7VMrU41
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOP7Uwms37
「會痛吧。」友梨說，｢割我的手會讓你感受到痛。｣514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JprgybidP

「三刀而已，可以喔。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtzVtpx1TV
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64dBMkOwYo
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61zUgIFSc
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYuPkH2pQu
玻璃滑過人工皮膚，劃上一道印痕。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Xn0PTx3M
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJha1YyQa7L
「太淺了，下回再用力一點。」友梨說。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VoLpAcaUo
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwLE4wf8jU
「嗯。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9NBsDZUHZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQckA62X7P
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbLwPP46p9
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmhYcbUWS
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8xQ1bAwSM
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs5lwqki6G
「對不起……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpFjp2vYP

「沒關係，下回小力一點。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtyPPq4pi
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUPUSsHVi
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDj546lfeE
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qyi4Is9BL
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oHx4Qlsy
