Chapter 9 is too normal to be abnormal
Castle Peak No. 1 Psychiatric Hospital is a large psychiatric hospital.
The five-story building has thirty rooms on each floor, each of which houses a patient.
Walking on the white corridor where the figure of a person can be reflected, every room you pass by, you can hear the voice coming from inside.
Yelling, snickering, crying, throwing things......
Watch as the nurses in the psychiatric hospital expertly put down the patients and inject them with tranquilizers.
After being tranquilized, the patients gradually regained their composure.
The man with long silver hair did not squint, only looked at the road ahead of him with a blank face, deaf to everything that was happening on either side.
"Am I going to be locked up?" The white-haired boy tugged at his sleeve behind him, as if he was afraid of something, but with an overly optimistic smile on his face, and his eyes were clean and without a trace of fear.
Gin glanced at him, and the boy smiled at this.
"No, you're not like them, it's just a normal check." Gin turned his head and continued to look at the road ahead, saying indifferently.
Even if Avi Clear was really mentally ill, he wouldn't be locked up like the psychiatric hospital here.
This inspection was only because the gentleman personally ordered him to find out how Aviclell was thinking.
Find a reason to explain the other person's behavior of liking to play with paper figures.
The smile on Aitto's face widened.
He didn't really want to be locked up and injected with drugs every now and then.
That's not comfortable at all.
Inside the Dean's office.
The director of Aoyama No. 1 Psychiatric Hospital's name is Aoyama Taifu, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat, a little bloated, and a little hair, and he smiled very kindly and said:
"This Mr. Kurosawa, this must be your son."
One has silver hair and the other has white hair, although they are different, but they are both light colors and similar colors.
"Yes." The white-haired teenager nodded approvingly.
The man with long silver hair had a cold expression and an unmoved look in his eyes.
Vodka is not honest in front of outsiders, wearing sunglasses, and his momentum is full of oppression.
Mrs. Aoyama wiped his sweat without a trace.
How do you feel about this Mr. Kurosawa's profession...... It's some amazing profession.
Isn't it the big brother of the road?
Yamaguchi-gumi, mud misery...... Big brother of the organization?
The man with sunglasses is Mr. Kurosawa's subordinate?
"Let's have a quick chat, what's your name?" While carefully guessing in his heart, he continued to ask kindly on his face.
"Aito, Miyamoto Ato." The boy was very cooperative and replied with a natural smile.
Mr. Aoyama looked at the other party's smile, and he couldn't help but smile.
I took it back when I reacted.
This is not good, you can't be influenced by the other party in turn.
But...... Isn't it the same surname as Mr. Kurosawa? If it is because the parents are divorced and lack the love of the family, then it makes sense that there will be those symptoms.
"I heard you have some special family members, can I meet them?" Taifu Aoyama restrained his smile and said politely.
"Special?" Aitto blinked.
Isn't family just family? Is there a distinction between special and ordinary?
Special......
Aitor turned to look at the man with long silver hair.
Is gin papa special? Compared with other family members, there is only one identity of the father.
Gin sat on the side, his eyes closed, and when he felt the gaze, he opened his eyes, and broke Ato's head back, holding his head with one hand, not giving the other party a chance to continue to turn his head, and closed his eyes again.
"Go on." He closed his eyes and said.
Aoyama smiled and took out something from the drawer as he had already prepared.
A delicate paper figure that has been colored, with its facial features and clothes painted.
The paper figure was about half an arm's size, with a smile on its face.
"Look, I have special family too." Aoyama said.
Aito looked at the delicate paper figures on the other side, and thought about the family members who did not paint or paint their facial features.
The reason why he treats those paper figures as family is because he gives them an identity.
For example, gin, vodka and the like.
When Gin and Vodka die in an accident, the body of the paper man with their name written on it will have a soul, and then it will be a complete family that will never leave.
Before the death of the family members he had chosen, those paper figures were really just ordinary paper figures.
However, since he has arranged the identity of the paper people, he can also be treated as a normal family member.
But the paper figure in the hands of Dean Aoyama is obviously missing the most critical step, but it looks like it is already a finished product.
There is no soul, but there is already a concrete appearance.
"What is her identity in your family?" Aitto asked curiously.
She ...... She is ......" Taifu Aoyama looked at the young man's eyes, lowered his head silently, and when he raised his head after a while, he already showed a sad look.
"She is my daughter, and I have always wanted to have a well-behaved and lovely daughter." He looked very sincere.
"I see." Aitto nodded.
This kind of behavior is to use paper figures as emotional sustenance, which is mentioned in the book, but the case cited is that some people will take the relics left by animals and the deceased as their emotional sustenance for their deceased family members, and say to them every day what they want to say to the deceased.
There are also some people who desire to have an existence that they can't have, so they treat something special as an existence that they can't have, vent their emotions, and tell their sincerity.
This behavior is normal, and it's perfectly fine.
"Your daughter is so beautiful." So he praised.
Taio Aoyama: "...... Thank you? ”
"You're welcome." The boy said politely.
Taifu Aoyama had some doubts in his heart.
Isn't there something wrong with this development?
Shouldn't it be that after taking out his own special family, the teenager starts to talk about the other party's special family as if he has met the same kind?
Why is it just a boast? It's gone?
"Don't you want to introduce me to your special family?" Taifu Aoyama's tone was lost.
"I don't have a special family, family is family, don't think that she is different from other people's families just because she is a paper person, she is your family, and other people's families are the same." The white-haired young man looked at each other and said earnestly.
Dean Aoyama should have felt lost because the paper people had no soul and were different from other people's real families.
However, once an emotion is placed on an object, the object is no longer simply dead.
Therefore, Dean Aoyama does not have to feel that his family is special at all.
It's obviously very ordinary, and it's no different from everyone's family.
The book says that family members live together because of their feelings for each other.
It doesn't matter if you don't have blood, what matters is affection and mutual recognition.
Taio Aoyama, who was told a bunch of truth and comfort by the other party in turn: ......
Is it the other way around?
Shouldn't you explain each other yourself, don't indulge in fake family relationships?
Shouldn't you comfort each other yourself, don't stare at lifeless paper figures every day, and look at the real family members?
But think about it the other way around......
This teenager ......
I don't think there's anything wrong with treating paper figures as family at all.
Mr. Aoyama looked at the polite, cheerful and sensible young man in front of him, with a bright smile.
It is precisely because the other party's performance can't find the slightest problem, so he is more sure.
This son of Mr. Kurosawa is absolutely abnormal.
And the problem is very serious, so serious that the other party can't tell the difference between the paper family and the real family.
