　　小卷是個很怪的女生，她會帶酥皮濃湯上的麵包當早餐。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuW4Nk6SVi
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3mY4WbAym
　　「你到底對酥皮麵包有什麼意見？」她終於忍受不住明旭的眼神，轉向後座要把話給講清楚。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uE53bwILg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeOdvO6zZy
　　「我不是對酥皮麵包有意見。」明旭一手托著下巴，看著小卷不甘示弱地又咬下一大口。「可是誰會拿酥皮麵包當早餐？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFH0skaGG
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJz7tBEud
　　「我點的是酥皮濃湯呀！」小卷往自己桌面上那個外帶紙碗一指，塞滿食物的臉頰裡吐出一顆顆含糊不清的滷蛋。「誰知道外帶就被分開了！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYAxbpbHj1
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM6MT7OYF5
　　「對，但是誰會一大早喝酥皮濃湯？算了。」明旭大嘆了一口氣，雙手抱胸就往後靠。「總之我有不好的預感。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOKvbhzj2S
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDR374ljEs
　　「酥皮濃湯到底哪裡又惹到你了？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIbVfP9Lxz
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LB0y5E47A
　　「不是酥皮濃湯的問題，上一次出大事的時候，妳帶了炸彈麵包當早餐。」他指向麵包，但小卷反應迅速地抽走。「我覺得這是惡兆。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQywfWFswFL
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrppYRMfsX
　　「喂！」小卷一手拍上桌。「那你根本就不是對麵包有偏見，是對我！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7D4eS3IUn

　　要怎麼形容小卷這個女孩呢？除了明旭以外大部分人都覺得她滿可愛的，但似乎比起異性，他在女孩子之中更有人緣就是了。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJITXmxub
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O7crOE8AB
　　蓬鬆微捲的長髮、輕巧的瓜子臉、挺鼻周圍有些小雀斑、彎成漂亮弧度的長睫毛總是一眨一眨地。雖然個性上還算開朗，但就是那嬌小又單薄的身材顯得有些病瘦。而她那雙小巧的手，除了很擅長製作一些手工小物以外，也因為可愛活潑的筆觸而被成為萬年學藝股長。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwuvHpwWGn
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwy75eLqAO
　　至於明旭，一個蓋著厚重瀏海的男生、不高、很瘦、大部分的時間都在發呆和睡覺，除此之外就是和班上那群男生一起做壞事。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8zO5GGNlT
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2VpZvl2UB
　　但隨著相處下來，如果要小卷來介紹他，她會說他根本就是惡魔。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyH3317XM

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5fo0xMX8c
　　「話說，今天早上班導找我去講了一些事情。」已經吃完酥皮的小卷，正在準備開蓋喝湯，她轉過身把碗直接放在明旭桌上。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJg5FYABkT

　　「呀－－」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt7BeIGqVo
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIlPbPpWsP

