Ian: Regarding age, do you two have anything to say?

Perry: No!We are young!

Ian: Some say you've lived so long and you're still naive...seems to be true.

Bucky: I don't think so.

Ian: Well, what do you say?

Bucky: We have indeed lived for a long time, but in fact, according to the standard of "living" and growing up like normal people, there is not much time.You say Perry is naive, but have you considered her situation?Or is it just talking?Your understanding is not really understanding, empathetic understanding.

Perry turned to look at him, eyes wide.

Ian: Yes, yes, yes, it's not that I don't understand, I understand Lili, I understand.So, Riri, what do you want to say?

Perry: I don't have much to say about age... but about the conclusion that "living a long time should look very old and mature".I feel compelled to say something.Margaret said I had always been a child, but why couldn't I have been a child while my sister was alive?What's more, when it's time to take responsibility, don't I have it?Do I have to grow up to be better than anyone because I fell in love with someone?Am I not growing?I have never been in contact with people before the age of seven, so who will tell me what a normal person looks like?I ignore other people's harm to me, they take it for granted.Then why when I fought back, no one stood up and criticized them for "not ignoring my harm"?I'm not trying to accuse anyone, I'm just saying that everyone who stands on the comfortable moral high ground is rubbish.

Ian: ...Okay let's move on to the next topic.

【17】

Ian: Regarding the inexplicable sense of historical weight on the two of you, what do you two have...

Perry: Just say I'm inexplicable, don't bring Bucky with you.

Ian: Huh.

Perry: First of all, I would like to say that I never thought I had any "heavy sense of history".I was just born in the wrong age and family. The Hundred Years War between Lancaster and York is the heavy history. As for all the petty fights with Jasper after I was born, it is just personal. enmity.

Ian glanced at Jasper who was under the stage. Jasper didn't speak, but pursed his lips tightly.

Perry: I don't have a heavy history on me, I just come from a certain node in history.So, let alone what is inexplicable.

Ian: So Mr. Barnes...do you have anything to say?

Bucky: What else do you expect a WWII veteran to say.I missed my era, but I didn't miss Perry, so the era we're in isn't too bad.

Ian: ...Oh, well.

【18】

Ian: Lili, you really need to change your character.Sometimes I think too much and my temper is too sensitive.

Perry: If it doesn't give me enough sense of security, how can I think about nothing.But if I can live like this every day, then I will have a good mentality like now, just like ordinary people.In addition, there are many people with sensitive and slender personalities in this world, and I am one of them.Your accusation, what is the so-called hope that others will correct it, as if this is the original sin of error!This is so unfair to us.

Ian: ...I knew you would say that.Although usually wronged and excluded, you seem to have nothing to say.But actually, you still care, right?

Perry: No, I don't care.I accept it well, I just feel that since you can treat me like this, one day I will treat you with the same attitude, and you all have to be as good-minded as I am today.

Ian (sweet smile): I couldn't agree more with you.So what about Mr. Barnes?

Perry: I think I can answer that question for him.Bucky has always "accepted well" the injustice of fate.After all, we are still fundamentally different people.

Bucky: But, only we can understand and accept each other.

Ian: No, I'm fine with Riri too—

Perry: No!

【19】

Ian: How about a lighter topic.Please describe your past in words.

Bucky: Reunion after a long absence, lost and found again.

Perry (raising the corners of his mouth): The future is promising.

【20】

Ian: If you could do it all over again, what would you most want to change?

Both were lost in thought, and after a while, Perry was the first to answer.

Perry: Be nice to Jasper!

Ian/Bucky: ? ? ?

Perry: I just found out that Jasper is my biggest cheat, so if I treat him better, all the problems will be solved!

Jasper in the audience: ... wishful thinking.

Bucky: I don't think all the past can be changed by one action.But if I could, I'd choose to hold Steve's hand earlier.

Perry: ...although it is clear what you are talking about, but why it is inexplicable makes me feel weird.

(After speaking, he glanced at Ian and Jasper)

Ian: Everything is possible, maybe in the next episode, you can be in the parallel universe——

(Shut up warning from the author)

【21】

Ian: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo finally able to talk.Lilili, my little cutie, Lili, why do you always like to sit on high boxes or balconies?

Perry: ...I...

Bucky: Nice view?

Perry: No, it's just...

Bucky: That must be because you are afraid of heights and want to challenge yourself?

Perry: Oh, what, it’s because when I was a child, I could only see the outside by sitting on the balcony window, so I like to sit on the balcony.

Bucky (silently): Perry...

Ian: But by the way, I don't know how you like to sit in these places—

Perry: Carter, a World War II military doctor, likes to sit on the alcohol box, which is where Bucky and I kissed for the first time; Perry, a small clerk, likes to sit on the office table, although this image is not good; fleeing with Bucky In my apartment in Romania, I sat by the window to meet the ghost; after Margaret died, I went to the nursing home and sat on the balcony of her room and drank many bottles of wine; On the big box in the factory, I told him how wronged I was, and I fell down when I was drinking on the balcony in my own room at LWL——Ian, you just didn’t notice it, didn’t notice it, But that doesn't mean I don't have it, I don't like it.It’s just that the readers are not careful, but it doesn’t mean that the author didn’t pour his heart and soul into every detail... Seriously, as long as you don’t want to pay attention, even if I tell you why I like to sit on high places like balcony boxes, you won’t I don't understand that every time I sit like this, I feel the same as when I was a child...

【22】

Ian: Tsk, it's normal for everyone to get what they need.I just want to know your story, but your mood won't affect me.Like "they" look at you...seriously, it's because of Bucky Barnes.Isn’t the nature of the world we live in a book?

