How to Escape Time: Music.
How to Sense Time: Writing.

Under the gaze of the full moon, in the boundless sea, a nine-year-old boy sits on the bow and plays the clarinet. The sound of the flute is melodious. His bare feet are hanging on the water, stirring the water one after another, breaking up a sea of stars. .In the cabin, a girl with long hair in a white dress is weaving a fishing net in her hands to salvage meteorite fragments.The boat drifted quietly on the boundless sea, its future uncertain, and the pier behind it had long since disappeared.
"Did you hear the voice?" The girl looked up in the fading moonlight, her voice had a strange clarity, and Matthew had never had the chance to hear her voice before.The boy at the bow didn't look back: "No. Why make a sound? The world doesn't need sound." Anna lowered her head and stopped what she was doing: "Someone is calling you, is it really okay?"
"Why not? You're my best friend and we can always be together." "That would be lonely." "Why? I have you."
"The lonely ones are those who will lose you forever." Saying so, the girl's tears overflowed the cabin.
When the sky was getting dark, a group of people began to climb the remote sea cliff in Seattle, looking back at the city, a cloud of hazy white fog shrouded the sky and the earth.Steve and Alfred took off their glasses and handed them to Wang Yao for safekeeping. Wang Yao was wrapped up tightly, and his backpack was fully equipped, while Ivan was only wearing a thick coat. His cheeks were flushed behind the scarf, as if I don't know what the cold is.
There was no talking, no laughing, and the journey was surprisingly quiet, just preparing for the next highlight.For everything so far, Alfred seems to have passed away, and nothing is important, as long as Matthew can come back.
An hour later, they reached the top of the mountain.Alfred stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliffs of tens of meters sloped to the bottom. The seawater rose and submerged the uneven rocks.Wang Yao patted him on the shoulder: "Including the preparations for the funeral are complete, you can go with peace of mind."
"Don't say such a terrible thing!" The atmosphere suddenly became lively.Alfred raised his middle finger: "Why do you have such an expression on your face? I jumped hundreds of times in Chicago when I was a child!"
"Nonsense, you jumped from a small bridge several meters high." Steve said quietly.Wang Yao couldn't help laughing, and quickly suppressed his smile and took out something from his backpack: "Ahem, stop making trouble. Okay, it's 7:23, and I announce that the last scene of "Black Swan Lake" - no NG, Action !"
"This is the last time, brother, and I will never lie to you from now on." Alfred stood on the edge of the cliff and was blown precariously by the strong wind, but he stood straight, "I tell you, I agree You're going to die, I don't mind where you want to be with whoever you want, you can do whatever you want, I don't care at all."
"I even fell in love with Steve a little bit," Alfred gestured with his fingers, "I kind of think it's good to be a brother with him, at least better than you. I don't want you anymore, and you don't want me anyway."
"Everything I did before was meaningless. You personally denied me."
Alfred forced a smile: "I hate you. Remember, you killed me, you forced me to death, and I will make you never have peace."
When the devil killed the white swan by the Swan Lake, the prince was swearing a marriage contract with the black swan on the altar. When he found the white swan's body, he jumped into the lake to commit suicide in despair.Ivan rushed forward suddenly, and pushed Alfred down fiercely. His figure fell off the cliff like a wind-blown autumn leaf!
"Al..." Wang Yao's shout was stuck in the middle, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes, his thinking was completed in a flash, and he instantly realized that they had succeeded.The tone of the second half of the shouting suddenly changed: "...Fred, hold on to him! Don't let go even if you die—!"
The wind was howling, the heart was beating like a drum, but Alfred, who was weightless, couldn't help laughing, and opened his hands to the dangling figure directly above him, waiting for him to come down and hug him.It's him!Every time he came to save himself, every time he was desperate... Besides him, who else could it be?O first light of the dawn Alfred!
As they both tumbled into the icy water, Arthur and Francis raced their motorboat out of the shadow of the cliff to rescue them.However, an unexpected scene appeared. There was a sound of explosion on the surface of the water, and the countercurrent waves spurted out a huge spray several meters high. Two figures emerged from the white spray——the twins actually made a wave. The giant wave lifts itself out of the water!This was the first time anyone else had witnessed the power of telekinesis.
It was Alfred who was weeping with joy, hugging the fainted Matthew tightly in the violent wind and huge waves.
"Matthew, open your eyes..."
The clarinet broke and sank into the sea, and the full moon was swallowed by dark clouds.Anna stood up, holding a dying butterfly leaf in one hand, and pointed to a shadow in the distance with the other: "Matthew, look over there, please, look over there quickly."
The butterfly's wings struggled, and the boat pushed through the fog. The large shadow turned out to be a sea cliff blocking their way, and a familiar figure on the edge of the cliff was driven to a dead end. An ethereal voice could be heard faintly: "I I hate you...you forced me to die...I want you to never have peace." The white devil emerged from the darkness and pushed him off the cliff, his thin figure was torn by the strong wind, and he was about to fall into the abyss.
"Matthew!" Anna screamed.At the same time as she spoke, the withered leaf butterfly had already taken off, transformed from a butterfly into a boy, and from a boy into a man in an instant, and plunged into the sea!Behind what he couldn't see, Anna stood at the bow of the boat hand in hand with the young Steve, the boy and the girl faced the hurricane of life rushing from another world in the vast sea of time, wiped away their tears and smiled brightly: "— - Matthew, you must live well!"
In order to save everything that is most important to him, he dived into the deep sea under great pressure and suffocation pain, struggled frantically forward, and finally floated up from the other side of the sea reborn, was lifted up by the huge waves of the real world, and breathed again out into the fresh air, once again in the arms of his twin brother.
"It felt like a nightmare. At the end of the dream, you woke me up. However, I did lose a lot, my best friend, the girl who liked me, and my other brother."
"Have we made meaningless sacrifices? Not really. Although we have encountered many injustices, the current situation is quite ideal. It can be said that we are making progress."
"I used to wish I was a normal person countless times, but now that I think about it, if I were a normal person, I would have to let Alf bear everything. You know, I am more afraid of him getting hurt than myself. So, I am very lucky."
"Finally, thank you and everyone else." Matthew sat up from the hospital bed and hugged Wang Yao and Ivan.
"The great significance of this play is not only to wake you up," Wang Yao blinked, "it also proves your desire to survive. Now we can think that your previous suicidal tendencies were due to your supernatural powers, and you yourself have A reason to have to live for it." Ivan interrupted: "Is that the guy?"
"It's always been like this before. I made a promise to live for him. But..." "But?" "The promise was broken when I chose to leave. When I chose to come back, it was actually for myself . not only save Alfred because he's in danger, but save him because I'm going to be sad."
"It feels like Alfred will cry when he hears it. He is not No.1 in your heart." Wang Yao joked.Matthew scratched the back of his head: "How should I put it... This is a normal person, isn't it?"
"I think it's a good thing. Now, one of the three of us has finally recovered." Ivan clasped his hands together.Wang Yao glanced at him: "This sentence is quite meaningful, Vanya. But I will not mention it in advance, Matthew, I am afraid that your adventure is only temporarily suspended." He explained the reason why the twins had to flee .
"Is that so...?" Matthew's reaction was very light, "That can't be helped."
"Should it be you?" Wang Yao smiled easily, "In fact, Seattle and Vancouver have recently built a railway, and the first train 'Carnival' will be opened soon, and the first batch of passengers do not need ID cards , as long as they enter the territory of Canada, they will be automatically recognized as Canadian citizens. The first batch of tickets is naturally priceless, but I can definitely get two, and I will give you both , You can figure it out yourself." Wang Yao stared at Matthew closely, trying to see a little vulnerability from his face.Matthew thought for a while: "...It's also called 'Carnival'? What a coincidence."
