"What are you giggling about?" Lorna saw Angela had no reaction.

"Haha" Angela covered her mouth and laughed, "You are such a textbook tsundere, you are so cute. Are all the books you read comic books?"

"Of course comics are not just for entertainment. I usually read serious literature."

"What serious literature"

"Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Witcher, A Song of Ice and Fire"

Angela burst out laughing.

"Are you disrespecting those great writers, or are you simply disrespecting me?" Lorna pouted and looked at the gloomy woman in front of her.

Instead, Angela laughed even more and leaned on the counter, banging the tabletop.Lorna was not ashamed, she raised her head and noticed that the lights in the store became brighter with Angela's cheerful mood, and the decorative downlights on the top corners also shone with the rhythm of laughter. Shuo Shuo.

"So your ability is to emit light? It's so beautiful." After Angela's breath stabilized, Lorna held her hands, and circles of aurora appeared around the two of them again, floating like clear ripples.

"Maybe it's more than just that." Angela had a smirk on her lips, and she used her power to heat the air around Lorna, trying to dry her damp clothes.

Lorna looked at the swaying auroras around her in amazement and felt the air rising against her skin.Then, the aurora also swirled with the airflow, and the warm rainbow light wrapped around her body, flying like a colorful butterfly in love.

"You are suffocating." After the light dissipated, Lorna pinched the dry clothes on her body, raised her head and praised Angela, her eyes were brighter than the North Star.

"So, what is your ability?" Angela raised the corner of her mouth and teased Lorna.

"You should be able to guess it." Lorna returned the same smile. She raised a finger and casually clicked it on the shelf behind her without looking. A pair of purple sunglasses jumped up from the shelf. , jumped onto her hand, "The aurora just now can only be produced when light and magnetism meet. I can control metal through magnetism."

"Wait a minute" before Lorna could finish speaking, Angela picked up the glasses in her hand and gently put them on Lorna's head.

"Does it look good?" Angela used her ability in the same way to take a mirror from the shelf and put it in front of Lorna's eyes. "This is a peripheral product for the game. Its name is rhinestone sunglasses. I feel It matches you very well.”

"Not bad." Lorna looked at her cool self in the mirror carefully, and suddenly remembered something was wrong. She took off her glasses suddenly, looked at Angela in surprise and said, "You can also control other things."

"What do you think?" Angela waved her hand and put the mirror back in its place proudly.

"No wonder you dare to come out alone so late," Lorna muttered quietly.

"Why did you see that I was the only one in the house? If you wanted to do something bad to me, the knock on the door just now must not have been just a prank."

"Uh, no, ah, no, I didn't," Lorna said in a panic.

"I wouldn't mind, how much money do you have on you?"

"What do you mean, I don't have much money with me." Lorna took a few steps back as if she was frightened, crossed her arms in front of her body, and saw the label of the sunglasses in front of her, "I can't even afford these glasses. "

"Then give me half of your money and it will be yours."

"Are you trying to buy or sell by force?"

"No, today is my first day taking over this store, and you are my first customer. I am just giving you a discount." Angela said with a smile and ignored Lorna, turning around to tidy up the things on the counter. I glanced at the scattered documents and glanced at the purchase price of the glasses, and found that I seemed to have lost a lot.

""

Feeling Lorna's silence behind her, Angela waved again and called Lorna to her side.

"Have you seen the workshop in the back room?" Angela pointed forward, "That's a German CNC machine tool, but it's a pity that I don't know how to use it."

"I know a little bit, I worked in a factory"

"What?" Angela looked at Lorna in disbelief, but immediately became happy, "That's great. Originally, I just hoped that you could use your ability to run this store with me, but I didn't expect you to give me a copy. surprise"

"What do you mean by what you just said?" This time Lorna looked at Angela in disbelief, "You said you wanted me to work for you."

"It's a partnership," Angela emphasized with emphasis. "Not only is it a salary, you will also get a share."

"Why are you so nice to a stranger?" Lorna's eyes were a little defensive.

"It's not that I'm nice to you, but that you help me." Angela answered her seriously, "This is a creative gift shop. It can't work without someone to personalize the products. I found a treasure when I met you. "

"I don't know if I can do it well," Lorna's tone was still hesitant, "and if you knew why I left that factory, you might not think so."

"What happened?" Angela stretched out her hand and put her arm around Lorna's shoulders.

"I" Lorna's body stiffened when she came into contact with Angela's palm, but she did not refuse the overture. She and Angela lay on the counter together, and then said: "I have some mental problems. Sometimes I will be depressed and depressed for several days, constantly denying myself in my heart, and cry about various things late at night; sometimes I will be in high spirits for several days in a row, feeling that I have unlimited future and can do well in anything, and indulge in some unrealistic things. In my fantasies. Sometimes I would be afraid of others and would not dare to defend myself against any bullying. Sometimes I would become a bully and use cruel words and cruel words to strangers and even familiar people. At that time, I was just a finger. The edge of the machine scratched some blood and smashed a bunch of equipment in the factory. I ran away from there. I ran away from home because of this. Aunt Dane wanted me to continue to go to college. I felt that I I couldn't complete my studies. I was so irritated that I couldn't control myself and hurt her. I never dare to see her again."

Lorna cried uncontrollably as she spoke, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.

