Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are thick neon lights with halos, and various colors are shining on the commercial street downstairs. The halos emitted by the neon lights seem to have a layer of warm mist. In addition, the vehicles and passers-by are constantly passing by below, which makes people feel that this block is extremely prosperous.

"Hello."

Uesuma Teru stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone was the psychologist Tsuke Nakamura whom Uesugi took Hanaguchi to see a while ago.

"Mr. Uesugi, how is your wife's condition recently?" Her voice was not too hurrying and asked slowly.

"Also... well... I'm not sure either." Uesuma Sao looked at the scene outside the window at home and replied with a little hesitation.

"Can you tell me what happened recently? Since your wife is unwilling to come to see me, I can also roughly infer her current situation based on these. I already have a clue about your wife's situation. Now I need your information to verify my ideas."

"Recently, she made an agreement with me."

"Agreement?"

"It is the agreement to separate for ten days. According to her, it is because we have been together for too long and want to use these ten days to add some freshness."

"Well... can you tell me the details of this?"

Uesugi Do thought she seemed to understand something, and thought for a moment and replied: "At the beginning... she suddenly said that she was separated for a year. She hesitated for a while, then said another month, and finally said another ten days. When she was about to leave, she would just say ten days."

"It seems that your wife really cares about you very much." Dr. Nakamura on the other end of the phone seemed to be smiling.

"Is there anything wrong with this...?" Uesugi Dog held his cell phone and pushed open the glass sliding door of the balcony.

The noise outside immediately surged in, the sound of the wind and the sound of cars passing by.

He stood in the balcony, breathing while looking at the street view below.

"Mr. Uesugi, you should know that if people want to achieve a goal, they all start with the word "hope to do it". Because of "hope", they will do it.

"Usually, this kind of urgency is collectively called 'desire'. Only with desire can people have the motivation to move forward."

"Since that's the case, Mr. Uesugi, what is the most fundamental reason why your wife suddenly put forward such a condition?"

The most fundamental reason...

Without rushing to answer, Uesugi Ouchi silently muttered the meaning of this sentence in his heart.

Hua Huo suddenly asked to separate for ten days and felt reluctant to leave him... even before leaving, he even looked back at himself.

She doesn't seem to want to do this.

Uesugi Doctor Nakamura on his phone replied, "Is it her other personality that guides her to do this?"

"That's right, but not exactly right."

Not exactly right?

Uesuma has no clue.

"Let's analyze it, Mr. Uesugi."

"Your wife has a second personality. What are the characteristics of this personality?"

Uesuma looked at the night view of the city below the balcony. The cold wind blew cooled his brain. He thought for a while and slowly pronounced a few words to the other end of the phone:

“Own, confident, control.”

"And what about your wife's character?"

"Weak, considerate, tolerant..."

Speaking of this, Uesugi Seo suddenly understood.

The character of the second Hanaman is completely opposite to that of Hanaman Hanaman.

"Does it feels completely opposite to your wife's original personality?"

"yes."

"Okay, after understanding this, let's analyze why two opposite personalities suddenly appear."

Uesugi Sao looked at the endless traffic below from a high altitude, and listened carefully to the sound on the other end of the phone.

"I have treated many patients with mental illnesses before. There is a 64-year-old taxi driver who has maintained the company's best quality driver selection for 30 years. Within 30 years, there were zero negative reviews and zero accidents, and they have come into contact with strange customers from all walks of life.

"Some people are always not so friendly, most of them are young people wearing jackets with tattoos. They are picky about the driver because the fare is too expensive, even if they know that the distance bill is not controlled by the driver.

"They weren't that bad, they were just venting their emotions to him.

"After such unreasonable blame, the driver was just tolerating and bowing and apologizing.

"Thirty years of tolerance made the driver seem to have no response to the passenger's blame. The guest scolded him, and he apologized, and the guest beat him. He apologized repeatedly, just to avoid making mistakes and to the company's selection of outstanding drivers at the end of the year.