"Well, I don't think that's the point." Ivan smiled.Matthew couldn't help laughing: "Sorry, just kidding. If you do this, I will definitely act according to my wishes, thank you for believing in me." Wang Yao pretended to be distressed: "Oh, Alfred may be angry Bar."
"Then, let's put it aside first, I want to know what you plan to do." Matthew looked at Wang Yao and Ivan who were looking at each other gently, "Are you going to settle in Seattle too?"
"It's impossible for me. There are so many things to do and I don't have time to take care of me. After a while, I will join other teams." Wang Yao said calmly.Ivan held his chin: "I also don't think I will stop, after all, there is no such reason. Well, I will leave after resting here for a few months."
"Well, I wanted to ask you to take care of Arthur. If we leave, he must be the one who will suffer the most." Matthew looked out the window, his back was helpless, "I always feel like I saw something, we Everyone is drifting in a lonely boat, only a rope keeps us from the land. Now, have I finally got the knife that can cut the rope and the strength to climb ashore by myself..."
"I will cherish this opportunity."
Outside the ward, Arthur and Francis were leaning side by side by the window, facing the beautiful coastline, where gulls were flying and the sea was sparkling.Arthur was a little listless, and Francis asked, "Where is Little Al?"
"Too emotional, in isolation." Arthur scratched his hair irritably, "Although Matthew has been successfully awakened, can they return to their original relationship? I don't know how Wang Yao and the others are talking... Francis said without hesitation, "Of course not."
"Are you owed, you bastard?" Arthur's eyes suddenly became terrified.Francis waved his hand: "I know I'm alive and well, but don't look at me with those scary eyes that haven't eaten enough? Also, I mean, after going through so many things and revealing so many past events at once, They can't go back to the past, but is that a bad thing? When people grow up, they will lose part of the past. The question is, can they accept the new situation and get back together?"
"If not, I'll let them stand hand in hand in the square until they get together." "Wow, pervert..." Francis was stomped hard.
"Don't worry so much, they are all adults. One day, they will leave you." Francis lay on the window sill, with the sea breeze blowing his golden hair, "Are you planning to take root in this city next time?" Arthur nodded: "This is a brand new place, no one knows us, no one will know what we have encountered, and no one will look at us with strange eyes. I also like Chicago, but there... "
"Hey, Arthur, can you promise me something?" Francis suddenly looked serious.Some of Arthur was bluffed by this usual idle guy: "What, what are you doing? Tell me first and listen."
"Can you..." Francis' serious eyes were extremely confusing, "marry me?"
"Huh...?" Arthur's emotions fluctuated between shock and anger for a few seconds, he spoke slowly to avoid biting his tongue, "You have three seconds to explain the reason, and then I will Decide how hard you are going to be beaten." Francis spoke quickly: "Seattle has a tax for singles, but couples have subsidies!" Arthur raised his fist expressionlessly, but put it down again, and sighed: "Are you stupid? ? This is a hospital, keep your voice down."
"Everyone is stupid, here is the carnival of stupid. Now that you have decided, I will cooperate with you a little..." Francis turned around, Arthur had already lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, he I really wonder where this man got such a luxury.He snatched the cigarette from Arthur's mouth, and while saying "no smoking in the hospital", he put the filter into his mouth and took a deep breath. Arthur stared at him: "...Hey, give me back the cigarette."
"Okay." Francis quickly stuffed the cigarette back into Arthur's mouth and ran away.Arthur threw away the cigarette and flew over to catch up, and the two of them ran amok in the hospital corridor like unreasonable children: "Stop me, you bearded and red wine cowboy bastard!" ..."
Alfred sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table by himself, wolfed down a whole blue road family bucket, cried while eating, not knowing what he was doing, and finally drank a large glass of iced Coke, his stomach finally gasped. The sound of protest, he clutched his abdomen and collapsed to death on the floor——Wang Yao saw the mess of the place as soon as he came back.
"Hey, I haven't applied for cemetery insurance for you yet, don't die so fast." Wang Yao touched Alfred's back with his toe. The "corpse" was wriggling face down, and the carpet was covered with water stains: "Is he okay?"
"Very well, it's better to say that nothing happened. I've been discharged from the hospital now, and I'm waiting outside the door." As soon as the words fell, Alfred got up suddenly and rushed into the room. When he came out, he was a handsome young man again , He also found time to do half a set of aerobics.Wang Yao helped him tidy up the room a little bit, and before leaving, he deliberately said loudly: "What is this? Is this the first time a junior high school student invites his girlfriend into the room?!"
"You go!" Alfred grabbed the bear doll and threw it towards the door. It missed Wang Yao, but hit Matthew's door. A scream stuck in Alfred's throat and couldn't get up or down.Matthew held the doll in his arms: "Well... what a strange way to welcome, Alfred." Matthew walked into the room and approached Alfred, but every time he took a step, Alfred seemed like Facing the enemy, he took a step back.
"What's the matter? I'm not Steve." Matthew was helpless.Alfred looked wary: "Have you heard anything from them?"
"Understood," Matthew nodded, "I know everything." He kept the same smile as before.Alfred was horrified: "Including, I lied to you?" Matthew nodded, "Also, the matter of supernatural powers?" Nodding, "Then, Steve and Anna..." Still nodding.Alfred looked like he was going to pass out, and Matthew put the doll on the sofa, and there were still leftover chicken bones hidden under the rug: "It would be a lie to say that I am not angry, but I have told a lot of lies Is it? So even." Alfred stood in the corner helplessly.
"Hey, Alf, can you listen to me? Steve is gone, I can't see him, he went to accompany Anna, and they finally asked me to 'live well'. We have been together for more than ten years, and suddenly we see It’s still very lonely without seeing him.” Matthew wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, “When I was in the lab, he was always with me. Speaking of which, Alf was not caught in the lab, you are lucky, real."
"They, those people... Do you remember the girls we met in Los Angeles? They killed Meg." Tears kept rolling down Matthew's cheeks, and he still couldn't forget Meg's bitter smile on the other side of the mirror.There was a sudden rustling in the room, and Alfred noticed that the debris in all directions began to vibrate and gradually lifted into the air.Alfred sank his heart: "I really don't know what the laboratory is like. At that time, I met a group of new partners. We tried to rescue you."
"Alfr, it's really scary there. They don't treat you as a human being at all. We are just experimental animals, just guinea pigs." The soaring object began to rotate around Matthew, and the speed gradually increased, reminding Alfred The scene of knives flying around Matthew many years ago, "I begged them to come to me, but they would do anything to force me. I don't even have the right to die."
Memories about the little girl flooded into his mind one after another. In the center of the storm, Matthew broke down in tears: "I really want to kill them."
As soon as Alfred raised his hand, the tornado stopped immediately, and the object fell to the ground with a crackling sound. He stepped on the debris and slowly approached Matthew: "I'm glad you didn't do that, because if things turned out like that, I'm sure I can't get you back."
"If you want to do it, you should have done it ten years ago. Now..." "That's not what I mean, I mean, no matter what time or situation Matthew is, he can't do such a thing as killing a person." "Why can you make such an assertion? Now I have lost the safety valve of Steve." Matthew looked up, eyes full of sadness and despair.
