rps+Tomie] NOT+REAL?

The library of the college can be called bright and spacious. Sunlight dazzles half of it through the tall glass windows sparsely inlaid with runes. Come clear.The statue of the Archangel Raphael holding a sword is facing the hanging skeleton, like life and death, heaven and hell confronting each other to achieve harmony.

The air is filled with the sound of the piano, without the sorrows and joys of the world, without the slightest trace of subjective emotions, and the whole space is filled with regular rhythm and divine joy—but the rhythm and divinity follow the opening of the library door. Qingqi escaped - the notes began to jump up, with a little carelessness, just like the hands carelessly walking on the black and white keys.

"Bach's well-tempered temperament?" The instigator who pushed the door unconsciously put his arm on the old-fashioned piano, resting his chin with one hand.

"I'm sorry...Mr Bower, I interrupted you playing the piano..."

"It's okay, I was just passing the time, you know, I'm waiting for you to wake up...it just so happens that Hodge and the others don't know where they went, we're the only ones here."

The piano player obviously didn't mind the interruption at all - his interest had already shifted the moment the other side pushed the door.

"...and...call me Jamie, I think we know each other now-the point is...that way I can call you Toby, if you don't mind-it's easier for everyone."

"Okay...Mr...well...Jamie."

Toby thought that was a really good proposition.

"Are you all right?"

"I think so."

Against the light, the golden hair in front of his eyes seemed to reflect the original gentle sunlight very strongly, so dazzling that he was slightly dazzled.Toby subconsciously raised his hand and covered it slightly, but Jamie just looked at him fixedly, not planning to say anything.

"You play the piano very well..."

"Yeah, I kind of like playing music."

"I heard that you have your own band?"

"Yes, I play guitar and lead a band."

"...not relevant... but have you ever modeled... I mean... Burberry? I think I've seen you - I've always liked the brand, but they never approached me..."

"Um……"

Obviously they should have a lot of things to talk about and analyze the situation, but the atmosphere is a little stuffy.Toby tried to find something to say, but nothing seemed to work.He looked down, bangs casting a shadow on his face.

"It's a wonderful life...you are really amazing."

"Oh, I think so too." Jamie's tone was calm, but the expression on his face—especially those eyes, always gave people a sense of fun.

"Uh... don't you think that's... a bit narcissistic?"

Toby was obviously a little surprised by this response, raised his face and raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, Jess has a line that I really like."

This sudden change of subject?

"My one true love remains myself..."

(My only true love is still myself)

"Hey, aren't you afraid that you'll be slapped in the face sooner or later when you say that?"

"Who knows...maybe."

He keeps looking at me...

Toby saw himself in those deep blue eyes.

Tilting his head, he tried to start some serious conversation seriously.

"...Shouldn't we think about how to go back?"

"Time to think about it. What do you think?"

The other party was still so casual, Toby gritted his teeth, and he spread his left hand.

"Maybe we can try and—"

"—and palms together and fingers clasped again?"

Jamie also spread out his right hand, and on the palms of the two of them, there was a not deep and not shallow cut.

"...Actually, I tried it when you fainted."

When fainting...

Toby noticed that Jamie adjusted his sitting posture slightly, so that half of his face was exposed to the sun. His light-colored right eye seemed transparent to the light, almost with the special effect of different pupils.His fair skin was slightly rosy from the sun.

"Maybe...we should think about something? And posture..."

Toby's voice gradually lowered, and at the end it was almost murmuring, and he buried his head unconsciously.

What's there to be ashamed of!This is serious academic discussion!

"Before you came—that is, when you were filming that scene—what were you thinking?"

"I didn't think anything... well, actually... I don't know..."

Jamie's hands restlessly tapped out pair-by-pair chords on the piano.

"how about you?"

"Me too," said Toby solemnly, "then we'll think nothing of it. Come on!"

Jamie raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

"Okay."

He stood up quickly, and suddenly smiled.

Now it was Toby's turn to be surprised, he took a small step back, forced himself to stand still, and regained his serious expression.

Both hands stuck together with some hesitation, and clasped tightly.

"I think we should close our eyes. Then don't think about anything..."

