"It's time to wake up, kid."

“……”

The sunlight is blocked by the curtains, but the darkness inside the house contrasts with the brightness of the outside, and now is the time when the sun is at its brightest?

It seems that everyone was tired last night, so even though it was so late today, no one got up.

"Do you remember the time?"

"What time?"

"At 10:27:57 a.m., there's a long list of stops. This is the time for you to leave the old world, and it is also the time for you to leave the new world. ”

"What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock. I'm not sure how long it will take you to say goodbye to her. ”

"That's enough."

Ling Zeru looked up at Jiang Li, although this aunt was no longer young, she could still see the demeanor of the year from her current appearance.

"The years are not forgiving, when my mother was young, she was obviously a young and beautiful beauty."

"Oh? You call her mom? ”

"Why not, although she doesn't know, but what does it matter if I call it wishful thinking."

"Well, yes, it's a pity that you can only stay with your mother for more than an hour."

"That's enough."

"Do you remember who you are?"

"Don't ask such stupid questions."

"Hehehe. Oh, by the way, where did that pendant go? ”

"I want to think about it...... Isn't it in your hands? ”

"Really? I'm sorry, I lost it, I should have landed in the alley, well, it's still early, let's go find it. ”

"Why don't you find it yourself? Aren't you the ruler of the world, you who are omniscient and omnipotent, can't you do such a small thing by yourself? ”

"I am not God, how can I be omniscient and omnipotent. The pendant wasn't an ordinary object, it was a "relic" from the old world, and I couldn't handle it. ”

"Relic? What do you mean? ”

"It's a real necklace, the real one that the real one is wearing. Your body was of my making, so you are a white imitation at best; But that necklace is not a replica I made, that one is the real thing. ”

"You mean, that necklace is owned by the real Dawn White, the real necklace?"

"Yes, it should have disappeared with the disappearance of the white, but the world is so wonderful, the pendant remained, and appeared right next to you."

"So, is this pendant evidence that Juruobai ever existed?"

"Yes, like the memories you have, it's one of the few things that does belong to the white."

"One of them? Are there any others? ”

"Yes, but in the hands of the police."

"Is that the knife?"

"Well, that's right. The knife can also be regarded as an item that can prove her existence, but it represents the identity of the murderer. This pendant is different, it represents the identity of an ordinary daughter. So please, Ling Zeru, in order to keep the world from completely forgetting her, leave this pendant to the person who should own it. ”

"I see, I'll go."

Ling Zeru managed to escape from Jiang Li's arms, and ran out of the door without even changing his clothes, all the way to the alley, carefully looking for the pendant.

Ling Zeru glanced at it, there was no shadow of a pendant on the ground, he noticed the telephone pole for the first time, and hurriedly walked towards the back of the telephone pole.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

This sentence was said by two voices at the same time, and after Ling Zeru picked up the pendant, he turned his head to look, and it turned out that Jiang Li was standing outside the alley, wearing pajamas like Ling Zeru.

It is worth mentioning that the jade pendant that Ju Ruobai gave to Jiang Li before had been quietly taken back by Shouxu, so now Jiang Li's neck is empty.

"Aunt Jiang, why are you here?"

"I'm not old and stupid, the person in my arms is gone, I can still notice it. I just didn't expect you to come here, this alley is really related to me, and most of the important people I met are related to this alley. ”

Jiang Li was still standing outside the alley, she seemed to be a little hesitant, and she didn't dare to step into the alley. What happened in this alley twenty-seven years ago is still engraved in her heart, and as soon as she approached this alley, fear sprung up from the deepest part of her body, as if it were pierced to the marrow.

Ling Zeru saw that her expression changed a little, and knew that she must be afraid. He stood up and walked towards Jiang Li, and at a certain moment, Jiang Li, who was staring at him, suddenly widened his eyes, and then sat down on the ground.

"Don't come here!"

Jiang Li subconsciously shouted a sentence that made Ling Zeru freeze in place.

Then the two of them fell silent together, which made Ze Ru still a little confused, but Jiang Li immediately realized something.

For some reason, as she watched Ling Zeru walk step by step, at some point, a familiar feeling surged through her whole body—she was so frightened when the murderer turned his head to stare at her twenty-seven years ago.