"Your expression is exactly the same as Steve before." Alfred held out his hand to Matthew, "Have you forgotten? You are the 'listener' and I am the 'talker', no matter what happens we are We are one body, we are blood brothers - give me your hand, Matthew." Alfred held Matthew's hand, and the mess on the ground changed again, and everything flew back to its original position without authorization. In an instant, The room was restored to tidy.The curtains opened automatically, but there were dark clouds outside, Alfred sighed: "The weather is not good today."
"The ability that can only be activated normally when the two of us are together, doesn't it feel like cheating?" Matthew smiled bitterly, "I used to be so troubled by myself, afraid that I would lose control and hurt others. In the end, it was never just my responsibility."
"It's our responsibility." Alfred imagined a scene in his mind, a scene he saw in the crib, a piece of memory he most wanted to share with Matthew.They appeared, tiny stardust floating in the dazzling light spots, tinkling and circling around the twins irregularly, like the satellites around Jupiter, dazzling.Matthew was dazzled and amazed: "This is...?"
"Memories from my infancy." Alfred held Matthew's face and pressed his forehead against it. "We were lying together like this, and no one could tell who was who." The two pairs of pupils deeply touched each other. Looking into it deeply, Alfred said softly: "As you can see, I've grown up and can control this ability, it's actually not that bad." Sea blue eyes sparkled: "Please don't hate it, After all, it's part of me and part of you, and it's the strongest connection we have."
"Well." Matthew's tears dried up and would not flow any more, he kissed Alfred before he could say that, and said with a smile, "I love you, Alfred, I forgive you and to redeem you forever."
"I love you too, Matthew, so I forgive you and give you all I have." The twins hugged each other tightly in the dark corner, just like the two little embryos who first fell asleep in the womb.
☆、Day N
"Face the light, and the shadows will always be behind me." ——American proverb
"Get up... get up, Alf." The big bag bulging under the bed didn't move.Matthew opened the curtains, and the room was brightly lit. He tore off the quilt abruptly, and Alfred, who was sleepy, said incoherently: "I woke up, no, I'll sleep again..." Matthew pinched his cheek: " That's what you said half an hour ago. Have you forgotten what day it is?"
"What happened today—wow!" He was kicked out of bed by Matthew.Alfred struggled to get up and shouted excitedly: "I remember! Wait for me!" Matthew sighed helplessly and turned back to the kitchen. The oven just dinged and the cake was freshly baked .Alfred came back with a basket of fruit to cut.
The church bell rang twelve times, and a snow-like seagull was circling in the calm sea. The early summer wind, as always, blew through the streets and alleys of Seattle, and the new buildings that were taking shape, and the ivy on the walls of the apartments bathed Summer invaded the window again, and there was a crisp car bell downstairs, and Alfred shouted urgently: "They're back!"
"Report to Captain Alfred, everything has been arranged!" Matthew poured a drink into the last glass.As soon as the door was opened, the twins fired a salute: "Happy birthday, Arthur!"
Arthur's face was full of surprises, but he tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, his face was blushing, and finally he just stroked the twins' heads vigorously, and sighed: "You guys..." Francis laughed: "It really is a very interesting reaction!"
It is now June, and Matthew has lived in Seattle for six months. The ordinary daily life seems to return to him, and the crazy adventure of the month last year has gradually faded away. He is sincerely grateful for every bit of happiness value.What reminded him of the coming storm from time to time were Wang Yao's exhortations, the ability practice with Alfred and the empty mirror.Waking up from that nightmare, Matthew gained treasures beyond imagination, such as courage, freedom, and memory.
Also, since working with Alfred has become more proficient, the others are no longer afraid of falling or knocking things over, and sometimes they also act as vacuum cleaners, Arthur said: "It's like having two superheroes in the family. Matthew knows that telekinetic power must not fall into the hands of others, but it cannot be wasted on them, they must learn to use it to protect each other.Only by conquering this ability can the side effects it brings be suppressed, and they can survive.
"I won't blow out the candles anymore, those who believe in birthday wishes are kids." Arthur started to pull out the colorful candles.Alfred shouted in disappointment: "What's the point of not blowing out the candles on the birthday cake? It's a cake made by me and Matthew!" Francis waved his hand: "This cake is definitely 90% made by little Matthew, and little Alfred at most Just put some fruit." Matthew smiled: "If it doesn't taste good, please don't take offense."
There was a ringing at the door, and Alfred rushed to open the door: "Welcome to my birthday party!" Outside the door were Wang Yao and Ivan, and Wang Yao shook the tea bag in his hand: "How can dessert be without black tea?" Ya Se slapped the table and said, "Just wait for this!"
"Well, I dreamed about this party the day before yesterday, and I just wanted to see everyone having fun, so I followed along." Ivan put his hands behind his back, showing a bright sunflower unbelievably, "I can eat it too A piece of cake?" Matthew specially cut a piece with strawberries for him.
The sofas and stools in the small apartment were full. Matthew plucked the guitar strings, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" around Arthur. When it was his turn to give gifts, Alfred whispered to Arthur: "Arthur Arthur, what do you want?" Arthur rolled his eyes: "A grown-up doesn't wish for gifts." He put the twins' plain brown paper box on his knees, and felt something moving inside. When I opened it, I found it was a newly weaned British short-haired cat with mottled fur, pink nose and mouth, and kept meowing "Mimi". The collar around the neck was engraved with the surname of "Kirkland". Ser's heart was moved shamefully.
"Next is my brother's gift, you can look forward to it!" Francis opened his small gift box, Arthur glanced at it, grabbed the box and covered his face: "I know you can't give anything good!" Francis laughed while running: "Isn't this bad? It's practical and beautiful, what a brother's taste!" The two circled around in the living room, and the apartment fell out.
When the doorbell rang again, Ivan was teasing the kitten in his hands, Wang Yao was drinking tea, Alfred, Arthur and Francis were still wrestling, and only Matthew was free to receive it.There were two people in cycling clothes standing outside the door, who looked familiar: "Hi, this is... ah, it's you! It seems we found the right one, Felix."
With brown shawl hair and blond hair, Matthew blinked and suddenly realized: "You are... Torris and Felix from 'King Qi'!" Torris was a little surprised: "You still remember us, thank you so much .It has been more than half a year since we met near San Francisco. Excuse me, how are you all at the Fool's Carnival?" Matthew opened the door and let them see the chaos inside: "As you can see, they are all in good spirits .Do you want to come in and play?"
"Ah, no, we are just entrusted to deliver some things." Torres took out some letters and a video camera from his backpack. If Matthew remembers correctly, the video camera was given to "Rocket" by Alfred "Da Parade. Line", "We have been traveling, and later we passed through Los Angeles, and met some new friends. They all asked us to send these things to Seattle's 'Fairies of Fools'."
"It turned out to be like this, thank you so much. Are you going to continue traveling?" Matthew accepted the letter and the camera.Torres nodded: "We used to want to find a new home, but recently I found that it doesn't matter where we live, as long as we are with him, anywhere is home, so we don't have to stay." Felix put his arms around Torres's Shoulder said to Matthew: "This guy is really super nasty, right?"
"No matter what, I wish you happiness." The two sides wished each other, and the tandem motorcycle of "Wang Qi" left in the dust.Matthew closed the door, checked the signatures on the letters, and one of them caught his attention immediately: "How...is it possible...?"
That was Meg's name.
"Matthew, there is good news." Wang Yao hurried out of the office building of the Alien Association, and said to Matthew who was waiting outside, "I just contacted the Los Angeles branch, and they told me that the person named 'Meg' The girl is still alive, and she has never left Los Angeles in the past six months." Matthew was puzzled: "But I obviously..."
