Pushing open the office door, Hai Yao saw a little Zhengtai leaning on the sofa, this is the little protagonist of this film, Martin.

How to describe it?

Judging from Hai Yao's aesthetics, he is definitely a handsome guy, but the whole person seems very unenergetic, just like a primary school student who went to an Internet café to play CS all night.

But when he saw Hai Yao, the little boy immediately came to his senses, as if he saw a relative, "Are you here?" I thought you wouldn't come! ”

Hai Yao doesn't know what Rebecca's relationship with her brother is, but she is immediately defeated by the pitiful eyes of the little protagonist.

"My little cutie, tell my sister what happened?" Hai Yao stroked Xiao Zhengtai's forehead, how much she wished she could have such a younger brother.

"You left because of your mother, right?" Martin looked up at her, a great fear on his calm face, and began to talk about what had been a nightmare these days.

It turns out that Rebecca and Martin's mother, Sophie, suffers from depression and has a tendency to become psychotic.

Since his father's death, Martin has noticed that his mother is becoming more and more abnormal, turning off the lights at night.

Of course, it's normal to turn off the lights, and if you don't turn off the lights when you sleep, that's not a normal person.

But Martin's mother is different, she not only sleeps and turns off the lights, but also likes to talk to herself in the dark.

Sophie was already suffering from depression and her husband died, and Hai Yao could understand that she did something innocuous and weird.

But what Martin said next was a bit appalling.

"When my dad died, I knew she was sad, but my mom still loved me, very, very much, and I could feel the warmth she gave me wherever I went, and I think that was enough, and I should understand her grief.

She likes to watch me and will come into my room after I fall asleep to see if I have kicked the quilt.

I know that in her eyes, it is the continuation of my father's life and the hope for her to persist in trying to live.

My school is not far from home, I only need to walk ten minutes to my home community after school, whenever I walk in from the gate of the community, as long as I look up in the direction of home, I can always see my mother standing on the kitchen balcony looking at me.

She's waiting for me to come home, she's waiting for me to come back.

I know she's sure she's got me a nice dinner, along with my favorite KFC fried chicken burger.

When I got home, I washed my hands and sat down at the table to get ready to eat, and she would bring me burgers and steaks, and then she would sit at the table, and she would watch me eat without eating herself, and when I was done, she would turn off the lights and take out a new pair of cutlery, as if my father was still alive.

In the midst of such darkness, she talks to her fantasy husband while slowly savoring dinner and sometimes laughs inexplicably.

After dinner, she likes to sit alone in the living room and watch TV, when the TV is the only light in the living room.

Every time I sat next to her, she smiled softly at me, which gave me a sense of security.

Especially her gaze, which is always so soft, and the love in her eyes has never diminished because of her father's departure.

But lately, I suddenly felt a little unbearable with her.

When I come home, she will still stand on the kitchen sill and watch me come back, and she will still sit quietly at the dining table and watch me eat while I eat, and she will watch TV with me, but she always has to turn off the lights.

One day, I suddenly noticed that when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I inadvertently raised my head and saw my mother's shadow on the crack of the door that was not completely closed in the bathroom.

She actually stood outside the bathroom and stared at me as I went to the bathroom.

I've grown up, and I don't feel like a kid who could accept her bathing me and didn't understand anything, so I was surprised, and then I shouted, 'Mommy, is that you?' ’

Then the shadow behind the crack in the door was gone, and I knew it was her gone, and when I walked out of the bathroom, I saw her sitting on the couch watching TV.

I asked her why she was standing in the bathroom doorway.

She said she didn't, she had been sitting there watching TV.

I knew she lied because she was the only one in the house, but she wouldn't admit it, and I couldn't help it.

Although I was a little uncomfortable, I forgot about it, after all, she has not yet come out of the pain of losing her husband, I am willing to try to understand her, and hope that one day, she can really come out of her husband's shadow.

When I woke up that morning, I found that the door to my bedroom was also ajar, and it was still before dawn, and I could only see the outline around me.

I saw a figure behind the crack in the door, it was my mother, it must have been my mother, she was standing behind the crack in the door, and while I was sleeping, she was standing behind the crack in my bedroom door, and she was just looking at me, staring at me, staring at me, and I was so frightened that I screamed.

Then, the figure behind the crack in the door disappeared, and she was gone, and then I heard the door of her room open and close, and she went back to her bedroom.

