滴滴答……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLSutLizaF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOSfkabYYX
回過神來時，是一整片的漆黑，唯一的聲響，只有不知何處傳出的，微弱的滴水聲。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5brTBsSq1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69tfTR1mtn
四肢彷彿石化般僵硬，他甚至感受不到自己的身體，全身肌肉都在抵抗著，拒絕被驅使。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZv5MOnAYj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrumALNPmYj
羅特注視著眼前的黑暗，足足呆愣了好一陣子——他沒想過自己還能夠活著醒來。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0GSbAG0yt
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHJzV0RzWX
不，或許已經死了也說不定。如果是這樣的話，這裡一定是地獄。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQkpakU9TB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw0H0TAVZ6
喀啦啦……78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeGM0LZjkw
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjap3zaz4
一移動，身體就像被驚醒般，發出筋骨分離的疼痛，彷彿在尖叫著讓他不要輕舉妄動。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhyoHeZEtA
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxM53BCi9N
但比起這些，更讓他在意的是——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmebdWzmV0
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpxNqYkQZe
「艾拉？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0TDXExTun
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCqfUVN2F
他感受著懷中傳來的溫熱，低頭望去，卻什麼也看不清。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftYheGhx3t
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiD1mR88Ki
「……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPtuCvcpor
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1s1XrNuZx
靜默的空氣滲入胸腔，緊緊勒住他的心頭，隨著壓抑的心跳逐漸縮緊。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn2rWl253J
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJiUVB3Js
一下、一下，窒息感在死寂中蔓延開來，他不自覺地攥緊了掌心。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w3R0w2wji
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdj3lk6kEI
「哥哥……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pfsE4YDpy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEssl2LL0B
艾拉的聲音宛如一道輕風，瞬間掃去了懸浮不定的恐懼。他不禁身體一軟，緊緊抱住了懷裡那具瘦弱的軀體。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQuCcDMTy
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvvNmYOGT5
「好痛……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkNjfBiD8P
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQlVZoEMTg
「抱歉！還好嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9H91TINl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQozHguKZVm
「嗯……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSv1Yh8scI
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg7cpasOU6
羅特下意識摸索著腰間，那袋裝著緊急用品與「寶藏」的背袋，早已在不久前的混亂中遺落。現在他身上唯一擁有的，只剩兩罐擠壓變形的破罐頭。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEeTWh57rd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpcY5gEEIk
他扶著艾拉的後腦杓，小心翼翼地將她靠在牆角的石塊上。嘗試掙了掙手腕上的死結，將麻繩盡可能的拉長了幾厘米，但也就只能到這點程度了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzziODJhTHk
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZssZa3aW
「等我一下喔。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRnbdcna7M
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBa9Zgf3QK
他半跪著身，向水流聲的方向挪動幾步，一抬手，果真感受到一股冰涼的觸感流過指尖。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnKmC4xMEr
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOz6xGVm4Q
「喝點水吧。」他捧著淺淺一手水，靠著艾拉微微顫抖的唇。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH9q1ozCB4
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQZZNzVbG
是斷裂的管線嗎？還是地下水呢？他只知道，他們又被奇蹟救了一命。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkyoOFaaV
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1jYTuZ2so
然而，後來究竟發生了什麼？大家去了哪裡？地面上現在是什麼情況？他都全然不知，他甚至不敢大聲呼救，生怕引來的不是長著兩腳的人類。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRMGfTjZ6i
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbABTHoFY
清水抹過面頰，帶走了那股苦澀的鐵鏽味。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrcBFkbfmG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDkxtVmmeG
「哥哥……想睡覺了……」艾拉潤了潤沙啞的聲音，弱弱地說。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9zv6Pbuoa
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnolVfSpEBW
「說得也是……妳也累了對吧？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM53wdsrLAb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMwNJY7bRL
羅特輕輕摸了摸她的臉頰，他看不清艾拉臉上的傷勢，但仍從肌膚輕微的顫動中，感受到那股乏力而脆弱的觸感。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDIKp5qqQj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLmS5OWr0z
「睡吧，這裡很安全的。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynybioS48o
