午後開始下起了雷陣雨。91Please respect copyright.PENANAqWsOaEe6KP
猛烈且毫不留情的雨勢如洪水來襲般傾倒在小鎮的街道上,瞬間眼前就被白茫茫的水霧掩蓋,看不見路的盡頭。91Please respect copyright.PENANAipj0FrZ8Ya
91Please respect copyright.PENANA6DWpTcRn3d
行人們紛紛躲避到可以暫時休息的屋子裏,等待著下一個雨停的時段,所以街道上幾乎一個人影都沒有。91Please respect copyright.PENANAWFpMzbWMzC
除了一位年紀約七、八歲的男孩以外。91Please respect copyright.PENANAOygRl83a2Z
91Please respect copyright.PENANA8CQE2Wn6hB
他孤伶伶地低垂著頭,任由冰冷的雨水洗刷身體。雖然在不到三十公分就有一處屋簷處可提供遮雨,但他就像被罰站一樣在毫無遮蔽物的原地停留著,完全沒打算移動。91Please respect copyright.PENANA8JTC5AVSfv
91Please respect copyright.PENANAzSsdITq5tZ
這已經是習以為常的場景了。91Please respect copyright.PENANAlkna7fqWLa
91Please respect copyright.PENANAEJu9c9qi6P
銀灰色的短髮濕漉漉地緊貼在脖子上,男孩瘦弱的身體穿著一件寬大不合身的白色道場服,上頭隨處可見斑黑黃污漬和暗紅色痕跡,整個看起來破爛不堪。91Please respect copyright.PENANAI04ss2Cl58
男孩的面容憔悴,右臉頰浮腫有著紫紅色血塊凝結,但他卻沒有表現出任何痛苦或難過的表情,只是兩眼無神地望著前方小路的地板,數著水滴滴落下的節拍。91Please respect copyright.PENANAlZz4ZBpUq8
91Please respect copyright.PENANAFmU7pS6ukn
不知過了多久,在他眼前傳來了動靜。91Please respect copyright.PENANAuwSLDtUmyd
91Please respect copyright.PENANAGE0txuZxei
路的盡頭出現了小小人影。91Please respect copyright.PENANApYrHE6ztwW
「啪搭、啪搭」地小碎步往自己的方向前進,鮮黃色的雨傘在白霧之中忽上忽下,漸漸地那個孩子的模樣變得清晰,是記憶中熟悉的模樣。91Please respect copyright.PENANAfp3ni8OGYw
91Please respect copyright.PENANAbfDUigzrvj
蓬鬆的深褐色短髮隨著跑步的節奏跳動著,圓滾滾咖啡色瞳孔在模糊的雨霧中閃閃發亮,通紅的臉上掛著隱約可以看見虎牙的笑容,在看見男孩的時候又咧開了一些。
「――!」
女孩向他大幅度地揮了揮手,喊著自己的名字,蹦蹦跳跳的加快了速度。91Please respect copyright.PENANAh11aGBQgnn
91Please respect copyright.PENANAoSvJ0ds2vM
然後,在下一個瞬間摔倒了。91Please respect copyright.PENANAdS20z46KyC
鮮黃色的雨傘飛出了女孩的手上,如藍天中飛舞的蒲公英般在半空轉了兩三圈,最後無力地降落在濕潤的地上。91Please respect copyright.PENANAnCytDcwB7a
因為事發突然,女孩呆楞著趴在地上,沒能意識過來自己跌到的事實。冰涼的雨水瞬間傾倒在濕透的身體上,之後傳達到腦部才是如針刺般的劇烈疼痛感。91Please respect copyright.PENANAuSIT3gvSn2
91Please respect copyright.PENANAYTgieRsD9r
YUKI嚎啕大哭了起來。91Please respect copyright.PENANAz0dcCo3hwy
鮮明的聲音穿透了下雨聲,傳遞到男孩混沌的腦中。91Please respect copyright.PENANABDYyRkD3Hq
91Please respect copyright.PENANA80ylUTD3h8
他恍惚地看著眼前的一切,直到聽到哭泣的聲音才下意識地向YUKI的方向前進了一步,但又停了下來。91Please respect copyright.PENANAY2NYFTOSBp
腦海竄過了在不久之前不好的回憶,伴隨著那個男人的可憎叫罵聲,在自己的思緒中嗡嗡作響。91Please respect copyright.PENANA76wDCROnyG
91Please respect copyright.PENANABxpfjzFLFF
最後男孩還是選擇跑了過去。91Please respect copyright.PENANANxyoHBCc8z
儘管臉頰上隱隱作痛的傷口不斷地提醒著自己應遵守的紀律,但他覺得自己不能放著眼前的場景不管。91Please respect copyright.PENANAFrCEaRhDIr
