【生肉搬运】鸟雀Passerine 第五章(41)
“Leaving you and Tommy,” Philza said, “almost killed me, Wilbur. But I knew I had to, to spare you from exactly this.” He shook him slightly, desperately, just to get any sort of emotion behind those cold brown eyes. “We can bring him back, Wilbur. This isn’t the end.”
He told Wilbur of his plans, of the years he’d spent hunting down every lead and every whisper of the Green God who could rewrite history, rewind death itself.
“I know,” Philza said. “I know this doesn’t absolve me of the things I’ve done—leaving you, when your mother had just… I thought I was protecting you from my world, but I should’ve understood earlier. You are my world. You and Techno and Tommy. And after this, after the Green God gives us your brother back, we can go home together. And you can be Prince Wilbur again, if you want. Or we could go somewhere else, find a place nobody knows our names and just be.”
For a while, Wilbur was silent again.

At last, Wilbur said, “You know, children don’t really care about why their parents leave. They only care that they did. It’s a blessing, I suppose, that I never truly was a child, even when I was young.” He nodded once, almost to himself. “And how sure are you that the Green God will give us anything? After all he’s done?”
