Looking Back in Time and Space

That summer, he woke up from a dream that was too long. The cicadas chirped outside the window as before, and the sunlight fell into the ward, plating everything in gold. Someone was peeling the apple, and the skin hung down in circles without breaking. Someone's ears turned red and they quietly placed the fruit on the bedside. All is well. Only his right hand, where no one saw it, was glowing faintly. It was like something came from another time and lived in his bones and blood. He couldn't remember what he had dreamed. I just remember that when I woke up, my eyes were wet. ——It seems that I have lost someone very important. ——It seems that that person is back now.
