After activating Memory Fragment: Blue-yellow Paper Rabbit, the picture becomes white again.
Then, the scene came to the first floor of the house.
Old man Johnny played "To Riva" alone in front of the piano. The soft and beautiful piano sound was like a mountain spring flowing in a rocky stream. The monotonous melody composed of two notes continued, but it was not boring.
There are paper rabbits scattered all over the floor of the house, which is very concerning.
The figures of two doctors flickered and appeared behind the old man.
Dr. Rosalind: "Turn off visibility and interactivity, it's going to be troublesome if you're seen."
Dr. Watts responded, gloomy.
They are now in a translucent state, like ghosts.
Dr. Watts surveyed the paper bunnies all over the house: "I have a creepy feeling... Maybe we should look up the old man's mental history."
"What does the paper rabbit represent?" Lin Fan was also very puzzled, "Could it be that the old man is really mentally ill?"
At this moment, the old man stopped playing abruptly, took his hands off the keys, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Dr. Watts: "...he wouldn't have heard us?"
Dr. Rosalind: "It should be in this memory, it was originally like this."
"Clang!" The old man suddenly smashed the piano and made a loud noise.
Maybe he's in a bad mood.
"..." bubbles appeared on the heads of both doctors.
Dr. Rosalind: "Stop gossip, find the memory fragments and jump first."
A progress bar appeared at the bottom of the screen with 5 notches.
Next to the progress bar is a small note: Interact with 5 items to establish a memory chain.
Interacting with the blue-and-white paper rabbit on the floor, Dr. Watts began to joke again: "Well, you are very special, aren't you? Your companions all seem to be drowned in bleach, but you have two kinds of colour."
Lin Fan couldn't help but smile, this metaphor is quite strange.
Whenever an interaction with a memory-building item is completed, a bead emerges from the item and fills the groove.
When all 5 items are found, a new prompt will appear next to the progress bar: You can now take the memory item (umbrella) and travel together.
For memory jumping, this time the scene is a lighthouse in the rain. Old Johnny stood quietly in front of the stone tablet with an umbrella, and there was a black platypus doll beside him.
The stone tablet reads: In memory of Riva. It should be the tomb of the old man's dead wife.
Lin Fan remembered: "Isn't this a scene in the preview picture?"
When interacting with the platypus doll, Dr. Watts complained again: "To be honest, I don't think this species has a right to exist at all."
Just as the doctor was about to enter the lighthouse and look for the memory item, the old man suddenly said, "It's over, Riva."
With the sound of some sad bgm, the center of the camera slowly moved to the old man. In the light rain, the old man said to himself: "I can be like you and take care of her every day... She will never be alone again. Maybe I will never understand, but I will be loyal to your wishes. ."
Lin Fan was at a loss. From the analysis of the old man's self-talk, Riva asked Johnny to take care of "her" before she died. "Who is she?
The suspense not only did not decrease, but increased.
After hearing the old man's self-talk, Dr. Rosalie broke out of his invisibility state, pretended to be a tourist, and went up to talk to the old man.
Johnny: "She didn't have to sleep here. She didn't have to, but she...you don't understand, not even I understand her."
Lin Fan muttered: "The meaning is unclear, let's go to the next memory fragment."
Activate the memory fragment platypus, and the memory continues to move forward.
This time the scene is a small room. A woman was lying on the bed with only her head exposed, reminiscent of the old man's weak appearance on the hospital bed. It was easy to guess that she was Riva. A man stood beside the bed - he was undoubtedly Johnny, but he looked much younger.
There was an open fairy tale book and a black platypus doll on the bed, a bunch of paper rabbits were scattered on the ground, and a piano was placed at the bottom of the room. All are familiar elements.
The two were having a heated argument over the usefulness of a sum of money—no, not an argument. Johnny became emotional and begged to use the money to cure Riva, but Riva stubbornly refused: "If you agree with my ideal, I hope you can use it to build that house."
After a pause: "Then, I hope, as long as you can live on that day, you will take good care of 'her'. Stay with her more, talk to her, and let her live well."
Lin Fan's eyes were filled with doubts: "Why would you rather build a house instead of treating a disease? Who is 'she'?"
Seemingly tired, Riva closed her eyes for a while, then opened them and asked, "Johnny?"
"What's up?"
Riva turned over under the quilt and leaned forward handed Johnny a blue and yellow paper rabbit: "I made this. Tell me, what is this?"
A question mark appeared in Johnny's head: "What?"
"I want you to tell me what it is."
"It's a rabbit, just like any other rabbit you've made."
"anything else?"
"Its body is yellow and the rest of it is blue."
"Exactly, what else?"
Riva kept asking questions, and Johnny didn't know what to answer, and fell silent for a while.
At this moment, Johnny seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I composed a song for you. Would you like to hear it?"
"Okay. What's it called?"
"To Riva."
"Nice name."
Seeing the scene of the little couple reconciling after bickering, Lin Fan couldn't help showing a smile, and his mood relaxed a lot.
The atmosphere in the house went from tense and depressed at first to silence, and now it seems to be relaxed and harmonious again.
Johnny sat down at the piano and began to play.
Familiar melody sounded, and the gentle and beautiful piano sound was like trickling water, like drizzle and breeze, like butterflies fluttering in the flowers, and like a faint moonlight sprinkled from the night sky, the jumping notes seemed to tell the player's feelings Calm and firm love.
Johnny played attentively, while Riva lay on the sickbed, silently watching the direction of the piano, listening carefully.
Lin Fan watched this warm and touching scene, remembering Johnny's lonely back after losing Riva, and he could hear a hint of sadness from the soothing and affectionate piano sound.
It's obviously the same melody, why does it feel beautiful the first time I hear it, but now I feel sad again?
Eyes are a little sore.
