It's probably another one-way trip

  Luo Lian was afraid of being delayed by the crowded station, so she arrived at the train station several hours early. The station was filled with students leaving home, all first-year freshmen had their parents seeing them off, and some even accompanied them on the way. Only Luo Lian traveled alone from afar. But Luo Lian didn't feel lonely. She was used to being alone and never knew what loneliness was.

  She was afraid that Fan Lei would kill her halfway, hiding in the crowd, and even dared not to look back. Until she stood at the entrance of the station, she turned around and looked at the road she had walked. Suddenly, she saw Fan Lei's thin figure in the crowd, also hiding in the crowd. Fan Lei followed, but did not make a sound, watching from afar, and refused to take another step forward. Fan Lei knew that no matter what, she couldn't keep Luo Lian, Luo Lian was determined to leave, nothing could move her, and going further would be futile. Fan Lei's tears fell uncontrollably, besides this, she didn't know what else to do.

  "Mom, don't cry, I'm not going away forever." Lianlian's last comfort, waving her hand with a smile.

  The familiar words echoed in her ears, "Don't cry, I'll be back..." The person who had once waved goodbye with a smile, spoken those same words, and stepped onto that path with an unwavering heart, had they returned? No, never again! Only a mysterious postcard remained, like a powerful messenger, taking away another loved one, another generation. Time was terrifying, letting decades pass in the blink of an eye, replaying the same scene, uttering the same words, a curse repeating itself.

  Fen Lei watched as Luo Lian disappeared into the crowd, her vision completely blurred by tears. By the time she wiped them away, Luo Lian was gone. She rushed to the glass window and saw below, under the dim light, Luo Lian had boarded the train without hesitation. The whistle blew, and the train slowly started moving, heading towards the horizon. In the usually gray sky, a few stars were twinkling. Fen Lei didn't even have time to wipe away her tears before looking back at the disappearing figure, the train had already vanished into the distant night. At this moment, Fen Lei knew she could no longer control Luo Lian's fate. In this world, she couldn't control anyone's fate, not even her own.

  The dense flowers refused to return, standing alone in the endless stream of people, the hurried traveler became blurred, and different figures from different years gradually floated up... Like a fallen lotus, not afraid to walk the night road alone, carrying a small box, squeezing into the crowded crowd, waving hands, smiling... That was the last scene left behind, from then on, separated by the world of the living and the dead.

  "Farewell, Fan Chen, farewell Luo Lian... no, Jingjing, Blue Sea Whale... you won't be back either, I know it, just like Fan Chen, you won't be back... Is this place really that bad? You all have to leave! You are people from another world... You don't belong here, never belonged here. Even if you stay for many more years, even if you leave and go far away, you'll still have to return... Even if the whole world forgets everything, it's impossible to forget that place, deeply etched in your bones..."