It took about a quarter of an hour for me to sit on my bed and fully compose. ”

Speaking of this, Martin grabbed Hai Yao's wrist and looked at her intently, "You must have a hard time imagining how I felt at that time, I didn't go directly to her, I could only continue to sit on the bed, I really didn't know what to do." ”

Hai Yao comforted him softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid, my sister is here, you will be safe." ”

Brett next to him was very distressed, he didn't expect his girlfriend to have such a mother.

In case they get married in the future and the young couple does something indescribable, will the mother-in-law lie outside the crack in the door......

Brett shuddered suddenly, it was so terrible that he didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Hai Yao didn't have time to pay attention to the jumbled thoughts in the artillery driver's head, and all her attention was on what Martin was telling.

"When it was dawn, I got up and washed up and went to school, and when I washed up, she got up, and she was making me tacos in the kitchen, and I sat down at the table, and after she brought breakfast, I ate without saying a word, and she sat at the table and watched me......

I didn't ask her why she didn't sleep at night and stood by the crack in the door to watch me, I was afraid of breaking her heart, what if she just woke up at night and wanted to come over to see if I had kicked the quilt?

However, when I went to the bathroom that night, I locked the bathroom door directly from the inside, and I saw her shadow still standing outside the door.

When I went to bed at night, I also locked the bedroom door in advance......"

Martin's voice gradually turned from clear to murmuring—

"I want her to know my attitude, I know she cares about me, but I also need a little bit of personal space, but I don't want to hurt her, I don't want to give her deeper stimulation.

In the next few days, more horrible things began to appear in the house, and for the first two days, I seemed to hear a little noise of someone scratching the door at night, but I locked the door behind me and she couldn't get in.

I believe that she should know my thoughts, she will understand me, she will understand me, she should return to life as soon as possible, after all, Dad is gone, people always have to face reality.

In this way, the half a month has passed very peacefully, I still enjoy every day when I walk into the door of the community after school, she stands on the kitchen balcony and watches me come back, and I still enjoy watching me eat when I eat, and I don't mind her habit of turning off the lights.

Life was peaceful again, at least, that's what I thought at the time.

However, when I woke up that morning, I saw that the bedroom door was opened again, and there was a figure standing outside, so frightened that I immediately turned on the light, and the figure disappeared.

I remember locking the door last night, how could I open it for no reason?

I checked the door lock and found that the door lock was broken, I was so angry that I rushed to the kitchen and asked her why she was doing this, why did she remove my door lock and watch me like a ghost every day.

She said she didn't know, that she hadn't done the things, and that the lock had been used for a long time and that it was long overdue for a new one.

I've been arguing with her for a long time, and I'm sure I'm not mistaken, who else would she have? But she just wouldn't admit it.

When I came back from school the next day, I put three latches on the door so she couldn't get in.

Then, I didn't sleep at night, I kept paying attention to the movement outside, and when it was almost dawn, there was no sound of scratching the door, I was relieved, I slept with peace of mind.

I thought it would be the same the next day, but the next night when I was getting ready for bed, I suddenly realized that the latches I had installed behind the door were broken.

I got angry and had another fight with her, but she still insisted that she didn't know, that she didn't admit that she had touched those latches!

I couldn't help it, so I went ahead and put on the new latch.

Day 3,

Day 4,

Day 5,

Day 6,

Every day, I put on new latches, and the next day the walls are all removed by her, and I know she comes to see me every day, but it really drives me crazy......"

Martin's confiding continued, gradually turning from a murmur to a dream, with confused logic and slurred words.

"Martin? Martin ......"

Hai Yao screamed several times in succession, and Martin came out of his obsession, but the fear of collapse continued, "That night, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I saw a figure in the bathroom, it was the shadow of a woman with a cloak of hair, who was trying to get clothes inside, and she didn't even turn on the light!" ”

I shouted twice and asked my mom if she was in there, but there was no answer, so I turned on the bathroom light.

Do you know...... There was no one inside, only a piece of clothing that had fallen on the floor.

Then I panicked, I knocked on my mother's door, I told her about it, but she said that I was wrong, but her clothes were obviously falling on the ground, how could I be wrong?

She must have known about it, she talked to herself every day, she was talking to the devil, she turned off all the lights every day, she was also protecting the devil, and I sat back on the bed trembling in the face of my mother.

In this way, I began to sleep less and less every day, my spirit began to weaken and I went to class in a trance, feeling like a walking corpse......

Speaking of the back, Martin excitedly grabbed Hai Yao's arm and shook his head desperately, "This is terrible, I don't want to go back to that home again." ”