Perry: It doesn't seem right to say you're shallow, and it even sounds reasonable.But, Ian, you said that the nature of the world we live in is diabolical. Don't you think that you don't exist, not a living life?I don't think so, we are alive and have our own life trajectory.Although everything is there for Bucky at the beginning, but since we have life, this world is no longer one-sided.

Ian (startled for a moment): Of course I will not deny my existence...

Bucky (Winter Soldier question mark): Why can't I understand?

The author in the audience hugged Jasper and cried bitterly: I have written so much for so long for free, so it should be enough to let me speak for myself once?Beep, beep, I love you!

【23】

Ian: How are you getting on with your neighbors?

Perry: You mean Wilhelms and Jerome?

Ian: Exactly.

Perry: They're... well, Wilhelms is cute, and Jerome used to be a standard villain.They have experienced a lot, lost a lot, and changed a lot.But in this world, everyone is loved no matter who they are.This is good.

Bucky: ...they're dangerous.

【24】

Ian: What do you think is the meaning of your existence?

Bucky:?What is the problem.

Perry: So...should be my answer to the above question. (Laughs) Life is too bitter, we just need a little sweetness.

Bucky: Existence doesn't need meaning.

Ian: Sure.

【25】

Ian: Well, we talked about the past and the present.So we can now start looking to the future.Lili, do you have any plans for your future self?

Perry: Ah...probably buy more cosmetics and take care of yourself, trying to make yourself older than Bucky.You know, I'm not a witch now, I'm aging at a normal rate, but Bucky is different.I have to figure out a way to kill the flirtatious sluts as soon as they come out in the future.

Bucky: Perry, no.I will love you forever--

Ian: ——that’s enough, that’s enough for the rustic love talk.Mr. Barnes, what is your vision for the future after proposing?

Bucky: Normal life.Calm, peaceful... (Pauses, then looks at Ian fiercely)

normal!calm!peaceful!

Ian: ...Got it.

【26】

Ian: Okay, so what are you planning to name your children in the future?

Perry: ...is there bound to be a baby?That's a lot of trouble...but if I name it—the girl's Margaret!

Ian (looking at Bucky): That boy's name is Steve?

Perry: Oh no! (hugging Bucky) That's an ugly name!And I don't want my child to grow up to be Guang Zhengwei's image, it's too scary, too scary...

Bucky: ...I think "Steve" is good...

Perry: Not good not good!

Bucky: That said, I feel better...

Perry: Not good not good!

Ian: ... Is it good or not? It's the same as you have a child. Okay, okay, next question!

【27】

Ian: I want to apologize for what I just said, Perry.You guys actually have a baby, how does it feel?

Perry:! ! ?

Bucky:? ? !

Ian: Oh...that's how it feels.

【28】

Perry: Don't you oh oh oh what the hell is there!

Ian: ...Jasper said it.

Jasper in the audience: Oh, stupid woman.

Perry (rushing to the stage, grabbing Jasper's shoulders and rocking back and forth): What are you talking about, what are you talking about?

Jasper who was shaken wildly: You, you, you, stop, stop, don't think you are pregnant, I won't fight with you, do you think I am a gentleman, if you don't let go, I will hit you, let go, ah, ah, Bahn You take this crazy pregnant woman away-

Perry (suddenly letting go): Didn't you just tell me that it's all right?

Ian: ...so, how do you think Jasper knew?

Perry: Are you sure you want to ask someone who was a witch?Do you really think I'm stupid?

Bucky: Perception.It is Lancaster's perception of life. (Turning to Perry) Sit down first, calm down, and go to the hospital for some tests later——

Ian: That's right, you're still a doctor, Lili, I don't know that.

【29】

Ian: Nine questions for No.20, Lili.Have you decided what to name your child?Lili?Lili? ?

Bucky (with a hissing gesture): She's sensing the gender of the baby to decide on Margaret and Steve.

Ian: You're all disabled...

Perry: Oh, there is still a part of perception! (Sudden pause) It's twins!

The disheveled Jasper who was shaken in the audience: Heh, stupid girl——

Perry: So Meggie and Jasper!Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

Jasper: ? ? ? what is the fuxk?

【30】

Ian: Jasper in the audience, please be quiet first, obviously I am the one who can't calm down the most, okay?And you, Perry (glances at the cold Bucky, then changes the subject)...you calm down too.The last question, is there anything you want to say to all the friends here?

Perry: Well, this farewell talk... It's sad, if I say so, or forget it?

Bucky: Because it's a farewell, it's all the more cherished.Perry, we all owe a lot of people a big goodbye.

Perry: Then... (thinking of something, eyes moist).What I want to say most is probably to cherish and pursue.Life is beautiful as long as you don't give up.

Bucky (looks at Perry): Thank you to everyone in my life who loves me, including Steve who is not here at this moment (Perry: Hey!), thank you.You have not given up on me, you have always loved me, and you are willing to go all out for me, overcoming obstacles... Friendship and love are rare, and I have encountered them both.I have met you, the best you in the world.

(Pause) Maybe I've said that to other girls before but... But, Perry, I don't seem to have said it to you.One of the funny things is that I haven't said this to the person I love the most with whom I can spend the rest of my life with.

But this time, Perry... I'm going to say it very seriously—

Perry: I love you too! (jumps to hug)

Bucky (smiling): I love you.

Ian (poking Perry): Riley, one more word?Get up first, shall we?

Perry (eyes glowing red): Still say?Well, the last sentence——

believe in love.

believe in love.

I love you.