　　話未過半，小卷突然之間石化。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQQ7d580o
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsE3B6418U
　　明旭循著視線，轉往教室後方一看。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPHIaTTflD
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppA1c0m9f
　　原來，是那個同學走進了教室裡。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tQgeNei8X
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6LbzITbnO
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxqvEQmDZz
　　「愛里？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoO17pjU04
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjwuTW6aGa
　　在明旭還來不及認出身分以前，小卷已經從他身旁呼嘯跑過，在深棕色格紋百褶裙下的兩條纖細小腿，蹦蹦跳跳地往那莫名熟悉的陌生女同學方向跑去。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtA8IOeD5a
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfX2tlOCZf
　　然而，在兩人將要碰頭之前，那被喚作愛里的少女瞥見了突然逼近的人影，她尖叫一聲往後跌落在地。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5eKqh1Dr6
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicPAdEcEiy
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVL24B2ew
　　早自習時間的吵鬧教室在這聲之後全數停滯了下來，所有人都不約而同往尖叫的來源看去。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgegRqQdT
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnChW4qUTkL
　　明旭坐在最後一排，並不需要動身就能夠看清楚狀況，但他仍是站了起來。他往人群之中揮了揮手，暗示其他人暫時先視若無睹。之後，走到被嚇愣在原地的小卷身邊。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflniCvtoea
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OHG1bZki
　　少女縮在門後牆角，雙手高舉在前，彷彿正在抵擋著什麼，而底下的雙眼則驚恐地看著兩人。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0fwcRqRZU
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8TJ2B3v9U
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOkNXd1iY
　　看見這幕，他終於想起來了，這個叫做愛里的人。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5stRQVasb0
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCwzMVRZr
　　最一開始時，大家還不認識彼此，所以對於班上的名單自然就不會太過注意，畢竟有直接建立起來的關係才是需要留心經營的重點。但在每個小團體都漸漸穩定下來後，班級的生態也就大約成熟，有的人數多、有的人數少，而總會有某個時間點，開始有人注意到那些沒有屬於任何團體之中的流浪者。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDsbkR4i02
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKXvESXxq
　　愛里就是其中一個，但她最特別的地方是，其他人因為也一直被迫生存於教室內，所以對於成為獨身一人的原因都能有個底，而愛里卻無從猜起。因為她根本就從來都沒有出現過。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCryEgMNJYM
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDFMRquZLn
　　於是輿論發酵，開始被編譯成各種版本，然後刪刪減減變為統一經典，再流傳段時間後，最後因為沒人在意而遭到遺棄。一個人的存在感，就只剩下名單上那未被抹去的文字。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB5QAW2qkN
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18G7xmCyM4
　　但當有人又開始發起疑問，對於這樣一個空殼人物為何至今為止都不辦理退休學，而將謠言重新升溫時，她竟然出現了。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV4XuMLKkL
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropW0BbBHD
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zZglheFAy
　　某天，班導領著一個人從教室前方走進來。她沒有依照規矩上先做自我介紹，而是直接被安排到了最後一排最角落的位置，通常這麼做是有原因的，除了同屬最後一排另一端的明旭，明旭說要把他從這個位子上換走除非踏過他的屍體。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKREKUHOvw
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqy1oRSldX
　　愛里是個詭異的女生，但並非會讓人感到害怕或排斥的類型，而是能從她身上輕易地感覺到散發出的強烈呼救聲。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXELScoEnB
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeREKI0UNW
　　她的臉龐前蓋著一片密不透風的瀏海，其他的則束成低雙馬尾掛在胸前。她會從髮絲後頭警戒著任何人，一旦發現有人注意到她，便會縮起身子開始緊張起來。無論課堂上、下課後，她總是處於焦慮之中，防備著周遭的任何一切。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTxoVMTPS
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YXZACkAQF
　　當班上男生在互砸水果時，不小心落在她附近的會害她大哭起來、當飛蟲飛進教室裡頭時，班上女生是被愛里的崩潰嚇到驚愕、當......就算在平靜的午休時間裡，她也會莫名其妙突然尖叫衝出教室之外。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcrBYTuOY0
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5V8F6w1kW
　　是的，她一直在求救，對著不知道是誰，求求這個世界能否不要再繼續傷害她了。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmCIKr7cu5
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrepDyE4FVQ
　　這場短劇只持續不到兩個禮拜，她又在突然之間消失，再度遭人遺忘。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMhu1d4uVh
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMzG7Uwrbu
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3duEjsuZo