"That's the location......"

"What?"

"That murderer is standing where you are now......"

"You mean, more than twenty years ago?"

"Ahh......h Yes, it seems that I was scared, but for some reason, when you came over just now, I was suddenly scared. ”

"Are you alright?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Jiang Li hurriedly got up and patted the dust on his body.

"It's not early, Ruobai, let's go back first. I've been dangling outside in my pajamas, and it's not good to be seen. ”

"Hmm."

Ling Zelu walked to Jiang Li's side and went back with her. I don't know if it's his delusion, Jiang Li seems to have deliberately kept some distance from him along the way.

“……”

At this time, Shouxu's voice appeared in his mind with a somewhat mocking tone:

"Oops, it seems that Jiang Li has noticed something, but unfortunately she didn't remember that you were her daughter, but she realized that you were a murderer."

"Did you design this? You can't lose the pendant for no reason and it just happened to be in the alley. ”

"Then you just think too much, why do I have nothing to do such a thing? Ling Zeru, you still have to think of a way, she seems to be a little afraid of you, can the final goodbye go smoothly? ”

“……”

Ling Zeru, who was the agent of Ju Ruobai at this time, was killed by Ju Ruobai, which caused him to be unable to unite with Jiang Li and give birth to their daughter named Ju Ruobai, so Ku Ruobai also disappeared. In order to solve a certain space-time paradox, Shouxu found another person to take the place of the murderer who killed Yu Youqing, so that there were no logical loopholes, and the only thing that was questionable was the motive of this new murderer to kill Yu Youqing.

"Should I call her Mommy?"

"What do you think? Ling Zeru, you now have all the memories and emotions of Suruobai, and despite the different personalities, I also believe that you can make the most correct choice for her. ”

After returning to Jiang Li's house, Ling Zelu glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and the time showed 9:25. In the living room, Zhun Yunming was still sleeping, and he didn't notice that the two of them went out and came back.

"This kid can sleep so well in the living room. It seems that you don't have to leave at the beginning, just let this guy sleep in the living room at night and vacate his room for you. ”

"Ahaha, that's pathetic."

Ling Zeru's eyes swept over Zhun Yunming's face slightly, and he could see at a glance why he was able to sleep so soundly.

That guy Shouxu, I don't know when he used forced hibernation on him, so that only he and Jiang Li could move in the entire room, and there would be no one else to interrupt him when he said goodbye.

"Aunt Jiang, I want to go to the room to see the situation of the prospective uncle first, okay?"

When Jiang Li was about to go for breakfast, Ling Zeru proposed to go to see Zhun Junni, ostensibly to see the situation, but in fact, he wanted to say goodbye to him.

"Well, there you go."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he went into the kitchen. Ling Zeru quietly opened the door of the room and came to the bedside of Zhun Junne. Zhun Junni was unconscious in the end, and he still maintained the exact same posture as last night, lying on his side while his hands were still pulling the quilt.

"I didn't expect that in the new world, you and your mother are really together, it seems that your mother is destined to marry a policeman. I just don't know, if you can be together once, will I really be able to have a younger brother named Zhun Yunming. Ah, so be it, first of all I want to thank you, as a police officer, you saved my mother twice, the first time you pulled her back from the edge of death, and the second time you soothed the wounds in her heart. Mom, she was able to meet you, it was the greatest favor given by the gods in a difficult life, and this favor made me feel a little bit of it, and for the first time in my later life, I experienced the feeling of father's love. ”

Ling Zeru held Zhun Junne's hand, looked at his side face, and suddenly didn't know what to continue to say.

"I ...... So, let's talk about something different. I once thought about a question, why do you take such care of me who is not related by blood? I've been thinking that maybe you just want a child, but if you and your mother have a child that belongs to the two of you, then I who are not related to you by blood will be of no use to you, and you won't pay attention to me anymore. So, probably, having a younger brother is not a good thing either. But now, I have understood that you are willing to be good to me entirely because of your kindness, even if you already have Yunming, you are still willing to stretch out your hands to me, accept me, and help me. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable why Yun Ming was so willful before, because his father and mother loved him so much, so he didn't have any troubles. It is understandable that he would have been so hostile to me before, because he was afraid that I would take away his parents and the love that belonged to him alone. But in fact, his worries are all unnecessary, you and Mom...... He is Aunt Jiang's child, he is always the only one, and I'm just an outsider.

