第一代水果塔「書蟲」凱薩．克里斯托多羅普洛斯，花了他漫長人生的三天，終於把亂七八糟的屋子打掃乾淨。好久沒看到地板，他很訝異，原來他家地板是白色。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37KGrJxck1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs7bBgYZw0
「唉，這些怎麼辦啊……」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk3FcG4BgG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRK8R0O5jY
雖然一塵不染，但凱薩的書太多，一疊一疊堆在客廳角落，沒地方放。他決定在死之前，以個人名義建立一座圖書館，把看完的書全部扔到那，死後還能供人瞻仰，一舉兩得。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbpE69pwF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCTbzZHkXn
「來了。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQjK63Fm9i
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboPxvDYnS1
聽到敲門聲，凱薩立刻開門，只見艾莉絲站在門外，旁邊牽著一名紅色短髮、六歲的小男孩，睜著大大的藍色眼睛，好奇地看著凱薩。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww5XzEPlMY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwppoeAcqG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmst4fPOiu
「好久不見，凱。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3oUA79ZNS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cyn7PdYad
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZBVlmrJu
艾莉絲看著他。凱薩終於刮鬍子，亂糟糟的紫色頭髮也整理過，身上穿著乾淨的衣服，披了件黑色外套，和她記憶中一模一樣。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzR9cBHwwc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsn4qgnGIg
「……。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyxv3hF8Mv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaJ82li5c9
久違聽到這個稱呼，凱薩內心百感交集，只有一個人會這麼叫他。他之所以打掃，原因很簡單──夏悠討厭髒亂。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWpJeKbK53
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mVZo3wk06
「進來吧。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1fUlZijBH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcvFco7Pz
凱薩邀請兩人入內。艾莉絲提了一袋飲料，一杯是她的拿鐵，一杯是男孩喜歡的熱巧克力，另外一瓶是碳酸飲料，給凱薩的。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvvecLiZg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOADk47nau
「哇！姊姊妳看，這裡好多書喔！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDH5j3zh2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ORiPY8RjF
男孩一走到客廳，視線就被滿山滿谷的書吸引。看著在書堆前晃來晃去的小鬼，凱薩問艾莉絲：「哪來的？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBl9Mho1e
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB57dzCeczG
「他叫夏木。」艾莉絲回答：「六年前，我們去救尼可拉斯和派翠克。這孩子的母親被紅鶴操控，死在機場。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvUdgrGliY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtjIXbNGEY
凱薩有印象。他們離開機場前，艾莉絲發現嬰兒車的男孩，最後帶他離開。男孩和艾莉絲生活在卡洛爾大廈，現在是她的弟弟。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLzrdof38i
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEOvErwHTf
「只是普通的孩子。」艾莉絲說：「欲雪和系兒都不知道，我藏得很好。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBo2ZyOekG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2gW3ZW6YL
「欲雪？」凱薩微愣，「喔對，高宇維的本名，我差點忘了。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GUTgvHmDY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7OTfoFQmr
大人要講正事，艾莉絲問凱薩有沒有適合兒童的書，讓夏木在一旁打發時間。這毫無疑問是個難題，凱薩的書連大人都看不懂，哪來的兒童讀物？375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizO1y6XE2o
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngcdsKGjNe
「彩色的，很多插圖。」艾莉絲給他方向。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCDRAYSf9B
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEHQ7Giody
「插圖……」凱薩四處找，從書堆抽出一本，「尼可小時候看的，這可以嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztVGG3OMJi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJeF8yu89o
凱薩把書打開，裡面確實很多插圖，但那是醫學書，上面畫滿人體器官，還有彩色的解剖圖，看得夏木當場大哭，小小心靈受到劇烈衝擊。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fXkHtBwX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG00nJCjeo
「我兒子看這長大……好痛！」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVquVPH9G3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRVqMy8JiB
凱薩被艾莉絲打頭，力道、位置、方式都跟一百年前一樣。凱薩沒辦法，只好回房間拿整套漫畫：《輝〇姬讓人想告白》，他年輕時最喜歡的。夏木乖乖在旁邊看，兩個大人講正事。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTNv8Al49r
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3usjjD4IKL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdNXJIxaIl
「所以，妳現在是誰？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH0T7uGw9C
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPDluNNdkv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQhL9RGwX
坐在沙發，凱薩看著對面的艾莉絲，「稱呼沒錯，拳頭也一樣，但妳給我的感覺和『夏悠』不一樣，光外表就差很多。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgilt84A1i
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVCpFGKs4a
確實，一百年前的夏悠是長髮，繫著紅色蝴蝶結，到死都穿著白色長袖襯衫，還有深紅色的短裙；現在的艾莉絲是短髮，俐落的黑色上衣和白色外套，合身的長褲配上短靴，還會戴耳環。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QyT6mRIAX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQtg9rJARv
「夏悠沒有耳洞。那傢伙看似面無表情，其實很有脾氣。」凱薩指著拿鐵，「還有，夏悠只喝調酒，無酒精的飲料她一概不碰，是個酒鬼。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7JBGNf94f
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6goUh5C04
「……。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hk3SJhg4Y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JX16omrDk
艾莉絲沒有回話。看表情，她好像鬆了口氣。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxLbq8uGFJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFjsFwX0fq
「葛蕾絲告訴我：高宇維利用地震，已經讓夏悠『回來』。」凱薩挑眉，「以老朋友的角度，我覺得事實並非如此，對嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYMOGN2ipu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvGqrUkre
「一半對，一半不對。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnw1LIyYYI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpndr2PGJt
艾莉絲直視凱薩的眼睛，終於說話：375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdb4AB7fot
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSPRqJEQBP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiiayQ7nP8
「經歷那場地震，屬於『夏悠』的情感回到我身上。我對你、系兒、欲雪，還有仲翔，那些感情正在我體內發酵，我不否認；但我不是她，我跟她不一樣──我明確知道這點。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SF0F6x58L