　　「唉、」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzLdKbkrP
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNT9EvSvbK
　　走出導師辦公室，確認已經離得夠遠了以後，小卷還是忍不住嘆了口吁。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOUhCbsa9p
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUyHCVntAX
　　「才一個早上而已，我已經累得想要休學了。」她舉起手臂，上面是愛里留下的抓痕，雖然只是短暫性的淺傷，但對心靈的影響是沉重的龐大。「好想哭哦......」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGzOk1usKW
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNON11Jz1
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eykq3JydV
　　班導希望小卷能照顧好愛里，同時幫助她適應學校生活。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1yn73St5
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaZeH9ZzIG
　　但怎麼可能？在明旭眼裡，小卷在生活上連自己都很難照顧好。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyb1a5iSyC
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hSXj3FAnC
　　愛里被安排到教室的最後方角落，但在原本桌椅恰好排滿正方形配置的情況下，她便成為額外獨立出來的一位，對於這能夠比自己還更遠離講台的位子，明旭超級羨慕。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQS4CGjaDS
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4flbjjWN4
　　而即便如此地荒鄉僻壤，愛里似乎仍不滿意，就像那短暫的一週一樣，就算已經間隔了一段漫長的時間，她對於環境的恐慌和無法克制的焦慮表現也絲毫沒有改善的現象，甚至可以說是有增無減。而在小卷乾脆將桌椅搬至她旁邊以便就近安撫後，雖然是出於「自衛」？她甚至就這麼抓傷了小卷。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8fl9IRr4o
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZJeOrojPA
　　煎熬的上午過去，班導要小卷帶她到辦公室去用餐，除了避開較為吵鬧的午餐時間以外，也讓小卷能有個喘息的空間。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZLD42tL05
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl44QAZQzMM
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oVuA2H76c
　　「但我覺得不用太擔心。」明旭偷瞄了小卷一眼，確認她沒有真的哭出來。還好，只是眼角眉梢垂得像辦喪事一樣而已。「不會持續太久的。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGcPsjhMV
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s5Miysqm4
　　「為什麼呢？」小卷問道，但她已經沒有抬起頭的力氣。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb489mnA5yc
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A87zFqCTP
　　「我賭這次不會超過一個禮拜，或許明後天就又會因為適應不良被關回家去了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGly66aAHB
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfNyuCRTo
　　「咦？這樣的話......」突然的慶幸令小卷放慢了腳步，但對於自己萌生這股念頭的罪惡感又隨即壓垮了她嬌小的雙肩。「......這樣的話當然不好呀。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VkfenHACm
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafIvnGWVVa
　　「她又不是妳的責任。」明旭說。「就像妳也不是我的責任一樣，為什麼我要一直被妳抓著跑？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2kPPDPAo
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSehOLcQpX
　　「哇？」小卷一聽，氣得跺腳。「你這個人也太糟糕了吧？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmym0Nwrmxy
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKbWA5XXy
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm4GhowL9m
　　不過，玩鬧歸玩鬧，明旭還是嚴肅了起來，稍微試探一下事情的全貌。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgN6HsG0Xe
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTgXXATKBN
　　「班導有跟妳說過原因嗎？」他回頭察看，確認周遭沒有閒雜人等後，開口問道。「那應該是種焦慮症？還是創傷症候群......之類的，我不知道，但總會有個原因。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwisFsjj1e
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskIv9tWlmS
　　「嗯......」小卷抿起小嘴。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcykQCocnx0
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWJQnPJxPk
　　「為什麼執意要來學校也是個問題，看起來絕對不是她本人的意思，那麼又是誰在強迫她？又為什麼？一般來講，如果她的監護人有足夠常識的話，就算無法負擔治癒療程，也會盡可能地保護好她吧？退一萬步來說，也會為了嫌麻煩而將她隔絕於社會之外，我想不通我們學校能有什麼必需就讀的理由。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX5pdiLoSY
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A4HHC0fyO
　　「我沒有想過這些問題......」小卷又嘆了口吁。「所以就也沒問過班導。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmRVBs2RG
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IWMkBMI9K
　　「我不意外。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh12TBNdTv

　　「喂？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWFjFhNx9P
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPF2qTVdd
　　「反正，妳就再撐個幾天吧。」明旭聳了肩。「在她消失以前，妳還沒被打死的話，就算獲勝了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nezo7DiMK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ebaTJnWjU
　　「哇？你總是比上一秒還要更惡劣耶？」小卷停下腳步，雙手環抱起自己小小的胸口，她瞪著逐漸走遠且即便發現了她也仍不打算停下的明旭。接著，她突然說道。「但這麼說起來，如果我們可以找出原因，是不是就能夠幫上她了？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVTzPwFUWv
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJkO2yxO9
　　「不能。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB38EQLBWkC

　　「不能就對了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXIkKceOYR
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiYG44sZFg
　　「哦......」揣摩了一下明旭現在的態度，小卷恍然大悟。「一定能的對吧！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIuEW0jMOD
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvyC3UcUSl
　　「幹咧？」聽見她麻雀般地腳步聲突然朝自己暴衝，明旭終於停下腳步。「妳不要又找麻煩喔？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuw1YQkwus
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwH4rrqDm1
　　「她是我們的同學。」小卷在她面前停下，踮起腳尖以堅定的態度直視對方嫌惡的眼神。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg3cd6khpm
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbJp5hwsIH
　　「她是『妳』的同學，我對共產主義沒有興趣。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Ls2ODdEa
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItaD1XaKUZ

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgQj20i2Gi
　　「好像很厲害耶......」小卷彎著腰，兩手撐在小巧的膝蓋上，湊近看著明旭將自己好不容易才決定割捨的心愛髮夾折成無以名狀。「之後可以教我嗎？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wclloFOJF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryNOCP0wIY
　　「我有更厲害、更成熟的東西可以教妳，但現在還太早了。」明旭將髮夾插入鑰匙孔。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9TrG7ymD1

