评分"People do go back but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart or kill your heart or you can choose between two realities. There's much pain here. Some people think you can have your cake and eat it. The cake goes mouldy and they choke on what's left." 讀過中文版竟不記得
