第六章
他都還記得。
在他暑假時,高高興興的,覺得,終於能回家了的時候。
看到的卻是一輩子的夢魘。
現在,又再次夢到了嗎?

NOTICE
啟事
To all it concerns,This notice apprises,
關係人請注意,
The Sparrow's for trial, At next bird assizes.
下回小鳥審判,受審者為麻雀。」女孩揮動著刀子,收割著生命,哀嚎聲響起,伴隨著女孩清亮的歌聲。
每一次,他都想,至少在夢裡,也想聽妹妹唱完整首歌。
原來這首歌是這樣子的阿。
聽著好久沒聽過的聲音,他想著。
當時的他,居然從未懷疑過自己的雙眼,居然從未想起自己的妹妹是多麼的天賦異秉。
如果能再來一次。
如果能重頭來過。
如果,能再光明正大的站在她的面前,就像現在,面對著面。
如果在走過去時,伸出雙手,拉她一把。
這一次,是不是還是會像之前作夢一樣,她就這麼消失不見?
他真的好想跟她說對不起,好想好想。
對不起,那一次,我沒有相信妳。
顫抖著,他伸出了手。
所以,這一次,我想相信妳。
妳一定,要醒過來。
並沒有如同他衷心祈求的一般。
在碰到女孩衣袂的瞬間,夢裡的她又再次化為碎片。

然後他醒了,又是一個早晨。