　　「太早？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQI3V7xZKR

　　但明旭已經把注意力全都集中在探究鎖孔裡的構造上。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgkzZCkya
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEImYcGsx7u

　　愛里的腳步彷彿被拴著鐵鍊般地沉重，在她透過眼前髮絲能看出去的視線範圍內，還有太多的人影、太多的雜物、太多可以被燃燒、彷彿下一秒就將要成為炙熱火球的事物。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Ca5VAn6U
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxG4IC7ovT
　　因此，她絲毫不敢貿然前進，就深怕一個不小心，鞋底過激的擦響會成為引燃世界的火苗。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPasg2qRUH9
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFx2vbSFR

　　但在走出導師辦公室後才過沒多久，她便在走廊的底端看見了洗手間的入口－－那好不容易才鼓起勇氣提起的避難所終點。她突然加速狂奔，捨棄了身後的一切，因為她知道只要躲進到裡頭，就沒有任何火舌能夠伸手抓住她、肆虐她的身軀和理智。即便這個念頭毫無根據，但她依然肯定。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDth7BdJqJL
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHKVHTOM11
　　越過塑膠門檻，踏入粉色瓷磚打造而成的規矩空間以後，愛里停了下來，雖然胸前仍在拚命地喘息著，但終於能夠稍稍鬆口氣。她發現身旁洗手台的方鏡正映照著自己的容貌。是啊，這毫無疑問地就是她本人，遮掩住臉龐的瀏海、憔悴疲倦的面容、受冷汗沁濕的制服、和狼狽窩囊的姿態。她盯著自己看，然後微微一笑，看見了能夠證明自己確實被滾燙膨脹的惡火永無止盡地蹂躪殘虐的畫面，終於內心感到無比地踏實，因為這就說明了那些所有不相信她的人，全部都是錯誤的，錯得有夠可惡。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvfETWMiJ3

　　愛里的喘息聲隨著情緒的起伏，在空蕩的洗手間裡漸漸平靜了下來，她選擇了最底端的隔間，走了進去，將門給鎖上，然後拿出手機，蹲下。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpnpqPcrEo
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vKpL3rt5I

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4Kl28fl4
　　可能是這一整天......不只，可能是這一輩子最冷靜的時刻，她捫心自問，這通電話真的有撥打的意義嗎？這聲呼救、這聲求饒，真的能夠改變什麼嗎？97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRf0uJVPhV
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwYSzu4H1j

　　這時，腦海中又突然浮現了剛才的畫面－－剛才在鏡子裡的自己。那是多麼令人憐憫、多麼需要救贖的模樣。她因此而下定了決心，擅自宣判自己應得的救贖、也認定對方必須以此作為回應。她對此萬分堅信，於是按下了撥號。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyLkE4JcVE

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZlwGI7vfH
　　低語引導著她，沿著海潮一步步地前去，踏在深海裡的礁石上，乘在洋流的扶持中，依偎在無火無焰的包覆裡。冰涼，卻又溫暖。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOCOkk7nll
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG35uKL8Kr
　　愛里持續地走著，她沒有辦法認知到自己剛才到底經過了哪些地方，可能有走廊、可能有階梯、可能甚至推開了某一扇門。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ianoNTaj
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhGe82Nh4Q
　　然後，一陣風吹過，將她的瀏海髮絲吹散。但這陣風的觸感太過真實，她還想要繼續沉浸在幻境裡頭，享受著早已遺忘且不敢奢望的安全感，但這陣即便微涼卻又滾燙的山風還是把她推回到了現實世界裡。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRvDq2hd6i