Toby immediately discovered that this was easier than he had imagined—the moment their hands touched, his mind went blank.

close your eyes.open your eyes.

Nothing happened.

Oh, and aside from the obvious flush on Jamie's face, Toby needs absolutely no reason to believe that it's the same for him - if not more so.

"To be honest, I don't think it's useful..."

Jamie withdrew his hand, shook his head, and looked at his palm again.

"Maybe the steps are wrong? Should we close our eyes before shaking hands?"

Another failure.But this time, Toby at least felt a faint pain in his palm.

One step closer?

"Perhaps... there is something wrong with the posture? Let's take a step closer... Come again!"

The third, perhaps fourth, move like this didn't feel more natural to them.Although they just shook hands, Toby seemed to be able to feel the heartbeat of the other party—maybe it was his own.

close your eyes.open your eyes.

This time they dragged on for a long time, and they probably have developed a certain tacit understanding.

But still failed.Toby was a little frustrated.

"perhaps--"

"Maybe we should cut our hands a little deeper, maybe we need a barn, or maybe... we have to think about whether those two did anything else before the Blood Alliance..."

Jamie calmed down in one breath, and finally slowed down his speech at the end, as if thinking of something, the faces of both of them suddenly flushed completely.

"So this doesn't work anymore."

Toby sighed and lost his way.He easily let go of his hand, not looking at the expression of the person opposite.

"It seems that I won't be able to go back for a while..."

"Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Wen Yan raised his head in surprise, then lowered his head again.

"Actually, it's not that urgent...Since there are two of us now..."

"There is a way."

Somehow, Toby heard the "I'm glad you think so" in the other's tone.

"There is a portal here... It's a bit complicated to explain, but through this portal, you can go anywhere you want."

Toby let Jamie lead the way to the center of the room.After going down a few steps, I saw a pool of surging blue, accumulating vertically, but not flowing out.

"... Strange... When did you open it?"

He heard a murmur in his ear, but he didn't take it to heart. This portal seemed to have a magical power that captivated people's hearts.

"This is it. Once you enter, you will be transported to the place you most want to go deep in your heart."

"You didn't say earlier..."

Thinking of the fuss just now...

"Then we...?"

Toby turned around and looked up at the blond boy.He seemed to suddenly realize a problem.

"By the way...you've been here for a while, right? Why haven't you left? You really don't want to go back?"

"Of course I want to. The time has not come before, but now it is possible."

"Not yet? What does that mean?"

"I'm waiting for you."

That was a very calm and reasonable answer.

ha?Toby's face flushed suspiciously.

"What will you do if I go first?"

"You knew I was coming?"

"I don't know... I just feel that I should take it easy... But fortunately, I waited."

Jamie paused.

"You may not know...Magnus, that is, a wizard here said that our souls are inexplicably connected together. If you die, I will die...I want to live a few more years...Maybe the one before we came fucking pact..."

Jamie still spoke calmly, but Toby always felt that calmness was fake.

His calmness is real.

"I heard it - I wasn't completely unconscious at the time."

Hearing this answer, he was actually relieved, but he didn't know where the little sense of loss came from.

"Then we can use the portal..."

"Wait—maybe we still need a little training—before entering, you must maintain absolute concentration and clear your destination in your mind. If you enter it rashly...you may be trapped in it and linger in your own thoughts forever. "

"...doesn't sound like much fun..."

"It's just... as far as I know... I'm not sure. After all, the heroine in the movie is untrained and doesn't have anything to do with it—of course the halo of the protagonist is not ruled out."

"Then it's better to be careful..."

Toby imagined the possibility, and couldn't help shrinking his neck—in fact, he doesn't really want to try this portal now—it might be good to stay with him.

The portal, which was originally mysterious and charming like someone's eyes, suddenly became dangerous. The breathtaking flowing blue is more like a beautiful poppy, like a trap that tempts to sell one's soul.He seemed to see the wandering figure of someone who accidentally fell into it—no, there was a real person, he quickly realized.

"Oh shit! Forgot about Hodge..."

Toby didn't know what kind of trouble it would be. He only heard Jamie's annoyed voice, and his hands were clasped tightly.