"I never told you that the supernatural power of the doctor in charge of you is an illusion." Wang Yao said seriously, "Think about it carefully, have you ever touched the Meg you met in the laboratory? Matthew shook his head blankly: "We are isolated...I heard her voice..." He suddenly remembered that the "Meg's voice" he heard was a woman's screaming, this kind of Voices are often easily confused.Wang Yao explained: "His hallucination ability is activated through language, and he will induce you to imagine the illusion that you are afraid of. That girl is an ordinary person, and it is quite troublesome for them to attack ordinary people."
"So, is she really still alive?" Matthew's voice trembled, and Wang Yao nodded firmly.Matthew looked down at the letter in his hand, restrained not to open it: "Thank you, this is enough."
Back at the apartment, everyone else was fiddling with the video camera, trying to get the footage on the monitor.The other two letters belonged to Natasha and "Rocket Parade". The second letter informed them that Honda Ju had started his plane journey.Everyone closed the curtains and took their seats. The monitor flickered and the picture gradually became clear: "Uh... ciao? Everyone, can you hear me?"
The first thing that appeared was the trio of "Rocket Parade. Walk" sitting on the grass of the Beschmidt farm, with the sun shining in the background, Feliciano waved excitedly: "Everyone, remember us? You saw this The video shows that you have arrived in Seattle, congratulations!" The three applauded.Honda Ju smiled: "At the same time, I am not in the United States anymore. I have been taken care of for a long time."
"Yeah, we've really worked hard together for a long time! These guys finally graduated!" Gilbert suddenly appeared with a big head making a face, and then disappeared out of the screen.Feliciano made a heart-shaped gesture: "In short, let's show you our life in the past few months!"
As soon as the picture turned, the screen turned into five young people running under the sun. Elizabeth gave a thumbs up to the camera from a distance. Behind her was a modified propeller plane. The young people were gobbling up on the open-air dining table. For some reason Feliciano lay on the ground crying, Honda Ju pressed the wrong button in a hurry, Gilbert's voice-over was so loud that it was distorted, Ludwig with a stomach ache pushed fertilizer past the vegetable greenhouse, Antonio posed in front of the Los Angeles monument Put a fresh bouquet...
When the night was dark and the wind was high, they lit a grand bonfire and painted the plane while cheering. In the shaking camera, the words "Rocket Parade. Go - Send Honda Chrysanthemum home" were impressively displayed on the fuselage. Looking back, Honda Chrysanthemum was walking and crying in the dimly lit place, Feliciano rushed over to hug him, as a result more and more people came over and surrounded them, including many strangers whom the "Fool's Carnival" did not know, and finally even The cameras were all thrown away, and everyone could only see various shoes.
The picture came back on, and Feliciano started to walk around with the camera: "In the past few months, news of Ju's going home has spread in Los Angeles. Many people have come to help us, and everyone is blessing us. Everyone, come and fight Say hello!" The picture suddenly became brighter, and the gate of the Beshmit Farm was crowded with people, at least hundreds of people shouted in unison under the blue sky and white clouds: "cheese—"
Feliciano blinked: "Hey, we're actually taking pictures."
The picture swayed among the crowd and rose slowly. Elizabeth in a wedding dress stood by the altar looking pure and beautiful, and beside her was Gilbert in a suit and leather shoes.At a moment that should have been solemn and solemn, for some reason, Elizabeth began to beat Gilbert with a bouquet. The scene was chaotic, everyone laughed, and all the "Fools' Carnival" applauded.When Elizabeth threw the bouquet, Matthew caught a familiar red shadow sharply. It turns out that she is really alive, which is really great...
The children in the orphanage scrambled to shout to the camera. Someone said, "Teacher, Wang Jialong has been adopted and he went to Sacramento." They were dressed neatly and sang the songs taught by Wang Yao at the entrance of the hospital. One of Arthur’s familiar boys played the piano solo. In the end, everyone giggled, blushed like apples, and waved their hands vigorously. The densely packed little hands were like grass tips blowing in the wind. : "Teacher, you must come back to see us!" Wang Yao stared at his children intently.
Many hands put together: "Come on!"
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the engine, the plane took off and went far away. Feliciano ran for a long time in the open field. He spread his hands towards the vast sky and looked back with a tearful smile. Derwig walked up to him and they put their shoulders on each other.
The video fell silent, and Feliciano appeared to have turned off the recording function.The camera started to move, as if accompanying a person's life. It traveled all over the city of Los Angeles, witnessing the sunrise and sunset of Los Angeles, people coming and going, and witnessing its dilapidation and new life.Time passed quietly until the lights went out.
At the end of the video is still Feliciano’s smile. He is sitting alone on the window sill peeling potatoes, and his movements are very neat: “Everyone, do you still remember the letter we left for travelers in the seaside resort?” Maybe the world It’s over, but life is not over. No matter you are poor or rich, no matter whether you are born, old, sick or dead, no matter whether you are aliens or ordinary people, as long as we are born as human beings, hope will always be ahead’…don’t forget.”
A big "V" gesture: "I love you guys, you must... try to live!"
Feliciano touched the switch of the camera with his backhand, and the monitor went black.
To Matthew Williams:
Maybe you have forgotten me long ago, but I still remember you; this is my first letter to you and the last letter between us.Please don't write me back and go on your own way.
Dear Matthew, we only met once half a year ago, and after that it was a farewell. There was no agreement, no love, nothing between us. I never dared to expect you to come back like a shepherd boy.You will think of me by chance, just like I will think of you, and this is the best ending for us.
To me, you are the most special one among the wild geese going south. It won't come back next year, and I can't stop it from leaving this year.I didn't lie that night, the first time I saw you, I felt like I saw myself, and then I was convinced that I liked this person. This kind of relationship is not the type of staying together, but a spark of a moment, but it is enough to remember in the heart.
I really appreciate you, you ended this drama with me, you left me with good memories, and, I guess you found something in me too.You are looking at another person through me, a person who left you with regrets, so you let go this time, who is that person?I kind of envy her.I don't know if it's a good thing, but hopefully, you don't have to feel sorry anymore.
From now on I will move on with my life, find someone else, work, get married, have kids, watch this city without you from my couch, and leave quietly.For me, this kind of life is not bad.
But you are different from me. Although you didn't say it, I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, and you are destined to have a big adventure.The only thing I can do is to pray for your safety, pray for happiness, and pray for a destination at the end of the great adventure.
Spring is gone, summer is here, and the migratory birds will spread their wings and fly high, taking my unattainable expectations to a distant place that I can't think of.Matthew, I would that all prayers gather around you and bring you all you desire—that is all that my poor hands can bestow on you.
forever meg
"Okay, okay, brother Gilbert... really don't need so many things." Feliciano tried in vain to stop Gilbert from frantically stuffing luggage into the trunk.Gilbert packed another box excitedly: "You guys have been out for a long time this time, so what if you're not ready?" Ludwig stood aside and opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.Feliciano and him looked at each other: When Gilbert is gone, unload things quickly.
In spring, Feliciano planted a bed of cornflowers, which bloomed with blue petals and yellow hairy centers, and it became a habit for him and Ludwig to lie on the grass and take a nap.It's not a rush to start. They sat down and ate ham sandwiches. Feliciano sighed: "It will be a long time before we can eat such delicious food."
"You can come back anytime." Ludwig's hand rested on the ground, overlapping with Feliciano's.Feliciano laid down leisurely with his head in his arms, and the sun was shining brightly: "Luther, does our previous agreement still count?"
"If you think it counts." "Of course, don't look at me like this, I will try my best to protect the promise."