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2EX1jyeJa
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzClLDMGnr
　　愛里立刻驚慌地蹲下，幸好這陣風不算強勁，沒有將她從圍牆上推落，但即便如此，她還是拚上了性命才把差點搖晃過頭的自己給抓牢。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3wJwLWQrM
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzZSogyMFq
　　她嚇得都能聽見如狂雷般暴響的心跳聲，全身又冒滿了冷汗，但這次是因為真的差點就步入死亡、摔成了粉碎肉塊。一想到這，她又差點停止了呼吸。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqNFYyZ4sn
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81y0rgmQT
　　往下一看是十二層樓高的差距，無數個在走廊和操場上行走或跑動的身影變得模糊且渺小，人群吵鬧的喧嘩聲傳到這裡時已經只剩下隱約的雜音，地面很遙遠，卻與她之間毫無阻礙，彷彿有股引力正嘗試著將她拉扯。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVJdjUqpa7
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwDsgnNyXQ
　　她感到胃在緊縮、慌喘的呼吸一點也沒有要平復下來的跡象。不過即使明白、她卻也絲毫不敢移動半步將自己帶離圍牆上，就算知道只要向後一躺，雖然可能會受傷，但至少能回到天台的水泥地上，她也還是無法提起勇氣，將牢牢釘死的腳掌移動半步，就怕這世界會因此坍塌。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRGmKckWB0

　　愛里掉進了深海之中。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTCHIbsR7y
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQjDPud6gM
　　她感覺到自己正在不斷地下沉，但同時卻又有一股微弱的浮力推懸著她。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKow0K9uEm
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUyPcr8KBG
　　這一次，和剛才隨著耳邊低語所沉浸的幻覺不太一樣，她真的能感受到海洋允諾給予的擁抱。同時這無比真實的體驗也隨即說服了她的潛意識，迫使她急忙閉氣。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEfAhyMsYM
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmJkwOhD3H
　　而一睜開眼，眼前的景象卻又幾乎令她差點昏厥過去，她不曉得該怎麼接受自己似乎正漂浮在回安中學的半空中這件荒謬的事實。而午餐時段應該吵鬧的校園變得異常寧靜，往周圍與她同高的樓層裡找尋後，才發現原來沉默的原因，是因為完全沒有任何活物存在的關係。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1zC0jMCrj
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5668frAd3e
　　除此之外，這世界彷彿全都被刷淡了色調、又染上了帶藍淺灰。往正上方看去，正午高掛的太陽仍然在原本的位置上，卻一點也不刺眼，甚至在毫不費力地直視下，能夠隱約看見彷彿在中間隔著海面而使視覺產生的波動漣漪。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5uHuCsvG
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6MYRgXyV
　　學校裡一棟棟的建築物、和那些能象徵著美好校園生活的旗桿、司令台、招牌看板、跑道和球場等等的地方，雖然景物依舊，但仍能清楚地察覺到變得老舊與破敗，準確點來說，是彷彿沉入海中的遺跡，在經過累年的浸泡後被侵蝕、傾裂。斑駁剝落的牆面上佈滿古老的壁畫，以簡陋但卻無比真實且生動的輪廓描述著一些令人感到噁心的畸形怪物，而那些相較之下明顯大上許多的畫像，則像是在讚美某種完美華貴的生物，神秘、遙遠、令人嚮往與崇拜，像是......神明一樣？97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRRiL6CC6b
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKjnhOIqpZ
　　至於和自己相比，那些原先就停放在地面上的物件，大如教師的汽車、小至遭人棄置的掃把和飲料垃圾，卻又像完全不屬於這片海洋一樣，仍然接受著地心引力而穩穩吸附於底面，看起來既衝突又詭異。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsMkkzrEoh
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwPzvjE5M
　　蔓生的海草與恣長的珊瑚群點綴著這個世界。她有一瞬間閃過念頭，或許這是在遙遠的未來，在回安鎮沉入了海底，受人遺忘以後，數百萬年的景象。寧靜、寂寞。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRg2HDv4Xh
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81g1UDjCj
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dUeYfGtbN
　　愛里試著撥動雙手，但不曉得是否該感到慶幸？她的位置相應移動了合理的距離，這代表身處的環境是如同於真實的深水之中，她又嘗試踢了雙腳數下，不可置信地看著自己在空中向前緩游。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apjcpXpLb
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYdFsdoXKy
　　因此接下來，她應該盡快決定好自己的方向。如果繼續往上去，或許能游出在那遙遠所見彷彿海面之上的另外一端，並能重新獲得呼吸新鮮空氣的機會，但實際上是否有可能？又會需要多久？她不夠確信的念頭加重了不安感。同時，作為人類的本能正在努力說服著自己往下游，踏踏實實地踩回到地面上去。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOl8DW6SHi
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCuW0zKa5v
　　數秒間如同數萬年，她仍猶豫不決而感到徬徨，但時間卻已經快要不夠用了。在她肺裡和口中所儲存的氧氣將要消耗殆盡，因情緒緊張而過量增加的二氧化碳又令她逐漸窒礙難受，胸口被緊緊地壓扁，意識也逐漸模糊、又強制清晰。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G3EdWr8Ua
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gKLn4B10
　　最後，愛里決定伸長了頸子，雙腳用力一踏，往海面的另一端去。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq4kf4rKNs
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkTgMcDROo
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ287qqRtzwg
　　她拚命擺動四肢，撥划、踢踏著擁抱住她的海水。而這一切似乎比她想像中的容易，她不敢說自己很擅於游泳，但的確是她唯一喜愛且願意進行的運動，只是回想起來，自己從來沒有過像現在這般如此輕易且迅速地徜徉海中的經驗。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtWiL0jqK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaxZ3QvRRP
　　她開始有錯覺認為自己似乎本來就應該屬於這裡。海裡沒有將惡意帶來給她的人類、沒有吵噪且刺眼的文明訊息、最重要的是，沒有任何能被允許的火焰存在。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XYylCcX2
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L5hkuAfyG
　　她頓時驚覺到了這一點。在過去數年之間，她彷彿被關在寂涼荒野之中的破爛小屋，四周有著數以百計的饑渴野獸，正爭先恐後地從門窗和牆頂縫隙之間，利用利爪和尖牙嘗試摧毀及突破，而她卻只能拚命抵擋、拚命大喊呼救，就這麼持續了日日夜夜，不被允許放棄與鬆懈。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rDAO9uaVF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BDE1EGU79
　　然而她總是失敗。野獸總是能夠輕易地闖進小屋撕扯她的肉身－－熾燙的烈火總是能夠輕易地焚盡世界燒毀她的心智。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bdjPyaiS
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDdeYshCYD
　　於是一次又一次，無限循環、無盡承受，看不見任何解脫的機會。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsFlaLmiK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVKVbZh8Hb
　　但此時，在冷靜下來以後，她感受著這一切，恍若一覺驚醒，噩夢依然清晰，卻早已遠去。她身上纏繞的無數火疤浸泡在沁涼的海水裡頭，甚至快要回憶不起尖刺般的痛楚是什麼模樣。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJb4s5Brly
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTtaMoKOAi
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhJ11hOWT6