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vqRqWEDnh
他不願多去想像，對他來說，妹妹現在還能夠正常的與他對話，78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIO4k7tDB
就是比什麼都重要的事情了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RnJHoiuU3
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyLldDRCO1
沒錯，只要能夠這樣就好了。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXikVb9S0Ao

伸手不見五指的地下鐵道內，連一絲光線也透不進來。羅特就這麼坐著，對著無邊的黑暗。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXM8KuYB3t
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU7hbRyqp2
明明歷經了整夜的逃亡，此刻他卻感受不到一點睡意，在黑暗中，感官彷彿被放大了數倍，滴水聲、碎石剝落聲、砂礫翻開的細微聲……隨著一片寂靜的黑一點點壓迫而來，直至充斥耳膜。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0hLa5rW7e
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinhgksKlO4
他的瞳孔不自然地放大，嘗試納入更多的光線，卻只是從幽暗中捕捉了淡淡的、不知何物的陰影。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBla3w8x5B
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGrpR47Hz
陰影的輪廓在他目不轉睛的注視下，悄悄地變化流轉，時而偷偷移動兩步，時而神不知鬼不覺地靠近，又在被他察覺後頓然消散，一道道陰影，彷彿在暗處窺視的鬼魅。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zLgmmf3lK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzEr4mE33A
他知道，這些不過是幻覺而已。自從那一天，在意外堵死的防空洞中被闖入的蟲族屠殺，看著父母在面前被嚼食，他就患上了這種毛病，這種不由自主，幻想黑暗與寂靜的恐懼。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYp2QgjlfF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooCxZPSFLC
他知道，這些不過是心理作用而已，身為哥哥的他，應該要保持鎮定、保護妹妹才對。然而，全身的肌肉還是止不住地繃緊，呼吸不自覺地愈發急促、愈發粗重，沉悶的窒息感一點一滴地，拴住他的胸口。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmZjZTeGku
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwSzaAXXD5
「哥哥……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSmS1mxZb5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ajDo3jQs
直到身後傳出艾拉那迷糊而朦朧的氣音。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKE5C4B8vq
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2fVmtmHlB
「你……在發抖嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfUo09hB6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMjY8JYVNK
羅特頓時背脊一僵，這才察覺到自己不知何時已不受控制的雙手。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsL5jWBB1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7shSLIPbVu
「嗯……可能是因為冷吧……抱歉，吵到妳了嗎？」他沒有回過頭，只是死死扣住了顫抖的手，試圖壓抑住內心的不安。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqnqtCw53p
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqEfGXREL
他沒能說出實話，也不知道該如何說出，他不願揭開艾拉好不容易忘卻的傷疤，不願讓年幼的她承擔和他一樣的痛苦，哪怕代價是獨自一人，永遠守著那段悲慘的記憶。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yMj9YtON6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkBxt7s6cE
「哥哥會怕黑嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntIAsNLraF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWofWEb2DiV
「……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQBucZgyoY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdV5heL9r
聽著身後衣物摩擦的細微聲，他沒有作出回應，仍舊默默地注視著前方的黑暗。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW7t6tz4pF
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOEKhBziKr
「……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFc1GYZdTl
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgipM8zVHl
一陣長達數秒的沉默後，艾拉終於開口問道：「是因為以前的事嗎？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvwgDjCt3I
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao16NPC69o
「艾拉？」他猛地轉身，卻驚見一抹稍縱即逝的火花。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDxMc5puY
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasAfi4KLCf
啪……啪嚓——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nTbCWnijO
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkdvE331Av
嘶——78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2TEmuSBjV
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk0F8HzR11
火柴燃起了一團小小的火光，微弱的暖光瞬間點亮周遭的黑暗，徘徊的鬼魅霎時煙消雲散，隨之消失。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTfE8oUBaT
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zACCHD3a
艾拉蜷縮著身體，將那支小小的火柴緊緊護在懷裡，像是對待著一件珍貴的易碎品。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyRsan1ye1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMqpXRtknO
陰影在那靜置的火柴盒上閃爍晃動，映照著紙板上那朵斑駁的、如焰似霞的橙色鬱金香，令羅特不禁放大了眼。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdyuPIHHb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs11dmO7F0l
「那個是……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyBKZfUzoK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CfxIdJDp9
「這是……媽媽的收藏物。」艾拉微微低著頭，輕聲說道：「媽媽一直都很喜歡蒐集這種小東西，對吧？雖然爸爸都說，這是路邊隨便一個加油站就能撿到的東西。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IVJgknfca
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZjDlQGQiJ
「那一天在逃跑的時候……順手從媽媽那撿回來的。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZeE1rDez5
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceVIKgHZOg
柔和的火光在她頰上映出道道光影，也映出了她身上那一青一紫的、令人膽戰的傷痕，但她仍舊在疲倦的嘴角上，勾起一抹淺淺的弧線。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1Tb5vLak
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAghE8V0Cb
「艾拉……妳……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnjWd1hAMQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ogqu5fWRN
「每一次、每一次點亮火柴的時候，我就感覺……自己好像又能再次見到媽媽了……」艾拉打斷他的話，將手裡的火柴握得更緊、更緊，緊到火焰幾乎要貼上了胸口。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaqMAVzZLX
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ffXtTWuRN
「每次看著火柴在燃燒的時候，我就感覺媽媽坐在我的身邊，在火柴燒完之前，默默的聽著我說話……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOonvcpXMuB
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVjWpfZeVL
她的眼神有些迷離，彷彿視線穿透了跳動的火苗，看向了另一個遙遠的、不存在的時空。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqS74qg3I1
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSLPqxGBpD
感受到手心傳來的灼燙，艾拉輕輕拾起另一根火柴，巧妙地將火星傳遞出去。然後，她垂下了眼簾，細長的睫毛在眼窩投下落寞的陰影78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHXgbTYpC6
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Clldj2Cw
「因為哥哥好像一直努力想保護我的樣子，所以我不知道怎麼開口跟你說……對不起……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfYQEyROn
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5od4g37knT
「我其實一直都記得哦……不管是爸爸媽媽被吃掉的時候，還是你拉著我躲起來的時候……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCGUgpMOb
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5TW7ohR8M
羅特深吸了口氣，雙手抓進凌亂的頭髮裡，默默垂下了頭。他直至現在才明白，這些年來刻意的守護與隱瞞，原來全都只是他的自作多情而已。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53tvniO08S
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8lFVWMgE3
「這樣啊，原來妳都記得啊……我還以為……」羅特咬緊因乾燥而滲血的牙齦，聲音隱隱帶著一絲壓抑的愧疚：「結果到頭來，我是個沒用的哥哥啊，什麼都沒保護到，還讓妳為了我……」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RqgpiV040
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXmz1DNvWB
「不對喔。」艾拉輕輕搖了搖頭，她挪動身體靠近了羅特，用那隻傷痕累累的小手，溫柔地覆蓋在羅特顫抖的拳頭上。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchuF9L3vPK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfTYaPGMQ
「就是因為有哥哥一直在身邊保護我，我才能夠克服那種恐懼感，才能夠……再次正視那段過去。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2aw1pD0gd
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8lpkfaPPN
她抬起頭，那雙在柔光中閃爍的眼睛直視著羅特，清澈得讓人揪心：「有你陪在身邊，我感覺……非常非常安心。謝謝你。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkk2sfDUN
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6reFkhaL
艾拉深吸一口氣，像是下定了某種決心，緩緩攤開掌心，將那個斑駁的鬱金香火柴盒遞到了羅特面前。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2oXLDnoev
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8jQ7E3deo
「這個，送給你。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoBWLAM79z
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJNPCJ2AsZ
看著羅特愣愣地接過火柴盒，艾拉露出了今晚最燦爛、卻也最讓人心酸的笑容：「如果哪一天想要想起誰的話，就點燃一支就好了哦，很方便吧？」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3DfjBmZwS
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo0VDEUuOb
火光在狹窄的空間裡跳動，將兩人的影子長長地投射在斑駁的石塊上。羅特指尖顫抖著拿起那個冰冷而粗糙的小方盒，指腹摩挲著上面那朵橙色的鬱金香。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDnx3suN2d
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjIupeyYIa
「傻瓜……」他聲音沙啞，想努力擠出一個像樣的笑容，眼眶卻不可抑制地泛紅：「這種東西，妳應該自己留著的。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDIeg2ruwG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObLxOEvbP6
「但我現在有哥哥啊。」艾拉輕輕靠在他的肩膀上，小小的腦袋顯得格外沉重：「有哥哥在身邊，就不需要火柴了。而且……你比我更需要這個呢。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2tHCJeFOG
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHotDMtzdPC
她說得理所當然，彷彿在這一刻，那個一直被保護的妹妹，才是真正一直守護著他的存在。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edXfLxkGR
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDycgX5nep
「那麼……以後就由我來聽妳說吧。」他伸出手，找到了艾拉那隻冰涼的小手，緊緊握住：「不用火柴的那種。」78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4heSRs5vQ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7H160RQLQ
「嗯……」艾拉沒有回覆，只是輕輕點頭，帶著一絲沉悶而斷續的氣息。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjObmsGsMf
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQcahQWyW9
然後，第二根火柴也燃到了盡頭，橘紅色的火星輕輕跳動了一下，隨即熄滅。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q74d0A0eP
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3LAXRUMiD
黑暗再次籠罩了一切。78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRSkM8OTPp
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6FLZt8PMq
但這一次，沒有那些窺視的鬼魅。空氣中只剩下一絲淡淡的焦木味，以及兩個人交疊在一起、平穩卻微弱的呼吸聲。1234 copyright protection74ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkgZyg5HQe 尼