Under the gaze of the full moon, in the boundless sea, a nine-year-old boy sits on the bow and plays the clarinet. The sound of the flute is melodious. His bare feet are hanging on the water, stirring the water one after another, breaking up a sea of stars. .In the cabin, a girl with long hair in a white dress is weaving a fishing net in her hands to salvage meteorite fragments.The boat drifted quietly on the boundless sea, its future uncertain, and the pier behind it had long since disappeared.
"Did you hear the voice?" The girl looked up in the fading moonlight, her voice had a strange clarity, and Matthew had never had the chance to hear her voice before.The boy at the bow didn't look back: "No. Why make a sound? The world doesn't need sound." Anna lowered her head and stopped what she was doing: "Someone is calling you, is it really okay?"
"Why not? You're my best friend and we can always be together." "That would be lonely." "Why? I have you."
"The lonely ones are those who will lose you forever." Saying so, the girl's tears overflowed the cabin.
When the sky was getting dark, a group of people began to climb the remote sea cliff in Seattle, looking back at the city, a cloud of hazy white fog shrouded the sky and the earth.Steve and Alfred took off their glasses and handed them to Wang Yao for safekeeping. Wang Yao was wrapped up tightly, and his backpack was fully equipped, while Ivan was only wearing a thick coat. His cheeks were flushed behind the scarf, as if I don't know what the cold is.
There was no talking, no laughing, and the journey was surprisingly quiet, just preparing for the next highlight.For everything so far, Alfred seems to have passed away, and nothing is important, as long as Matthew can come back.
An hour later, they reached the top of the mountain.Alfred stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The cliffs of tens of meters sloped to the bottom. The seawater rose and submerged the uneven rocks.Wang Yao patted him on the shoulder: "Including the preparations for the funeral are complete, you can go with peace of mind."
"Don't say such a terrible thing!" The atmosphere suddenly became lively.Alfred raised his middle finger: "Why do you have such an expression on your face? I jumped hundreds of times in Chicago when I was a child!"
"Nonsense, you jumped from a small bridge several meters high." Steve said quietly.Wang Yao couldn't help laughing, and quickly suppressed his smile and took out something from his backpack: "Ahem, stop making trouble. Okay, it's 7:23, and I announce that the last scene of "Black Swan Lake" - no NG, Action !"
"This is the last time, brother, and I will never lie to you from now on." Alfred stood on the edge of the cliff and was blown precariously by the strong wind, but he stood straight, "I tell you, I agree You're going to die, I don't mind where you want to be with whoever you want, you can do whatever you want, I don't care at all."
"I even fell in love with Steve a little bit," Alfred gestured with his fingers, "I kind of think it's good to be a brother with him, at least better than you. I don't want you anymore, and you don't want me anyway."
"Everything I did before was meaningless. You personally denied me."
Alfred forced a smile: "I hate you. Remember, you killed me, you forced me to death, and I will make you never have peace."
When the devil killed the white swan by the Swan Lake, the prince was swearing a marriage contract with the black swan on the altar. When he found the white swan's body, he jumped into the lake to commit suicide in despair.Ivan rushed forward suddenly, and pushed Alfred down fiercely. His figure fell off the cliff like a wind-blown autumn leaf!
"Al..." Wang Yao's shout was stuck in the middle, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes, his thinking was completed in a flash, and he instantly realized that they had succeeded.The tone of the second half of the shouting suddenly changed: "...Fred, hold on to him! Don't let go even if you die—!"
The wind was howling, the heart was beating like a drum, but Alfred, who was weightless, couldn't help laughing, and opened his hands to the dangling figure directly above him, waiting for him to come down and hug him.It's him!Every time he came to save himself, every time he was desperate... Besides him, who else could it be?O first light of the dawn Alfred!
As they both tumbled into the icy water, Arthur and Francis raced their motorboat out of the shadow of the cliff to rescue them.However, an unexpected scene appeared. There was a sound of explosion on the surface of the water, and the countercurrent waves spurted out a huge spray several meters high. Two figures emerged from the white spray——the twins actually made a wave. The giant wave lifts itself out of the water!This was the first time anyone else had witnessed the power of telekinesis.
It was Alfred who was weeping with joy, hugging the fainted Matthew tightly in the violent wind and huge waves.
"Matthew, open your eyes..."
The clarinet broke and sank into the sea, and the full moon was swallowed by dark clouds.Anna stood up, holding a dying butterfly leaf in one hand, and pointed to a shadow in the distance with the other: "Matthew, look over there, please, look over there quickly."
The butterfly's wings struggled, and the boat pushed through the fog. The large shadow turned out to be a sea cliff blocking their way, and a familiar figure on the edge of the cliff was driven to a dead end. An ethereal voice could be heard faintly: "I I hate you...you forced me to die...I want you to never have peace." The white devil emerged from the darkness and pushed him off the cliff, his thin figure was torn by the strong wind, and he was about to fall into the abyss.
"Matthew!" Anna screamed.At the same time as she spoke, the withered leaf butterfly had already taken off, transformed from a butterfly into a boy, and from a boy into a man in an instant, and plunged into the sea!Behind what he couldn't see, Anna stood at the bow of the boat hand in hand with the young Steve, the boy and the girl faced the hurricane of life rushing from another world in the vast sea of time, wiped away their tears and smiled brightly: "— - Matthew, you must live well!"
In order to save everything that is most important to him, he dived into the deep sea under great pressure and suffocation pain, struggled frantically forward, and finally floated up from the other side of the sea reborn, was lifted up by the huge waves of the real world, and breathed again out into the fresh air, once again in the arms of his twin brother.
"It felt like a nightmare. At the end of the dream, you woke me up. However, I did lose a lot, my best friend, the girl who liked me, and my other brother."
"Have we made meaningless sacrifices? Not really. Although we have encountered many injustices, the current situation is quite ideal. It can be said that we are making progress."
"I used to wish I was a normal person countless times, but now that I think about it, if I were a normal person, I would have to let Alf bear everything. You know, I am more afraid of him getting hurt than myself. So, I am very lucky."
"Finally, thank you and everyone else." Matthew sat up from the hospital bed and hugged Wang Yao and Ivan.
"The great significance of this play is not only to wake you up," Wang Yao blinked, "it also proves your desire to survive. Now we can think that your previous suicidal tendencies were due to your supernatural powers, and you yourself have A reason to have to live for it." Ivan interrupted: "Is that the guy?"
"It's always been like this before. I made a promise to live for him. But..." "But?" "The promise was broken when I chose to leave. When I chose to come back, it was actually for myself . not only save Alfred because he's in danger, but save him because I'm going to be sad."
"It feels like Alfred will cry when he hears it. He is not No.1 in your heart." Wang Yao joked.Matthew scratched the back of his head: "How should I put it... This is a normal person, isn't it?"
"I think it's a good thing. Now, one of the three of us has finally recovered." Ivan clasped his hands together.Wang Yao glanced at him: "This sentence is quite meaningful, Vanya. But I will not mention it in advance, Matthew, I am afraid that your adventure is only temporarily suspended." He explained the reason why the twins had to flee .
"Is that so...?" Matthew's reaction was very light, "That can't be helped."
"Should it be you?" Wang Yao smiled easily, "In fact, Seattle and Vancouver have recently built a railway, and the first train 'Carnival' will be opened soon, and the first batch of passengers do not need ID cards , as long as they enter the territory of Canada, they will be automatically recognized as Canadian citizens. The first batch of tickets is naturally priceless, but I can definitely get two, and I will give you both , You can figure it out yourself." Wang Yao stared at Matthew closely, trying to see a little vulnerability from his face.Matthew thought for a while: "...It's also called 'Carnival'? What a coincidence."
