Sari sat on the sofa and looked out the window.

The cold wind whistled, and a dark and deep blue ocean.

This is the case next to the port. It was sunny during the day and it became gloomy in the afternoon without any warning.

After Shari returned home in the afternoon, she placed the dried fish on the windowsill, but found that the sun above her head had disappeared, and a thick dark cloud slowly pushed over the sea level, like the ancient Roman legion that was about to go to battle.

The bitter sea breeze rustled, and the glass seemed to break down the next moment.

The rain roared and slapped the door, making her unable to help but worry that the door would crack at any time, letting the rain mixed with cold sea water pour into the room and flood everything.

Now all the ships are moored in a safe haven. The wind is howling on the sea surface, and the waves are shattered one after another on the wooden boards beside the port. Millions of waves hit the coast, making a manic howling sound.

It seems that the end of the world is coming.

————————————

Lorraine, a port city adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

Shari has lived here for seventeen years.

It was dark, but she was still the only one in the room.

The lights in the room had already gone out and were pitch black. It might be that the strong wind blew the wires off.

The room was dark, but Shari could still see it clearly.

Her crystal clear eyes blinked twice and pressed the switch of the radio on the table.

After a sizzling electric current, the soft voice of the host of the emotional program radio sounded: "...The flowers bloom and then wither. The stars are bright, but the light will disappear. This earth, the sun, and even this universe will die. Compared with these things, a person's life is like a matter of a moment. Everything about us is just an encounter in an instant, and in the end we will be reborn into the eternal sleep of death."

"Thank you for listening, I wish you a happy mood."

Next was the advertisement, and Shari turned off the radio. She just wanted to hear other people's voices, that's all. After listening, she felt relieved. There was no need to listen anymore.

She suddenly felt that people were so wonderful. When she was lonely and helpless, she felt warm when she heard a stranger whispering a few words of comfort in her ear.

Even if he doesn't comfort you, even if it's fake.

It's time to get off work now, and it's raining heavily outside. There should be many cars on the street. The city is full of lights and wine, and even the heavy rain cannot cover up the lively atmosphere. She seems to be able to see the streets shining with light, the electronic screen is flashing, pedestrians are hurriedly holding umbrellas, and the heels are splashing rain. The wipers in front of the car are swaying left and right, and the rain blurs the car windows and flows down both sides.

This is not an imagination, but a scene she saw after school.

————————————

The corridor in the teaching building was pitch black, the wind was wrapped in rain and slapped the window, and it was cold. Shari touched the umbrella in her schoolbag and sat quietly in the classroom.

She looked down at her math textbook.

"Hi...Sari... are you going to go together?" The boy in the back seat gently patted her shoulder. The collar of his shirt in his school uniform was neatly tidy, his hair was meticulously carved, and gold wire was inlaid on the glasses. He looked at her calmly.

Shari's heart suddenly pounded.

She refused Clayson's cake in the morning. She felt the same way she was now. Her heart was pounding, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. After waiting for about half a minute, she slowly shook her head and said softly:

"No, thank you."

Clayson showed a disappointed expression on his face. He said nothing, and left the classroom with a stiff expression. The footsteps slowly weakened and then disappeared.

Shari took out a flat cake box from her schoolbag, which was given to her by Clayson, but she did not eat it, but threw the cake back expressionlessly.

She carefully took out the flattened box, restored it with her hands, and placed it on the table.

"I'm sorry." She said softly.

She knew that she was not from the same world as her classmates in school.

Whether it is facing doubts, ridicule, exclusion, or admiration... she can't accept it. These things are like mirages to her, like an out of reach. Although she also studies hard at school every day, wearing neatly tidy school uniforms, taking exams and club activities on time, just like everyone else.

But she knew deep down that she was an alien.

——————————————

A miserable white lightning flashed through the sky and illuminated the room. The simple furnishings, with few pieces of furniture that could be used, the floor seemed to be soaked in sea water for a long time, and it had already emitted a faint musty smell.

Shari interrupted her memories.

The wooden passage outside the house sounded the sound of footsteps. Judging from the severity and frequency, it was the person she had been waiting for.

She stood up and confirmed that the windows and doors were closed, then took out a raincoat from the closet, draped it over her body, and changed into rain boots. However, after hesitating for a moment, she took off her rain boots and stood on the floor barefoot.

The cold and hard wood conveyed this feeling to her.

Bang.

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a burly man walked into the wooden house with wind and rain.

He was wearing a dark green raincoat and black rain boots on his feet.

Stepping on the wooden floor, whistling.

Shari looked at the man for a while, and the man seemed to want to reach out to touch her face, but she avoided it.

The man sighed, took off his rain boots, and stepped on the floor barefoot.

"let's go."

His voice still sounded hoarse and firm.

Shari followed the man silently and walked into the pouring rain.

She turned around and closed the door.

The rain slapped on the feet, which was cold and dense, and felt very comfortable.

Neither she nor the man held an umbrella, letting the rain wet her whole body, flowing down her hair into her neck, wetting her clothes.

A moment later, the roar of the engine rang out.

The painted black motorboat was like a docile kitten in the man's hands, and it stopped steadily at the harbor. Without hesitation, Shari jumped onto the motorboat. Seeing this, the man started the engine.

"Buzz--"

The motorboat started and left the port.

"I just went back and prepared some things. I'm late. I'm sorry I didn't pick you up."

The man's voice came through the slap of the waves, slightly blurred.

He then asked, "It's better to come back by taxi?"

Sali nodded.

"The storm today is OK, not very big."

The man stood up in the wind and rain and said casually.

Not very big?

Shari looked at the rainwater that almost covered the sky, and then looked at the stormy waves surrounding it that were slamming the coast wildly. She couldn't help but curl her lips and didn't answer.

The motorboat drew a snow-white arc in the wind and rain, and the waves exploded behind him.

Shari sat steadily on the motorboat, looking at the waves surging like the surging peaks, with a calm expression.

If Clayson saw this scene, he would probably be surprised to even fall off his chin.

The boy who confessed to her would never know that the girl he liked who looked weak and beautiful could actually twist his head with one hand and easily break his wrist, or move forward without changing his face in such a terrifying storm.

Men are right, they are not people from the same world at all.

She looked back at the harbor. The familiar wooden house had turned into a small square, looking as small and fragile as a toy model, and seemed to be shattered by the surging waves around at any time.

The waves slapped the motorboat and the boat swayed wildly, giving her a feeling of riding a roller coaster.

She still remembers the first time she went to the amusement park and the first time she took a roller coaster. At that time, she was so scared that her face turned pale, and her legs became soft after she got off. At that time, her mother gently asked her to buy an ice cream, which was the best dessert she had ever eaten. Every time she thought of it, she could see that sweetness in her mind.

The motorboat drove for about ten minutes in the stormy waves.

The man parked the motorboat in a reef area exposed to the sea. The motorboat couldn't stop shaking, but the rope was stuck at the sharp reef tip so that it would not be blown away by the sea breeze and waves.

"let's go."

The man jumped, jumped off the motorboat, and disappeared on the sea.

Shari looked around and saw the dark sea everywhere, and she could not see anything.

She also imitated his posture and jumped into the sea.