Uncle Prospective, I'm leaving, I'm sorry, I can't say goodbye to you while you're awake, I don't know if you can hear what I just said, and even though I'm not actually a white man, I dare to say these things to you on her behalf...... But my behavior should still be forgivable, after all, after I leave, you won't remember me anymore. Uncle Prospective, although I am an outsider, I still want to ask you to take good care of it...... Aunt Jiang, take good care of Yunming, after all, not every family of three can be as safe and stable as your family, and be happy. ”

When he said these words again, Ling Zeru's body couldn't stop trembling, and he experienced a feeling that he had never experienced before, he should have only been thirteen years old, as if he had experienced an emotion that only adults had in an instant.

He let go of Zhun Junne's hand, walked out of the room, and before closing the door, he couldn't help but take one last look at Zhun Junne's back.

"Goodbye."

Jiang Li hadn't finished cooking breakfast yet, and Ling Zeru took advantage of this time to walk to Zhun Yunming's side.

In a sense, he and Zhun Yunming can also be regarded as half-siblings.

Oh, the current Ling Zeru, should I use "she" or "he", the body is female but the soul is male, should we recreate a word or phrase to refer to this kind of existence?

But now, let's use the attributes of the soul to represent a person's attributes, Ling Zeru's soul is a boy, so he is referred to by "he".

Looking at Zhun Yunming's head, he began to think crankily, for example, will this guy's face be somewhat similar to himself.

But I'm not white.

I wanted to say to him, "Listen to my mother", but in the end, he couldn't say it.

In the time he was in a daze, Jiang Li had already made breakfast and beckoned him to come over to eat. When he came to the dining table, he found that Jiang Li had actually made breakfast for four people.

"These two are for those two guys, and they both slept so dead, if it's cold, let them eat cold. Let's eat first. ”

"Haha, Aunt Jiang, one of them is your husband and the other is your son, you should be better for them."

"Don't worry, I'll just talk about it, and I'll give them a good heat when the time comes."

Looking at Jiang Li, who was jokingly making himself laugh, Ling Zeru nodded-this home is already perfect, and there is no need for another one to make a mess.

Breakfast was simple but tasted good. Zhun Yunming and Zhun Junni naturally never woke up, and let the food cool, and there were only Jiang Li and Ling Zeru at the dinner table.

"Two people, it's still not as lively as three people."

"Huh? Ruobai, did you just say something? ”

"No, I'm just thinking that if Uncle Quasi and Yun Ming are also together, the four of us will eat together, it will definitely be very lively."

"Maybe they're too tired to wake up so late today. But it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future, and we will have a meal together next time. ”

Seeing that Ling Zeru did not respond to this sentence, but sat there silently in a daze, Jiang Li felt a little strange.

"What's wrong? What's on your mind? ”

"It's okay, Aunt Jiang. Then next time, next time, the four of us will eat together again. ”

The clock had already reached 9:49, and there was not much time left for Ling Zeru, only about half an hour left.

"Aunt Jiang, why did you suddenly say that before?"

"What?"

"Just before, in the alley, you said to me, don't come."

"Ahh At this moment, Jiang Li was a little panicked again, "No, no, I didn't say it to you, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little scared, and then, my foot was weak and fell, and then, I ......"

"Aunt Jiang, did you mistake me for the murderer that night?"

"How is it possible, Ruobai, you think too much......"

"Hmph, I'm kidding, Aunt Jiang."

After Ling Zeru finished speaking, she suddenly pulled the chair and let herself sit next to Jiang Li, and then said close to her ear:

"Aunt Jiang, do you think I may be your daughter?"

"Huh?" Jiang Li, who heard this, looked surprised, "But didn't the appraisal result say that we are not related by blood?" ”

"Hmm." Ling Zeru nodded, "But before the appraisal results came out, you must have also considered this issue, right?" What did you think at the time? ”

"I ......" This really made Ling Zeru right, Jiang Li had indeed thought about this question a long time ago, "This, of course I still think it's impossible, because I just don't have a daughter......"