"Well, I don't think that's the point." Ivan smiled.Matthew couldn't help laughing: "Sorry, just kidding. If you do this, I will definitely act according to my wishes, thank you for believing in me." Wang Yao pretended to be distressed: "Oh, Alfred may be angry Bar."
"Then, let's put it aside first, I want to know what you plan to do." Matthew looked at Wang Yao and Ivan who were looking at each other gently, "Are you going to settle in Seattle too?"
"It's impossible for me. There are so many things to do and I don't have time to take care of me. After a while, I will join other teams." Wang Yao said calmly.Ivan held his chin: "I also don't think I will stop, after all, there is no such reason. Well, I will leave after resting here for a few months."
"Well, I wanted to ask you to take care of Arthur. If we leave, he must be the one who will suffer the most." Matthew looked out the window, his back was helpless, "I always feel like I saw something, we Everyone is drifting in a lonely boat, only a rope keeps us from the land. Now, have I finally got the knife that can cut the rope and the strength to climb ashore by myself..."
"I will cherish this opportunity."
Outside the ward, Arthur and Francis were leaning side by side by the window, facing the beautiful coastline, where gulls were flying and the sea was sparkling.Arthur was a little listless, and Francis asked, "Where is Little Al?"
"Too emotional, in isolation." Arthur scratched his hair irritably, "Although Matthew has been successfully awakened, can they return to their original relationship? I don't know how Wang Yao and the others are talking... Francis said without hesitation, "Of course not."
"Are you owed, you bastard?" Arthur's eyes suddenly became terrified.Francis waved his hand: "I know I'm alive and well, but don't look at me with those scary eyes that haven't eaten enough? Also, I mean, after going through so many things and revealing so many past events at once, They can't go back to the past, but is that a bad thing? When people grow up, they will lose part of the past. The question is, can they accept the new situation and get back together?"
"If not, I'll let them stand hand in hand in the square until they get together." "Wow, pervert..." Francis was stomped hard.
"Don't worry so much, they are all adults. One day, they will leave you." Francis lay on the window sill, with the sea breeze blowing his golden hair, "Are you planning to take root in this city next time?" Arthur nodded: "This is a brand new place, no one knows us, no one will know what we have encountered, and no one will look at us with strange eyes. I also like Chicago, but there... "
"Hey, Arthur, can you promise me something?" Francis suddenly looked serious.Some of Arthur was bluffed by this usual idle guy: "What, what are you doing? Tell me first and listen."
"Can you..." Francis' serious eyes were extremely confusing, "marry me?"
"Huh...?" Arthur's emotions fluctuated between shock and anger for a few seconds, he spoke slowly to avoid biting his tongue, "You have three seconds to explain the reason, and then I will Decide how hard you are going to be beaten." Francis spoke quickly: "Seattle has a tax for singles, but couples have subsidies!" Arthur raised his fist expressionlessly, but put it down again, and sighed: "Are you stupid? ? This is a hospital, keep your voice down."
"Everyone is stupid, here is the carnival of stupid. Now that you have decided, I will cooperate with you a little..." Francis turned around, Arthur had already lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, he I really wonder where this man got such a luxury.He snatched the cigarette from Arthur's mouth, and while saying "no smoking in the hospital", he put the filter into his mouth and took a deep breath. Arthur stared at him: "...Hey, give me back the cigarette."
"Okay." Francis quickly stuffed the cigarette back into Arthur's mouth and ran away.Arthur threw away the cigarette and flew over to catch up, and the two of them ran amok in the hospital corridor like unreasonable children: "Stop me, you bearded and red wine cowboy bastard!" ..."
Alfred sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table by himself, wolfed down a whole blue road family bucket, cried while eating, not knowing what he was doing, and finally drank a large glass of iced Coke, his stomach finally gasped. The sound of protest, he clutched his abdomen and collapsed to death on the floor——Wang Yao saw the mess of the place as soon as he came back.
"Hey, I haven't applied for cemetery insurance for you yet, don't die so fast." Wang Yao touched Alfred's back with his toe. The "corpse" was wriggling face down, and the carpet was covered with water stains: "Is he okay?"
"Very well, it's better to say that nothing happened. I've been discharged from the hospital now, and I'm waiting outside the door." As soon as the words fell, Alfred got up suddenly and rushed into the room. When he came out, he was a handsome young man again , He also found time to do half a set of aerobics.Wang Yao helped him tidy up the room a little bit, and before leaving, he deliberately said loudly: "What is this? Is this the first time a junior high school student invites his girlfriend into the room?!"
"You go!" Alfred grabbed the bear doll and threw it towards the door. It missed Wang Yao, but hit Matthew's door. A scream stuck in Alfred's throat and couldn't get up or down.Matthew held the doll in his arms: "Well... what a strange way to welcome, Alfred." Matthew walked into the room and approached Alfred, but every time he took a step, Alfred seemed like Facing the enemy, he took a step back.
"What's the matter? I'm not Steve." Matthew was helpless.Alfred looked wary: "Have you heard anything from them?"
"Understood," Matthew nodded, "I know everything." He kept the same smile as before.Alfred was horrified: "Including, I lied to you?" Matthew nodded, "Also, the matter of supernatural powers?" Nodding, "Then, Steve and Anna..." Still nodding.Alfred looked like he was going to pass out, and Matthew put the doll on the sofa, and there were still leftover chicken bones hidden under the rug: "It would be a lie to say that I am not angry, but I have told a lot of lies Is it? So even." Alfred stood in the corner helplessly.
"Hey, Alf, can you listen to me? Steve is gone, I can't see him, he went to accompany Anna, and they finally asked me to 'live well'. We have been together for more than ten years, and suddenly we see It’s still very lonely without seeing him.” Matthew wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, “When I was in the lab, he was always with me. Speaking of which, Alf was not caught in the lab, you are lucky, real."
"They, those people... Do you remember the girls we met in Los Angeles? They killed Meg." Tears kept rolling down Matthew's cheeks, and he still couldn't forget Meg's bitter smile on the other side of the mirror.There was a sudden rustling in the room, and Alfred noticed that the debris in all directions began to vibrate and gradually lifted into the air.Alfred sank his heart: "I really don't know what the laboratory is like. At that time, I met a group of new partners. We tried to rescue you."
"Alfr, it's really scary there. They don't treat you as a human being at all. We are just experimental animals, just guinea pigs." The soaring object began to rotate around Matthew, and the speed gradually increased, reminding Alfred The scene of knives flying around Matthew many years ago, "I begged them to come to me, but they would do anything to force me. I don't even have the right to die."
Memories about the little girl flooded into his mind one after another. In the center of the storm, Matthew broke down in tears: "I really want to kill them."
As soon as Alfred raised his hand, the tornado stopped immediately, and the object fell to the ground with a crackling sound. He stepped on the debris and slowly approached Matthew: "I'm glad you didn't do that, because if things turned out like that, I'm sure I can't get you back."
"If you want to do it, you should have done it ten years ago. Now..." "That's not what I mean, I mean, no matter what time or situation Matthew is, he can't do such a thing as killing a person." "Why can you make such an assertion? Now I have lost the safety valve of Steve." Matthew looked up, eyes full of sadness and despair.
