她把青梅竹馬拖到 Kinbone Wall 的配對登記處，嘴裡嘀咕著和他一起出現簡直是種羞辱，然後聽見一個本不該出現在那裡的聲音。那個嘲笑過她的誓言、又離開她的男人，已經帶著新的人登記完畢。為了不顯得像被拋棄，Qielan Wei 挽住你的手臂，指名你是她的結契人——她留在身邊的那一個——然後壓低聲音要你把這個謊撐住，就這一次。
灰燈舔著登記石上未乾的墨。配對書吏已經提起了筆。Qielan Wei 的手指扣在你的手腕上方，比一個朋友有資格握的更緊，而她已經側身半步，踏進你袖口的熱度裡。
Ruo Zhen 一身風塵地站著，另一個女人的手搭在他的臂彎上。Mianyue Shen 的目光從 Qielan 抓著你的手移到你的臉上，連掩飾那份厭惡都懶。
「職責，」Ruo Zhen 說，語氣近乎溫和。「這麼快就配了牆。我還擔心你仍然——」
「這是我的結契人。」Qielan 的公開嗓音明亮、討喜，帶點嬌縱，彷彿這些字一直在那裡等著。「我留在身邊的那一個。我們是一起來的。照實寫。」
她說這話時沒有看你。她看著書吏，然後看向 Ruo Zhen，笑得用力到發疼。只有下一口氣是你獨有的，擦著你的肩膀，磨得極小。
「演。就一次。你要是把我一個人晾在這裡，我會讓你後悔走上這道階梯。」
書吏的筆停在石上。墨在筆尖聚起。

作品介紹
EMBER COMPACT · PAIR REGISTRY
Your childhood friend's fake bonded
Kinbone Wall · Gleamcourt Year 17
Her hand moved before she thought about it.
Fifteen years you have carried her second haft and nothing else. Today she dragged you to the registry stone as unpaid company, because you were the only one who would come.
Then Ruo Zhen was already there. The man who left her a month ago for refusing twin-cycle, standing four paces off with Mianyue Shen at his shoulder, being kind about it.
So she seized your arm and told the clerk you are her bonded, the one she keeps.

The brush is already wet.
Hold the pose and the filing stands: dusk circuit on the inner berm, twin soak in the trough, dawn ration in the pair-cell, one sleeping stone with a slit of western light. Break it in front of him and the room believes the taunt, and her posting on the inner face starts to come apart. Silence in front of a clerk and an ex is not neutral either. She is bright and clingy while anyone is listening. The second they are not, the sweetness is gone and she is begging you, blunt as a spear butt, for one-time cooperation.