Hearing this, a little disappointment flashed in Zeru's eyes. Obviously, there was only the last half hour left, and Jiang Li still didn't remember it at all.

"Maybe, that's fine."

He said to himself silently in the bottom of his heart, then stood up, stretched, and calmed down.

"What's there to be unhappy about? Obviously, I can go back right away, and everyone here can wake up after I leave, forget about me, and go back to normal life. ”

But when he thought of the last two sentences, he was suddenly stunned again, and an unstoppable sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed that the matter of being forgotten could not be lightly brought by playing handsome and then pretending not to care, as long as he thought of it, even he would be depressed.

"Aunt Jiang, I'm going back, if it's convenient for you now, can you accompany me for a walk?"

"Huh? Can I wait until I'm done washing the dishes before I go? ”

"No, Aunt Jiang, because I don't have much time. If you want to wash the bowl, just ask them to wash it when they wake up. ”

"But ......"

"I'm telling you quietly, if you don't go now, you'll regret it later, because I have a surprise for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't refuse anymore. She agreed to come down, and after going to change clothes with Ling Zeru, the two of them walked towards the outside of the house.

Along the way, Ling Zeru behaved as before, chatting happily with Jiang Li as a white man. Although everything is the same as before, maybe it's because when Ling Zeru invited her before, she changed from her usual quiet and well-behaved, but became a little mysterious, which couldn't help but make her heart beat a drum.

The two seemed to be wandering around aimlessly, but in fact, Ling Zeru led her all the way to a strange house, and then stopped.

"Aunt Jiang, have you been here?"

"What is this?"

Jiang Li didn't have any clue in the face of this unfamiliar building, and she didn't even realize that Ling Zeru had brought her here on purpose.

"There used to be two people I knew lived here. They are a mother and daughter, dependent on each other, the daughter gradually grew up under the hard work of her mother, and then left here in order to go to college. ”

"And then?"

And then ...... The mother also left, and the daughter only came back once. ”

"That's right...... I don't know, how are they doing now. ”

"They're doing well, and even though they don't know each other anymore, they're all living happily ever after."

"Wait, I don't understand, how can a mother and daughter not know each other? And, does that mean they're separated? ”

Of course, it is possible that the mother and daughter do not know each other, especially if a piece of paper says that they are not related by blood. As for separation, not yet, but ......"

"But what?"

Ling Zeru didn't say anything for a long time, and Jiang Li waited silently. But in response to her was a quiet smile on Ling Zeru's face, and he then said:

"Aunt Jiang, will you accompany me to another place?"

"Where?"

"You'll know if you go, it's not far away, you should be able to catch up."

Ling Zeru pulled her, sped up her pace a little, and after a hurried journey, she actually found that the place where the two of them stayed at this time was actually the local train station.

"The train station? Ruobai, what are we doing here? ”

"I'm here, of course, for that."

Jiang Li looked in the direction of Ling Zeru's finger, and saw a square pavilion there, Ling Zeru took her into it, it turned out that this was an automatic photo booth, and she only needed to put in coins to leave a set of group photos for the people in front of the camera.

The train station is a place that carries countless partings and reunions, and setting such an object here may be able to leave memories of each other for people who are about to say goodbye.

But it's a pity that the two people left in a hurry, and neither of them came out with coins.

"It's a shame that if you bring the coins, we can take a picture together."

"It's okay, Aunt Jiang. Do you remember when I said that there would be a surprise for you? ”

"Huh? Do you want to give it to me now? Wait, wait, I'm not ready! ”

"Then you hurry up and get ready, just close your eyes."

Jiang Li obediently closed his eyes, waiting for the moment when Ling Zeru said please open his eyes, but after a long time, he didn't wait.

"Ruobai? Aren't you okay yet? ”

“……”

"Ruobai, why don't you speak?"

“……”

"Ruobai, are you still there? Don't scare me! ”

“……”

There was no response to several inquiries, Jiang Li couldn't help but open his eyes, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he directly saw the white face, and the expression on his face seemed to be still snickering.

"What, Aunt Jiang, are you so afraid that I'm gone?"

"You, you child! Do you need to ask, even if you want to leave, you must not leave without saying a word, you know? I'll be worried! ”

"How worried will you be?"