"Your expression is exactly the same as Steve before." Alfred held out his hand to Matthew, "Have you forgotten? You are the 'listener' and I am the 'talker', no matter what happens we are We are one body, we are blood brothers - give me your hand, Matthew." Alfred held Matthew's hand, and the mess on the ground changed again, and everything flew back to its original position without authorization. In an instant, The room was restored to tidy.The curtains opened automatically, but there were dark clouds outside, Alfred sighed: "The weather is not good today."
"The ability that can only be activated normally when the two of us are together, doesn't it feel like cheating?" Matthew smiled bitterly, "I used to be so troubled by myself, afraid that I would lose control and hurt others. In the end, it was never just my responsibility."
"It's our responsibility." Alfred imagined a scene in his mind, a scene he saw in the crib, a piece of memory he most wanted to share with Matthew.They appeared, tiny stardust floating in the dazzling light spots, tinkling and circling around the twins irregularly, like the satellites around Jupiter, dazzling.Matthew was dazzled and amazed: "This is...?"
"Memories from my infancy." Alfred held Matthew's face and pressed his forehead against it. "We were lying together like this, and no one could tell who was who." The two pairs of pupils deeply touched each other. Looking into it deeply, Alfred said softly: "As you can see, I've grown up and can control this ability, it's actually not that bad." Sea blue eyes sparkled: "Please don't hate it, After all, it's part of me and part of you, and it's the strongest connection we have."
"Well." Matthew's tears dried up and would not flow any more, he kissed Alfred before he could say that, and said with a smile, "I love you, Alfred, I forgive you and to redeem you forever."
"I love you too, Matthew, so I forgive you and give you all I have." The twins hugged each other tightly in the dark corner, just like the two little embryos who first fell asleep in the womb.
☆、Day N
"Face the light, and the shadows will always be behind me." ——American proverb
"Get up... get up, Alf." The big bag bulging under the bed didn't move.Matthew opened the curtains, and the room was brightly lit. He tore off the quilt abruptly, and Alfred, who was sleepy, said incoherently: "I woke up, no, I'll sleep again..." Matthew pinched his cheek: " That's what you said half an hour ago. Have you forgotten what day it is?"
"What happened today—wow!" He was kicked out of bed by Matthew.Alfred struggled to get up and shouted excitedly: "I remember! Wait for me!" Matthew sighed helplessly and turned back to the kitchen. The oven just dinged and the cake was freshly baked .Alfred came back with a basket of fruit to cut.
The church bell rang twelve times, and a snow-like seagull was circling in the calm sea. The early summer wind, as always, blew through the streets and alleys of Seattle, and the new buildings that were taking shape, and the ivy on the walls of the apartments bathed Summer invaded the window again, and there was a crisp car bell downstairs, and Alfred shouted urgently: "They're back!"
"Report to Captain Alfred, everything has been arranged!" Matthew poured a drink into the last glass.As soon as the door was opened, the twins fired a salute: "Happy birthday, Arthur!"
Arthur's face was full of surprises, but he tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, his face was blushing, and finally he just stroked the twins' heads vigorously, and sighed: "You guys..." Francis laughed: "It really is a very interesting reaction!"
It is now June, and Matthew has lived in Seattle for six months. The ordinary daily life seems to return to him, and the crazy adventure of the month last year has gradually faded away. He is sincerely grateful for every bit of happiness value.What reminded him of the coming storm from time to time were Wang Yao's exhortations, the ability practice with Alfred and the empty mirror.Waking up from that nightmare, Matthew gained treasures beyond imagination, such as courage, freedom, and memory.
Also, since working with Alfred has become more proficient, the others are no longer afraid of falling or knocking things over, and sometimes they also act as vacuum cleaners, Arthur said: "It's like having two superheroes in the family. Matthew knows that telekinetic power must not fall into the hands of others, but it cannot be wasted on them, they must learn to use it to protect each other.Only by conquering this ability can the side effects it brings be suppressed, and they can survive.
"I won't blow out the candles anymore, those who believe in birthday wishes are kids." Arthur started to pull out the colorful candles.Alfred shouted in disappointment: "What's the point of not blowing out the candles on the birthday cake? It's a cake made by me and Matthew!" Francis waved his hand: "This cake is definitely 90% made by little Matthew, and little Alfred at most Just put some fruit." Matthew smiled: "If it doesn't taste good, please don't take offense."
There was a ringing at the door, and Alfred rushed to open the door: "Welcome to my birthday party!" Outside the door were Wang Yao and Ivan, and Wang Yao shook the tea bag in his hand: "How can dessert be without black tea?" Ya Se slapped the table and said, "Just wait for this!"
"Well, I dreamed about this party the day before yesterday, and I just wanted to see everyone having fun, so I followed along." Ivan put his hands behind his back, showing a bright sunflower unbelievably, "I can eat it too A piece of cake?" Matthew specially cut a piece with strawberries for him.
The sofas and stools in the small apartment were full. Matthew plucked the guitar strings, and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" around Arthur. When it was his turn to give gifts, Alfred whispered to Arthur: "Arthur Arthur, what do you want?" Arthur rolled his eyes: "A grown-up doesn't wish for gifts." He put the twins' plain brown paper box on his knees, and felt something moving inside. When I opened it, I found it was a newly weaned British short-haired cat with mottled fur, pink nose and mouth, and kept meowing "Mimi". The collar around the neck was engraved with the surname of "Kirkland". Ser's heart was moved shamefully.
"Next is my brother's gift, you can look forward to it!" Francis opened his small gift box, Arthur glanced at it, grabbed the box and covered his face: "I know you can't give anything good!" Francis laughed while running: "Isn't this bad? It's practical and beautiful, what a brother's taste!" The two circled around in the living room, and the apartment fell out.
When the doorbell rang again, Ivan was teasing the kitten in his hands, Wang Yao was drinking tea, Alfred, Arthur and Francis were still wrestling, and only Matthew was free to receive it.There were two people in cycling clothes standing outside the door, who looked familiar: "Hi, this is... ah, it's you! It seems we found the right one, Felix."
With brown shawl hair and blond hair, Matthew blinked and suddenly realized: "You are... Torris and Felix from 'King Qi'!" Torris was a little surprised: "You still remember us, thank you so much .It has been more than half a year since we met near San Francisco. Excuse me, how are you all at the Fool's Carnival?" Matthew opened the door and let them see the chaos inside: "As you can see, they are all in good spirits .Do you want to come in and play?"
"Ah, no, we are just entrusted to deliver some things." Torres took out some letters and a video camera from his backpack. If Matthew remembers correctly, the video camera was given to "Rocket" by Alfred "Da Parade. Line", "We have been traveling, and later we passed through Los Angeles, and met some new friends. They all asked us to send these things to Seattle's 'Fairies of Fools'."
"It turned out to be like this, thank you so much. Are you going to continue traveling?" Matthew accepted the letter and the camera.Torres nodded: "We used to want to find a new home, but recently I found that it doesn't matter where we live, as long as we are with him, anywhere is home, so we don't have to stay." Felix put his arms around Torres's Shoulder said to Matthew: "This guy is really super nasty, right?"
"No matter what, I wish you happiness." The two sides wished each other, and the tandem motorcycle of "Wang Qi" left in the dust.Matthew closed the door, checked the signatures on the letters, and one of them caught his attention immediately: "How...is it possible...?"
That was Meg's name.
"Matthew, there is good news." Wang Yao hurried out of the office building of the Alien Association, and said to Matthew who was waiting outside, "I just contacted the Los Angeles branch, and they told me that the person named 'Meg' The girl is still alive, and she has never left Los Angeles in the past six months." Matthew was puzzled: "But I obviously..."