"What's abnormal about this?" Angela approached Lorna and let her lean on her shoulder. "Emotions are the breath of the soul. They ebb and flow. Everyone's emotions are changing all the time, and sometimes they are high. , sometimes low and slow, just like breathing. Maybe your breathing relaxation is a bit wider, but can a person with a vital capacity of 4000 say that a person with a vital capacity of 8000 is abnormal?"

"No, it's not like that," Lorna covered her head and shook her head. "The school psychiatrist said there is something wrong with my brain, and normal people can control it."

"It's nonsense that normal people can control it." Angela combed Lorna's messy hair with her other hand, "Who is born to be favored and humiliated? Many people just live too normal lives and haven't encountered enough things to make them lose control. The reason why emotions are Constant changes occur because people receive signals from the outside world all the time in their daily lives. Emotions are the amplification of these cognitive signals that drive people to respond accordingly based on the external stimuli they receive. It’s not that you can’t control your emotions. Lorna, it is your cognition that has been restless and constantly sending out chaotic signals. When these messages are amplified by emotions, it seems that you cannot control yourself."

"My perception"

"There are contradictions in your cognition that make you feel anxious and uneasy. I think one of them is the identity of this mutant."

"I'm proud that I have this ability. It's my gift."

"I'm proud of you too, Lorna. But the so-called contradiction is not just one-sided. On the one hand, you feel that you are gifted and can easily do things that others can't; on the other hand, you feel that other ordinary people cannot Don’t think so, because this ability may cause harm to others. You don’t know whether you should show your ability when getting along with ordinary people. This kind of anxiety makes your cognition always active but unstable.”

"What else can I think? I've checked the laws about mutants. They are not fair to us at all. I have to hide myself. I think other mutants are the same. You are the first of your kind that I have met. Others must be hiding well." More thorough than us”

"That's not the case, Lorna. You also have an idea in your heart that you know that the objective world is not like this. You know that not everyone does not accept mutants, but you ignore this idea. This is something else deep in your heart. It’s a paradox, you know you don’t understand the world correctly, but you don’t want to admit it.”

"Yes, after my special powers appeared when I was 16, Aunt Dane continued to take care of me as before."

"Evaluate the world correctly, Lorna. Don't live in a one-sided view of the outside world, and don't live in the torment of uncertainty about other people's thoughts. If you meet a person who is resistant to mutants, then this may be because of his He has been hurt by a mutant, and he has the right to hate that mutant that everyone will support, but he transfers his hatred to all mutants in a general way. This is his own wrong understanding of the world, and you don't need to Pay for that mutant's mistake; if a person takes it for granted that mutants are harmful just because others say they are bad, but he has never encountered this group of people himself, then he is mistaking other people's opinions for You don’t have to prove anything to a fool who has your own opinions. Finally, cherish every friend who treats you like a normal person.”

"That being said, it's me"

"I understand, Lorna, your problem cannot be solved by others. I also feel that your inner worries are not only due to your mutant identity. But you can try to stay with me first, Lorna. Na, you said we are compatriots, right? At least when you get along with me, you won’t face conflicts stemming from identity.”

"Yes, being with you makes me feel at ease. I now have to admit that I did have bad thoughts before. I was caught stealing a piece of bread from a 24-hour convenience store. I swam across the river to escape. After landing, After walking for a long time, I finally saw a brightly lit store. Will you still accept me?"

"No, Lorna, I should be the one asking, can I get your favor?"

"Call me Polaris, Angela" Lorna cried and fell into Angela's arms, releasing the repression she had been feeling.

"You will slowly clarify your subjective thoughts, gradually determine the external objective information, find the many contradictions in your heart, and finally resolve them." Angela patted Lorna on the back, "It's too late for you to fall now. Morning, you are the North Star Lorna Dane. Know yourself, know the world, and become stronger."

"Haha," Lorna wiped away her tears and laughed, and said to Angela; "This is what Mihawk said to Zoro when he met him for the first time. I actually now understand what it means to understand myself and the world. , you also read comics and you laughed at me just now."

"Because you're so cute"

"Thank you Angela," Lorna did not respond to Angela's teasing, "I don't know how to repay you."

"Lorna, the previous owner of this shop did the same to me. He saw that I was in trouble, so he gave it to me as a gift. Now, his gift can help one more girl. I miss him. will be even happier”

"He is so great"

"Yes, he is great, although he will not admit it." Angela hugged Lorna and looked out the window, "By the way, why do you want me to call you Polaris?"

"Sometimes I can see things that others cannot see. They flow through the sky like a roaring river, but they always gather around the star far away in Beichen. I think that star is my destiny."

"That star just happens to be on the Earth's axis, and the Earth's magnetic poles do not coincide with the Earth's axis. The convergence you are talking about must be far away from the North Star."

"You are so unromantic, Angela." Lorna pouted angrily, then lowered her head and opened her trouser pocket, "I have a total of 20 yuan on me now, I'll give you 10 yuan."

"These rhinestone sunglasses are yours from now on, Lorna."

"And I will be yours from now on. The boss still has one. Call me Polaris."

"That's too weird to call you, Lorna, I won't accompany you to the second grade."

"You just called me that"

"Okay, I guess I'll call you that if I'm in a good mood in the future."

"Humph"
