《爱情和其他魔鬼》1.
关于东京的宅子，房契不在Shu家这边，但购入时确实出了一大笔钱。长辈说不清的事，小辈更说不清。

那处屋址闲置多年，偏偏在Shu要搬过去的暑假有人先住了进去。

边界感强的人都是寄居蟹，需要有自己的壳。比和陌生人同住更麻烦的，是和有血缘的陌生人同住，亲热也不是，生疏也不是。感觉像籼米和粳米混在一块，拨到同样的时间出炉，软一颗硬一颗，怪得离谱。

门铃按了很久，没反应。Shu微热的手指按着眼窝，坐到台阶上靠着行李箱，贴膝侧头，尴尴尬尬地晒着渔网般的混乱心情。

Shu迷迷糊糊间觉得自己是枚待翻面的煎蛋，滋滋冒油。

忽地，背后传来趿拉的鞋与地板摩擦的啪嗒声，零落成章，由远及近。Shu边眨眼边回头，调试虹膜上曝光过度的世界。

(part 2) There's a hint of desperation in the silence.

The patient, who has no decent skin at all, lays trembling in his bed, watching people putting leeches on his wounds, bit by bit. He has gone through this many times before, but he still feels a flood of terror.

Shu tries to get used to these, even if he is only an assistant this time --- he needn't do that thanks to his injury. Elira helpes him.