"I never told you that the supernatural power of the doctor in charge of you is an illusion." Wang Yao said seriously, "Think about it carefully, have you ever touched the Meg you met in the laboratory? Matthew shook his head blankly: "We are isolated...I heard her voice..." He suddenly remembered that the "Meg's voice" he heard was a woman's screaming, this kind of Voices are often easily confused.Wang Yao explained: "His hallucination ability is activated through language, and he will induce you to imagine the illusion that you are afraid of. That girl is an ordinary person, and it is quite troublesome for them to attack ordinary people."
"So, is she really still alive?" Matthew's voice trembled, and Wang Yao nodded firmly.Matthew looked down at the letter in his hand, restrained not to open it: "Thank you, this is enough."
Back at the apartment, everyone else was fiddling with the video camera, trying to get the footage on the monitor.The other two letters belonged to Natasha and "Rocket Parade". The second letter informed them that Honda Ju had started his plane journey.Everyone closed the curtains and took their seats. The monitor flickered and the picture gradually became clear: "Uh... ciao? Everyone, can you hear me?"
The first thing that appeared was the trio of "Rocket Parade. Walk" sitting on the grass of the Beschmidt farm, with the sun shining in the background, Feliciano waved excitedly: "Everyone, remember us? You saw this The video shows that you have arrived in Seattle, congratulations!" The three applauded.Honda Ju smiled: "At the same time, I am not in the United States anymore. I have been taken care of for a long time."
"Yeah, we've really worked hard together for a long time! These guys finally graduated!" Gilbert suddenly appeared with a big head making a face, and then disappeared out of the screen.Feliciano made a heart-shaped gesture: "In short, let's show you our life in the past few months!"
As soon as the picture turned, the screen turned into five young people running under the sun. Elizabeth gave a thumbs up to the camera from a distance. Behind her was a modified propeller plane. The young people were gobbling up on the open-air dining table. For some reason Feliciano lay on the ground crying, Honda Ju pressed the wrong button in a hurry, Gilbert's voice-over was so loud that it was distorted, Ludwig with a stomach ache pushed fertilizer past the vegetable greenhouse, Antonio posed in front of the Los Angeles monument Put a fresh bouquet...
When the night was dark and the wind was high, they lit a grand bonfire and painted the plane while cheering. In the shaking camera, the words "Rocket Parade. Go - Send Honda Chrysanthemum home" were impressively displayed on the fuselage. Looking back, Honda Chrysanthemum was walking and crying in the dimly lit place, Feliciano rushed over to hug him, as a result more and more people came over and surrounded them, including many strangers whom the "Fool's Carnival" did not know, and finally even The cameras were all thrown away, and everyone could only see various shoes.
The picture came back on, and Feliciano started to walk around with the camera: "In the past few months, news of Ju's going home has spread in Los Angeles. Many people have come to help us, and everyone is blessing us. Everyone, come and fight Say hello!" The picture suddenly became brighter, and the gate of the Beshmit Farm was crowded with people, at least hundreds of people shouted in unison under the blue sky and white clouds: "cheese—"
Feliciano blinked: "Hey, we're actually taking pictures."
The picture swayed among the crowd and rose slowly. Elizabeth in a wedding dress stood by the altar looking pure and beautiful, and beside her was Gilbert in a suit and leather shoes.At a moment that should have been solemn and solemn, for some reason, Elizabeth began to beat Gilbert with a bouquet. The scene was chaotic, everyone laughed, and all the "Fools' Carnival" applauded.When Elizabeth threw the bouquet, Matthew caught a familiar red shadow sharply. It turns out that she is really alive, which is really great...
The children in the orphanage scrambled to shout to the camera. Someone said, "Teacher, Wang Jialong has been adopted and he went to Sacramento." They were dressed neatly and sang the songs taught by Wang Yao at the entrance of the hospital. One of Arthur’s familiar boys played the piano solo. In the end, everyone giggled, blushed like apples, and waved their hands vigorously. The densely packed little hands were like grass tips blowing in the wind. : "Teacher, you must come back to see us!" Wang Yao stared at his children intently.
Many hands put together: "Come on!"
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the engine, the plane took off and went far away. Feliciano ran for a long time in the open field. He spread his hands towards the vast sky and looked back with a tearful smile. Derwig walked up to him and they put their shoulders on each other.
The video fell silent, and Feliciano appeared to have turned off the recording function.The camera started to move, as if accompanying a person's life. It traveled all over the city of Los Angeles, witnessing the sunrise and sunset of Los Angeles, people coming and going, and witnessing its dilapidation and new life.Time passed quietly until the lights went out.
At the end of the video is still Feliciano’s smile. He is sitting alone on the window sill peeling potatoes, and his movements are very neat: “Everyone, do you still remember the letter we left for travelers in the seaside resort?” Maybe the world It’s over, but life is not over. No matter you are poor or rich, no matter whether you are born, old, sick or dead, no matter whether you are aliens or ordinary people, as long as we are born as human beings, hope will always be ahead’…don’t forget.”
A big "V" gesture: "I love you guys, you must... try to live!"
Feliciano touched the switch of the camera with his backhand, and the monitor went black.
To Matthew Williams:
Maybe you have forgotten me long ago, but I still remember you; this is my first letter to you and the last letter between us.Please don't write me back and go on your own way.
Dear Matthew, we only met once half a year ago, and after that it was a farewell. There was no agreement, no love, nothing between us. I never dared to expect you to come back like a shepherd boy.You will think of me by chance, just like I will think of you, and this is the best ending for us.
To me, you are the most special one among the wild geese going south. It won't come back next year, and I can't stop it from leaving this year.I didn't lie that night, the first time I saw you, I felt like I saw myself, and then I was convinced that I liked this person. This kind of relationship is not the type of staying together, but a spark of a moment, but it is enough to remember in the heart.
I really appreciate you, you ended this drama with me, you left me with good memories, and, I guess you found something in me too.You are looking at another person through me, a person who left you with regrets, so you let go this time, who is that person?I kind of envy her.I don't know if it's a good thing, but hopefully, you don't have to feel sorry anymore.
From now on I will move on with my life, find someone else, work, get married, have kids, watch this city without you from my couch, and leave quietly.For me, this kind of life is not bad.
But you are different from me. Although you didn't say it, I can feel that you are not an ordinary person, and you are destined to have a big adventure.The only thing I can do is to pray for your safety, pray for happiness, and pray for a destination at the end of the great adventure.
Spring is gone, summer is here, and the migratory birds will spread their wings and fly high, taking my unattainable expectations to a distant place that I can't think of.Matthew, I would that all prayers gather around you and bring you all you desire—that is all that my poor hands can bestow on you.

"Okay, okay, brother Gilbert... really don't need so many things." Feliciano tried in vain to stop Gilbert from frantically stuffing luggage into the trunk.Gilbert packed another box excitedly: "You guys have been out for a long time this time, so what if you're not ready?" Ludwig stood aside and opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.Feliciano and him looked at each other: When Gilbert is gone, unload things quickly.
In spring, Feliciano planted a bed of cornflowers, which bloomed with blue petals and yellow hairy centers, and it became a habit for him and Ludwig to lie on the grass and take a nap.It's not a rush to start. They sat down and ate ham sandwiches. Feliciano sighed: "It will be a long time before we can eat such delicious food."
"You can come back anytime." Ludwig's hand rested on the ground, overlapping with Feliciano's.Feliciano laid down leisurely with his head in his arms, and the sun was shining brightly: "Luther, does our previous agreement still count?"
"If you think it counts." "Of course, don't look at me like this, I will try my best to protect the promise."