"When he worked until he was 63 years old, that is, the year when he maintained a record for 30 years, the company's senior management fled with money, resulting in the taxi company being unable to turn over and the company's capital chain was broken. So, the driver naturally lost his job.

"He is too old and no other company is willing to take him in. He is too focused on his work and has no wife and children for decades.

"Thirty years of excellent drivers have been laid off. Mr. Uesugi thinks, what kind of personality does he eventually become?"

Facing Dr. Nakamura's inquiry, Uesugi Teru was silent for a moment and replied:

"It should give up on oneself, after all, there is nothing left."

"It's not that there is nothing. He relied on his savings he saved for thirty years to buy a house in Shibuya, Tokyo, and he didn't have to worry about money in the rest of his life.

"But he had a huge problem in his heart. Because he lacked the selection of excellent drivers, he began to become irritable, drunken, and abused animals. In the end, he couldn't stand the children often playing around his house, and thus kidnapped the five-year-old child in his neighbor's neighbor.

"This is completely different from his tolerance in the first half of his life. We usually call this mentality of a huge change in personality a rebound effect.

"I want to quit drinking and smoking, but because I have been suppressed for a few days, I have become more indulgent after that, trying to escape pain, trauma and troubles, but because I am too suppressed, these symptoms return in a more negative way."

The rebound effect...

Uesugiba roughly understood the doctor's meaning on the phone. He placed his left hand on the metal balcony guardrail, feeling the slight coolness coming from above.

"Doctor Nakamura means that my wife has this rebound effect?"

"The example is to make you believe that the driver is a real patient I have treated. Your wife's condition is hard to say, but please recall carefully what her second personality looks like.

"Is this second personality a manifestation of your wife's subconscious desire to get a desire?"

"It's just that a character can suppress himself, while the second character believes that some things must be held in the palm of your hand."

Words are conveyed from the other end of the phone to the ears.

Uesuma Dog looked at the flashing neon lights under the city and couldn't help but think.

A long time ago, he believed that the existence of Black Fireworks was another person who did it in the parallel world.

But now I think about it, Black Fireworks is more like a reflection of the desire that Shiwai suppressed in his heart for a long time.

I like myself too much, want to have myself too much, and want to respond to her too much.

Dr. Nakamura said on the phone again:

"According to this idea, your wife proposed the idea of ​​being separated for ten days. I believe you can understand it, right?"

A saying that Hana Huo often says is "Zhaojun must remember Hana Huo."

In order to remember her, she specially dressed herself, made breakfast, made lunch, and helped herself take a bath at night, and pulled herself to do shy things the day before leaving.

The last thing was still happening on purpose.

Uesugi Do remembered that night he could only run to the toilet to solve the rest of the matter.

What she wants is to make herself miss her mentally and physically.

Black fireworks are the ultimate manifestation of fireworks in desire.

Everything comes from the weak girl himself.

Uesugi Sato felt that he understood, but he still had only a vague concept of some things.

"I see......"

"Well, but Mr. Uesugi, you should also pay attention. Your wife has only changed her personality at the moment. If the situation worsens too deeply, a second personality may even appear. At that time, the spiritual interweaving of personality will not be that simple."

"What are the dangers..." Uesugi Tau asked hurriedly.

"Mr. Uesugi, you should know that personality schizophrenia is a mental disease. This disease is not a simple disease in which the body can be safe by using the alternating body. This is very likely to go crazy in confusion, lose intelligence, or lose mind, and become unable to control yourself. So, don't stimulate your wife too much."

"Mr. Uesugi has anything else to ask?"

"No more." Uesuma Doo suddenly became lost.

"Please don't worry too much. Your wife's condition is still healthy. If possible, please understand what she wants most. Desire needs to be vented."

......

beep.

After a blind voice like a resting sign, Uesugi put away the phone.

His face was blowing cold wind, and he felt a little tired again.

The thoughts in my mind are peeled off from the night scene.

Uesugi Osaki came back to his senses, and his mood was completely gone from the loss of his yesterday.
