第七場 —— 如果不為了被愛 ?47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNe7CK5km

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgG5hPp4hn

00:00。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKzF9JEJR7
詹姆斯又睜開雙眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7L24mEeh
他又沒有立刻起身。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy2AKU9NvL
只是又……靜靜地望著天花板。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6VZk1cdE
「……她也在這裡。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4rzvI1yT
這個念頭，比任何一次死亡都更難消化。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRcxAWFDNZ
他慢慢坐起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDKh0un471
這一次，他沒有打開任何紀錄。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXHrscMQa
沒有整理任何死法。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRa8D4SvDG
也沒有制定什麼策略。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1X3lOwFJx
只是低聲說了一句：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ZfajPoKf
「那今天 ——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrnCIs7RD
「不如試試看 ——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zCIMdN6W
「不為了她吧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyhUA8ROn
這句話說出口時，連他自己都不太相信。

🎬＊＊＊

早上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg636aGti8B
詹姆斯如常地出門。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbXs4ONfq
沒有刻意避開危險。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt61cw37RoO
也沒有刻意尋找安全。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVkRe4G1MH
只是正常地走路、過馬路、上車。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNya4af32eH
一切都顯得普普通通。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNMQ1azS4p
普通得 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvucHn6OzGy
就連旁述都感覺到有些陌生：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEoqtuKDV4
難道……我也在不知不覺間被困在循環之中？

🎬＊＊＊

公司。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKYndcmXT
詹姆斯坐在自己位置上，打開電腦。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBOthGuvQ7
開始處理工作。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o9xKmphRq
這次完全沒有偷看莉莎。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJgOhbG4mu
亦沒有去計算時間。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrNL6VwwL
甚至乎……沒有預測任何對話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdR1ZQt3OF
這種不尋常的正常，倒使另一個人反應起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62xEV8RXM1
阿強忍不住看了他一眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfPG6gzMNW
「你今天……很正常。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOqRiOa1H
詹姆斯想了想。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6b33ci45
「應該吧。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPjH9OYbSL
這句回答，連他自己都覺得意外，甚至 —— 帶著一點新鮮。

🎬＊＊＊

上午。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9PQSsbhYV
莉莎從詹姆斯身邊經過。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQQVEzqwvH
這次他沒有抬頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOUNw8haY
還不單止。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsftqPTKEq9
他連眼珠也沒有轉動過分毫。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS824CEYPYa
彷彿老僧入定般穩著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Xc2bCK9C
只是繼續打字。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHysf5M1e2
反而——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmS1jZrAo
是她停了一下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWTjxiQgyp
就只是短短一秒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMMyP6rmHn
然後才離開。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF06oe3Zcd
詹姆斯沒有看見。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuCNtgecky
但他隱約感覺到某種變化。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCmWOxGX78
不是來自他。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4davaOweV8
而是 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYe0KTbpvh
來自她。

🎬＊＊＊

中午。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oXSZfDr2l
茶水間。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gcmuxQFC6
兩人再次相遇。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog4rkHbkwR
這一次，誰也沒有刻意安排。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCIFsAv821
絕對只是剛好。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBOpzP1MCS
詹姆斯站在咖啡機前。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcce8DlTpWR
發現機器卡住了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LUALu3Mq
他皺了皺眉，輕輕敲了一下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sQy3WweJk
沒有反應。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrOjW1nwcV
「又壞了……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxALMQSN3Y
他低聲說。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Es3vyY8N
正準備放棄。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Cs6Dx4hS
旁邊傳來聲音：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6aZOnapYO
「要不要試試按兩次？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipGqHd8cNZ
他轉身。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnucNshpS5B
是莉莎。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpFe4ePcsQ
她站在不遠處，語氣平靜。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMfTGEvHf5
詹姆斯照著說話去做。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhUFY7TLn8
按了兩次。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsSfv9iyXK
機器重新運作。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZRA3NmoL
咖啡慢慢流下來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt471CqRnWf
他愣了一下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0h0Wz0UOO
「……謝謝。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SeIwFkEz9
「不用。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXaSm0GiUI
她看著咖啡杯。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDdM3tYd1
停了一秒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Az2rgc0v
然後補了一句：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcvhLhqMGQ
「這個，我好像做過很多次。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUMAv51NB7
詹姆斯的手微微一頓。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzYDHb2TKj
但他沒有接話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1v2gQTAu9
只是輕聲說：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmG2qFjOU
「可能只是習慣。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolAXkmiaxp
莉莎沒有反駁。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRSk6rwOuZ
只是看了他一眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Hpb6onTV
那個眼神，不再只是防備。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRTw2kcyVe
而是帶著一點 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMSpMGOqkN
困惑。