"It's going to be worried! I won't be able to eat for days and I won't be able to sleep well! ”

"Hahaha, I understand, Aunt Jiang. Sorry, I just wanted to make you worry about a joke, right? Well, your surprise is right around your neck. ”

When Jiang Li heard her say this, he realized that he had an extra thing on his neck. It was a necklace, and there was a pendant under the necklace, the pendant didn't look new, it should have been some time, such an old pendant, why would she want to give it to her.

"Won't you open it and take a look? Aunt Jiang. ”

"Huh? Is there something in it? ”

Jiang Li picked up the pendant with both hands, and then tried hard to break the hinge of the pendant, but perhaps due to posture problems, she found that she could not open it.

Seeing that she couldn't open it, Ju Ruobai couldn't help but let out a few giggles.

"Aunt Jiang, let me tell you, the reason why you can't open it is because I cast a spell on it. You close your eyes again, and I'll cast a spell on you that will unlock it, and you'll be able to open it. ”

"Are you serious? Ruobai, magic ......"

"Hey, hey, don't you know if you try it?"

Jiang Li closed her eyes as she said. While she was still wondering what the spell would be, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her left cheek.

She seemed to be kissing her cheek, and even Jiang Li could feel her body temperature coming from nearby, and then she put her mouth close to Jiang Li's ear and said to her:

"Goodbye, Mom."

For a moment, Jiang Li felt a cognitive gap in her consciousness, and when she reacted again, her eyes had already opened. The photo booth, which originally felt a little crowded, actually seemed so empty at the moment.

Jiang Li looked around, she didn't find anyone else, and she began to wonder why she was here alone.

But soon, she noticed that she had an extra necklace of unknown origin around her neck, and a pendant at the end of the necklace. She opened the pendant, revealing a folded, yellowed piece of old photographic paper, which, when she unfolded, surprised her with the image that appeared.

It's actually an image of myself, and it looks like an image of myself when I was a little younger. This is strange enough, but what is even stranger is that the self on the photo paper is on the left half, and the right half is empty, which seems very unnatural.

But if there is also a person there, then there is no problem with the composition of the photo.

Jiang Li walked out of the photo booth, the crowd outside the pavilion was bustling, and the sound from all directions enveloped her, making her a little disoriented for a while.

"Why am I here?"

She was puzzled, and the pendant around her neck that came out of nowhere, and the unnatural photo in the pendant, made her feel creepy after thinking about it.

This horror accompanied her throughout the journey home. The fear is at its peak when she passes by an unfamiliar house.

Trotting all the way upstairs, Jiang Li finally opened the door of his house and rushed in quickly. At that time, Zhun Junne, who had just woken up, was walking out of the door, and Zhun Yunming, who was sleeping on the sofa, was also awakened.

"Mom, you just went out?"

Seeing her gasping for breath, Zhun Yunming asked with some puzzlement.

Zhun Junne also walked up to her and asked with concern:

"Are you alright? Let's sit down and take a break. ”

When Jiang Li sat on the sofa next to him to relieve his breath, Zhun Junnie suddenly asked:

"What happened last night? Why did I sleep in Yunming's room? ”

"Dad, don't you remember? When we went to pick you up, you suddenly fell straight to the ground. My mother and I rushed you home, but we didn't pay attention to sending you to my room. Fortunately, I later found out that you were too tired and fell asleep directly, otherwise my mother and I would have taken you to the hospital. Since we didn't want to disturb you anymore, we let you continue to sleep in my room, but my mother wouldn't sleep with you, so I had to sleep on the sofa. ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Zhun Junni, who learned the truth, was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep directly on the road, and let his wife and children worry so much, it was really a bit embarrassing to be the male owner of the family plus a policeman.

"But, my dear, you don't want to sleep with me, are you still angry with me?"

Hearing Zhun Junne's question, Jiang Li simply shook her head, it was obvious that her mind had not recovered from what had just happened.

"What's wrong with you, my dear, seems to have something on your mind? By the way, where did you get this necklace around your neck? ”

"I don't know ......"

"There seems to be a pendant down there, and it looks like there's something in it."