91Please respect copyright.PENANAQzO2ciSTcr
奔跑過數公尺的距離來到了YUKI的面前,男孩猶豫片刻後,向她伸出了手。91Please respect copyright.PENANAPDIPiNx0Y1
在淚水與雨水的洗刷下,模糊的視野只看見了手的大概形狀,YUKI努力地眨了眨眼,才看清楚那隻瘦弱、佈滿舊傷口和厚繭的小手。91Please respect copyright.PENANAvLfJv64gAp
91Please respect copyright.PENANAscvaudfVD7
――以及AKIRA因困擾而微微皺起眉頭的臉。91Please respect copyright.PENANAzw7Miqh1QG
91Please respect copyright.PENANArpm6alpCEd
瞬間,上一秒還在哭泣的臉龐,馬上破涕為笑地爆出一個開心的笑容。91Please respect copyright.PENANAoWAKNKylLY
AKIRA發愣地看著情緒轉變劇烈的那個女孩,內心不知道該說些什麼。91Please respect copyright.PENANAirlpXjyytD
91Please respect copyright.PENANAQruT8dtdXI
但他很喜歡那個笑容,一直以來都是如此。91Please respect copyright.PENANAALyjOkYAoL
像是朝著夕陽綻放的橘黃色向日葵,總是可以深深地吸引住自己的目光,讓他無法別開眼神。91Please respect copyright.PENANAdYEPEUCWxX
91Please respect copyright.PENANAWsvx7qmi8m
YUKI一手撿起身旁的雨傘,一手握住眼前的AKIRA的手並站了起來。她的膝蓋因摩擦到砂石地面而沾染了泥沙,以及流溢出的鮮血,形成了一個顯眼的小傷口。91Please respect copyright.PENANACrhYSt2C45
91Please respect copyright.PENANAoFwBLNO2iV
用手拍掉了附近的細沙後,AKIRA低著頭檢查小腿附近還有沒有其他的擦傷。91Please respect copyright.PENANAjBebVmk9Jf
然後,他又抬起頭並伸出手臂,輕輕地擦掉了那孩子掛在臉上的淚水,就像在觸碰一朵脆弱易凋零的花朵般溫柔。91Please respect copyright.PENANAoTHqqpFPo2
91Please respect copyright.PENANA291q8mu25g
――好溫暖。91Please respect copyright.PENANAuHsmajxkfp
91Please respect copyright.PENANAw7fBYx31B5
AKIRA此時才發現頭頂上籠罩著鮮黃色的雨傘,遮擋住了奪取體溫的寒冷雨水;91Please respect copyright.PENANA0TxziUzOAS
而這孩子的高體溫也在溫暖著自己的毫無血色的手,周遭一切似乎正在甦醒過來。91Please respect copyright.PENANA6wVovC1sd5
91Please respect copyright.PENANAQLAz0DNa5I
他站起身,年長兩歲的自己跟年幼的青梅竹馬比起來高了一個頭,俯視下去正好可以看見她的臉龐。91Please respect copyright.PENANAPHLynJ5SDb
從有記憶以來一直都是這樣的距離,大概以後也不會有什麼改變。91Please respect copyright.PENANA42N3iFDjR1
91Please respect copyright.PENANAEnS2TS436H
「……YUKI,謝謝妳。」91Please respect copyright.PENANAORYu9E5wC3
91Please respect copyright.PENANAtBFi8myaaR
AKIRA道謝著,雖然他自身並沒有意識到自己正在露出笑容。91Please respect copyright.PENANALlY70UUvJh
91Please respect copyright.PENANAT3PXyb00Bj
雨持續地下著。91Please respect copyright.PENANAIH0AwYFd1s
傘下的世界成了那一天的回憶。91Please respect copyright.PENANAAf8TzAfJl7
91Please respect copyright.PENANAAHdDGf1tSn
91Please respect copyright.PENANAcE8YVjXOyu
那差不多是五年前的事情。91Please respect copyright.PENANAgE15YKnz0x
不知為何會在此時此刻想起來。91Please respect copyright.PENANA4freY6nUqC
91Please respect copyright.PENANAaDtMkUGY5r
AKIRA打開了雙眼。91Please respect copyright.PENANABEs8v9idym
映入眼簾是無窮無盡的黑暗。