🎬＊＊＊

下午。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPU7ZPnb2t
工作堆積。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VjR5u8vpN
經理臨時加派任務。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6fsXJ7ywu
莉莎需要整理一份報告。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KFcD1DiSg
時間緊迫。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGax8HkeES
她的眉頭微微皺起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjUDyzXi9o
詹姆斯看見了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIpEELxBOp
這一次 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPnb80oBGw
他沒有思考「這樣做會不會加分」。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiUHO6SK5N
也沒有預測結果。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLki0VCHEr
他只是站起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYDIazURM
走過去 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2flLC3yQl
「需要幫忙嗎？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdygMGQDy13
語氣很是自然。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOAkZ5KCoP
沒有任何設計。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS4yldr188
也沒有預期過什麼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn2tephfQq
莉莎看著他。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTchtBkPFR8
似乎有點意外。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4S3rzwtq
「……你今天沒有提前知道內容？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4YBeBsMNV
詹姆斯微微一愣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzkVdZ4h0i
然後搖頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlWprPTPUC
「沒有。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufDg8MvIOj
這個回答，很真，沒有半點做作。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzGzw1PTlc
莉莎沉默了一秒。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJafVVYaRsn
然後把一部分文件遞給他。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0PdblKOyb
「那你幫我整理這段。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GDZyUCQX
「好。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGE3ONpCuo
兩人開始一起工作。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr0e3urN5V
沒有多餘的對話。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDagW8vQqD
只有紙張與鍵盤聲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdv44TYhaa
時間慢慢流動。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Eth9dtOh
這一刻 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X6pSGRI58
沒有累人的循環。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbKR3wgbI
也沒有可笑的預知。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjhdKCcZsD
更沒有針對性的目的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZMPSUu5k6
只是單純的享受著「一起完成一件事」。

🎬＊＊＊

傍晚。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1tdaIr9K
工作完成。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GoOwHlFSs
莉莎把文件收好。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW9b9Gs12X
「謝謝。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WxJOrAUIY
她說話的語氣比以往柔和。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz5XPoLWe6
詹姆斯點了點頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiWzGNm4mf
「應該的。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtowMAbJdW7
兩人之間，出現了一種微妙的安靜。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY5efNrnjV
不像尷尬。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9fOl0nl8A
也不像距離。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8UhNukChU
比較像 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsGDoiok3J
還未有定義的空白。

🎬＊＊＊

晚上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJcBlFbZzN
詹姆斯沒有去海邊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOXEbWtmdU
也沒有刻意避開什麼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwURbjgMTh
他只是走在街上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnlNg2kDg5
經過熟悉的路。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oQ8iFmHnT
看著熟悉的燈。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHox9blR5
這是循環以來，第一次，他沒有在計算「還剩多少時間」。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIzplGn2p1
他停下來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAP6d3oPZT
看著遠方。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxm0drKuwB
「如果我不告白 ——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rQiCY3puf
「如果我也不追求結果 ——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u5ErLuMlp
「那這一天，還剩下什麼？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hd1DsTL12
答案很簡單。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvkIF8bdnG
「生活。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rjod4IOR6
久違的這個詞，讓他自己都覺得陌生。

🎬＊＊＊

23:48。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Advto6ems
他回到家。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxT5bQXMVO
坐在床上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnGKgZs26E
沒有了以往的緊張。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v5t16SthT
也沒有再神經兮兮的預測。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UBKNAk7Xh
他只是安靜地坐著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4txm3H5x0
任由時間一分一秒過去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR326r8x0WF
23:55。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacccRBuWg0
他看著鬧鐘。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlKcM6xU7M
心中忽然浮現一個念頭。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebITni0zUK
「如果我今天活下去 ——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtoNvJjdFy
「是不是就代表……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiLz3dzIwg
他沒有說完。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89n54ik3h1
因為他忽然發現。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwokWWFJU4F
自己其實並沒有那麼在意答案。

🎬＊＊＊

23:59。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WnwUXhrx
秒針仍在艱難地向前挪動。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pg0kNaTP8
空氣維持著安靜，像故意不肯發出聲音。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2lG4LIYkV
只有他沒有動。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6BMbq5Txp
他只是呆呆望著那塊表，彷彿時間本身也正望住他。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fewwd4pWu
「……原來可以這樣。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC84sgUJByq
就在那一刻——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormBG26oHT
「砰！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfqsOgbnm7
門外驟然傳來一聲巨響。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67MutERQAy
像是有什麼沉重的東西，狠狠墜落在地。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Ahe15pa4
他怔了一下，隨即站起身。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkoCi4xJhZ
一步一步，朝門口走去。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVFUnvT7OE
右手按上門把。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIaEqL9XMo
停住。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwXgR0kbcD
「……要不要開？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGrBKq9Eq
那不是問題。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE7NNNbNzy
那是一個選擇。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Gl16GL2l
沒有預測。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYgSWMPdW
沒有答案。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNU2PxTQpE
只有他自己。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07euwbUx7Z
他慢慢轉動門把。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjvoaTfti
門，打開了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkA0dqN63d
好奇——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbP20a4uSJ
害死了貓，也害死了——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTvBXKa8ip
畫面停在那一瞬間。

🎬＊＊＊

00:00。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanohRH9GvL
詹姆斯再次睜開眼。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhnZF5JRm
第一眼望見的，依然是那塊熟悉得不能再熟悉的天花板。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesPRpq4WzH
他愣住了很久。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zzrr8tMxT
然後低聲說：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l8C8WTC4a
「……還是回來了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxQLY2puSQ
他坐起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZHFFO1eH6
這一次，他沒有失望。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOFp2F3eU8
只是安靜地呼出一口氣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoOOUzLtvW
接著，輕聲說道：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLy2UrLiKh
「但今天，不一樣。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEoIacZQes
他沒有再去拿手機。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrFYX71shR
只是靜靜坐著，回想那一天發生過的事。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GF9CjUbv
沒有完美。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtHjqdnrub
沒有設計。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVknimDmP0
也沒有結論。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM5jnvHFtH
但 ——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiyzLCODDU
那是第一次。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N7kdnwUPB
他不是為了「被愛」而活。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfDIaabQOl
窗外，天色開始微微泛白。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7fRCU3fKp
新一輪的星期五，重新啟航。