"I've seen it, it's a picture of me. Do you want to take a look? ”

Jiang Li opened the pendant, took out the photo paper inside, and opened it to show the father and son. And they noticed the strangeness right away.

"It may seem like a few years, but most importantly, why are you standing on the left, obviously the right side is reserved for another person."

Zhun Junni pointed out the key point at once, this peculiar photo, the composition looks very much like a group photo, but in fact, only Jiang Li's figure is reflected on it.

"I don't know...... I don't understand either, but I now have a feeling of emptiness in my heart, as if something important has been lost. ”

"So serious? So don't think about it so much, my dear, let's go to dinner first. ”

"I've already eaten, you can just go, I've made the meal, it's on the table."

The family of three returned to their previous lives, the father and son hurriedly went to wash, and Jiang Li sat alone in the living room in a daze. Zhun Junne was the first to finish, so he was the first to go into the kitchen, and Zhun Yunming was the first to finish, so he walked into the kitchen one step later.

But in fact, as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was startled by the scene before him—his father, Zhun Junne, was standing motionless at the dining table, as if observing something.

"Dad?"

"Shhhh Yunming, come and see. ”

Zhun Junni's mysterious appearance made Zhun Yunming's heartbeat speed up a little. He walked lightly to the table and followed his father's gaze to the table, and after a moment, he gasped.

I saw that there were four breakfasts on the table, two of which should have been left for a long time and were no longer steaming, while the other two had been eaten, leaving only the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Obviously, one of them was eaten by Jiang Li, so what happened to the other one......

"Yunming, it seems that something has indeed happened that we can't understand. In short, don't tell your mom about it, I'll clean up these two dishes and chopsticks first, and you can go eat first. ”

"Hmm...... Dad, is it possible that my mother made one more serving, and then, I ate two servings by myself? ”

"It's possible, but my instinct tells me not to tell her about it, and not to ask her. Listen to Yunming, you just don't know anything, nothing happened, just live as usual, and if anything happens later, let's talk about it later. ”

"Oh, okay."

At the same time that Jiang Li's family of three started a new day, on the other side, Bai Jinmi, who was lying on the bed, also opened her eyes, and after sitting up from the bed, she couldn't help but stretch.

"Well, why am I here? Hey, Mom, why are you here? ”

Bai Jinmi's voice woke up her mother, who was sleeping on the side of her bed, and as soon as she saw Bai Jinmi wake up, she directly hugged her into her arms and muttered in a crying voice:

"Sumire, you're finally awake, if you don't wake up, your mother will think that you will never open your eyes again......"

When Bai Jinmi's mother and daughter embraced each other, Qu Yanfei and Chu Fangxing also woke up almost at the same time. When Yan Fei opened his eyes, there were his father and mother standing beside his bed, and when Chu Fangxing opened his eyes, it was a young boy standing next to her bed.

When the boy saw Chu Fangxing wake up, he shouted in an excited voice:

"Mom, you're awake!"

"Jia Ran? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with your dad......"

"Mom, I'm with my dad. He's right outside the door right now. ”

"Hmm......"

And just like that, everything in this town is back to normal. Jiang Li's family of three has returned to their old lives, and unlike before, Zhun Yunming, who was once playful and willful, now actually helps his parents with housework. After Yan Fei and Bai Jinmi were discharged from the hospital, they still played together, but when it came to the fact that the two of them actually opened their eyes together in the hospital at the same time, both of them felt incredible. Chu Fangjing saw her son and former husband again in the hospital, and had a brief but rare conversation with them, and then returned to the welfare home to continue working.

Everyone had a vague sense that something was wrong, but everyone didn't know what was wrong. Today passed quickly, everyone's life was still the same as before, nothing much had changed, the only thing worth mentioning was that Zhun Junne was promoted because he found out the identity of the deceased in the unsolved case twenty-seven years ago, although he still failed to find out the real murderer.

But when asked what happened to him to find the deceased's younger brother, he couldn't remember it for a while, and finally had to attribute it to a break with his wife, and he met him unexpectedly, which caused a burst of ridicule from his colleagues.

No one remembers that there was such a girl, who came quietly like a starry flower, and finally quietly left, and like a real star in the sky, she gave people her faint starlight in the dark night, and when it was dawn, she hid her figure and let the sun be praised to the fullest.