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRCRlOCwew
「我不會變成夏悠的，絕對不會。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp23NEAlthy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMamhktRPhz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR6NgHdejt
感情基礎沒有李仲翔、白絃深厚，凱薩對艾莉絲的影響有限。李仲翔被打死、白絃打死不見，凱薩不認為現階段，還有東西能將夏悠完全喚醒。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe13wqbWLN
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF02K90FZx
當然，這只是他的推測，天知道高宇維還有什麼牌。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ88w6TYN3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ68GebOF1
「因為那孩子嗎？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRcuFf8cPa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGoDotT4RT
話雖如此，能將自己與夏悠切割，凱薩知道這不容易。他看向一旁看漫畫的男孩，表示：「夏悠很討厭小孩，何況住在一起。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABR0oVbmLX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HugKK905q
「是啊。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyieMx5Y9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwLo23IU0p
艾莉絲竟然笑了，她溫柔地看著夏木，男孩因為太專心，沒發現姊姊在看自己。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEcK7ffF1n
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBhjDfX5Yf
「一開始覺得麻煩、難以理解，但他的存在時時提醒我：『夏悠』不是他的姐姐，我才是。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3HdkaD4I
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZtzbAa1F
艾莉絲鞠躬，「系兒被抓，我必須去仙境，希望能爭取一些時間。凱，這孩子拜託你了。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOllToPJW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nIaOCuNnS
「不要跟我鞠躬，我會折壽。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VpQqlpktW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWhDp1zoNz
凱薩嘆氣，他也不能拒絕。幸好神與畜最近忙，葛蕾絲和尼可拉斯沒空回來，夏木不會被發現。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZgaQiEvD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCBTa8Imvg
「如果他不聽話，我可以揍小孩嗎？」凱薩突然問。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq21ftv7gY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnASrYJKnKy
「他很懂事，不會有這問題。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrufuK0X7U
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz1hFPdztJ
回答完，艾莉絲突然換話題：「凱。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh2vtQ35AB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h1hUNq26D
「幹嘛？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC7brXuxly
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJi6aoO8yv
「你覺得，」艾莉絲問：「我要叫什麼名字？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdoOhl3EuA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUrYpaGUxw
話題轉太快，凱薩被碳酸飲料嗆到，邊咳邊問：「啥？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ChAzqoA5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRIsDhhUv
「『艾莉絲』是身分，『夏悠』是蝴蝶結的主人。」艾莉絲很認真，「我需要自己的名字，可是我想不到。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYafvZWp0j
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIeVQOxg7b
「……。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dMzYUziW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXyJDHZs3
雖然飽讀詩書，但凱薩不認為自己有資格。他給艾莉絲建議：「等一切結束，讓小白給妳想吧。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW00PfMO1xq
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5YTmLTFdR
沒想到凱薩會這樣說，艾莉絲問：「為何？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKju5258WGA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngYjI81DPE
「小白不見妳，因為她堅持妳不是夏悠，也不會變成夏悠。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQAdfRqmPn
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0WbKgYpt2
凱薩喝完飲料，將空罐子扔到遠遠的垃圾桶，完美的三分球。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVghAd3fQw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd6P33lkek
「小白知道妳和夏悠的差異，一定能想到適合妳的名字。」凱薩說：「以前她總躲著妳，現在她哪也去不了，這是妳們見面的機會。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjar3DPkdN
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQLttwV24p
「……。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8sIubktsi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KD1jg2iuB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ814bpzSIX2
系兒需要小悠。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Qn0R9yLk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSqY36mZr4
羅琳娜需要艾莉絲。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0BkUNv1yM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHXr4Oxyg
用艾莉絲的身分道歉、道謝，再以新的名字，重新認識白絃。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4BRDyBWof
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJvtkUx6EW
──她想這麼做。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WhMTLFNzO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZAGEuFa2v
只有白絃，能為她的存在賦予意義。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxjABQPWZu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ppT2tvFHi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXxczyDTLw
「妳未來的自我認知會很混亂；假使情勢所逼，妳變成夏悠，務必再變回自己。這非常困難，我知道。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiEwLWEqoh
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwb8aGkge2
凱薩彎腰，手肘撐在腿上。他把手放在臉前，手指呈現金字塔的形狀。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRvIKpoiS3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ic2fXO7lj
「然而，有條底線妳必須死守；無論發生什麼，千萬不要做一件事。」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNvirWNHaL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbYdN1emoP
「……？」375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyytOqP6zYn
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNwEESJLdX
凱薩的表情很嚴肅。不等艾莉絲問，他就閉上眼睛，用近乎懇求的聲音告誡，語重心長。375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsauWW9RMcN
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtC7Irir8t
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Sc2X7LdJ