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMXIUkqqjL

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZt1ZlXA6
　　愛里發現自己正在呼吸著海水，一如原先呼吸空氣時那般自然，雖然大腦還沒完全理解這種現象而屢屢提醒著應該得要感到恐懼，但身體卻同時放了開來，盡情地享受這一切。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFAi7NVgkA

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaERY6YFQjs
　　海水組成了一位穿著華美祭袍的女人，有著一匹比她身長還要再多出一倍的、如絲綢般地扇形長髮，宛若新娘的悠長頭紗飄逸在身後。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksL11bp7f
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXMU2p3AGq
　　她伸手牽起愛里，愛里很驚訝自己竟然沒有感到排斥，反而還超出想像地主動接納下。她領著愛里開始往下方游去。她的移動不需要四肢去做任何撥動的行為，好像一個念頭就能自然而然地隨心前往一樣。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoROzslMXOX

　　「愛里。」那人喚了她。「妳屬於大海。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mMJ2FyHXg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUCsw5Q9i
　　海流再度聚集，這次的雛型體積較小，最後形成了一環飾鍊，那是以某種銀灰色的金屬，打造成一隻隻表面光滑的魚隻剪影後，再依序串連而成的飾冠，在其中的一處，鑲嵌著散發奇異七彩光澤的寶石。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwpsXK7Sm

　　那人以歌聲與她交談，語調從容、高雅、卻又流露著隱約的悲傷。而無論如何，在她的生命之中，從來沒有人待她如此溫柔過。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXEo4lF5Fw
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgSjpdCyn

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt2kZTEThL
　　雖然只有淺淺的數十公分，她仍是狼狽地摔在水泥地面上。而這一摔，也連帶濺起了水花。那些是挾帶在她的制服和頭髮裡的水份，被一起帶回到了這個世界、一起跌在乾燥的陸地上。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsPvb50qT
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMl14l0OS6

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ukQxoEX6
　　緊跟在喊聲後頭，她的肚子裡感受到一股粗魯的腫脹，並隨即沖上食道、灌回喉嚨、從口中湧了出來。97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmCWUf0Ukh
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSIWhdOCd
