After becoming a chaotic daughter

Humans are animals that are prone to depression if they do not bask in the sun for a long time.

This is the "little knowledge" that Nanako has seen in some messy book. I don't know if it is true or not, although the full text also involves some "electromagnetic waves", "melatonin", "neurotransmitters" and so on. Very powerful words, but Nanako is just an "ordinary person" with a knowledge reserve of only high school level, and has not received systematic medical education, so in essence, Nanako does not understand the things mentioned in that article .

Just like common rumors on the Internet such as "quantum reading method", "plastic rice", "a bowl of instant noodles takes 32 days to detoxify", some things seem to be unclear, but the authenticity is still open to question, so about Whether there is really a causal connection between "bathing in the sun" and "depression"? On this point, Nanako holds the attitude of "lose it after reading it", and doesn't take it to heart at all.

——But for human beings, the "sun" is indeed a very important existence.

This is the No.14 day when Nanako was locked up in the detention center. There was no clock to tell the time, and the sun could not be seen in the completely closed room. The ever-burning light was on 24 hours a day. The only thing that made her feel "time" This concept is the three meals delivered on time every day—although it is said to be "on time", but Nanako doesn't know the time, so she can't tell whether it is really "on time".

You can't see the sun, you can't tell day and night, you can't feel the passage of time. It takes 21 days to form a habit, but it only takes one week to disrupt a regular biological clock.

Two weeks have passed, and with the bright lights on the top of her head that seem to stay so bright until she "ends her life", Nanako's perception of time has become a mess. She has to eat three meals a day and sleep three times a day.She didn't know if it was because she was really sleepy, or because she was simply bored, so her brain wanted to go to sleep.

In the afternoon of No. 14, after eating a tasteless lunch, Nanako walked around the detention room for a while, then yawned again, feeling like she wanted to take a nap.

On the tenth day, when Gogol came, he said that it would take three or five days before her father would come to pick her up. Nanako sat on the bed and waited in a daze for the whole day, and only those who came regularly came to see her off. She is the caretaker of the meal, so she doesn't want to wait today, she should eat and sleep, don't take it to heart.

Nanako climbed onto the hard single bed, covered herself with the quilt and lay down.The light was a bit too bright, so she turned over, curled up, faced the wall, slept with her head against the wall, pulled the quilt over her head, and finally the light falling on the retina through the eyelids dimmed a little , turned into a level that can make people sleep.

Today is day No. 14. If Dad and the others slow down, she can go home tomorrow, and she won't have to sleep in such an uncomfortable way after she gets home.She can sleep back in her big comfy bed, cuddle up with her old yellow duck doll, draw the triple curtains tightly, turn off the lights and go to sleep.

In fact, she was not very sleepy, so she slept in a half-dream and half-awake state.

It’s easy to dream when you’re in such a light sleep. Nanako dreamed that she was taking an exam, and she was sitting at the next table and walking around. The front desk was Gogol. What is the "identification test", if you don't pass the test, you will not be able to go to university.

Nanako was scratching her hair, unable to write the topic, feeling like she would have no books to read, so she could only sleep in a broken cardboard downstairs at the detective agency and live on the street.The clock hanging in front of the blackboard was already counting down 10 minutes, and the paper was due to be handed in soon, but there was still a large blank on Nanako's answer sheet, sweat dripped from her forehead, and the answer sheet was wet, and the black printed words on the paper All of a sudden it became blurry.

At this time, someone beside Nanako suddenly stood up with a "snap".

Nanako turned her head and saw her idiot father sitting next to her for some reason, taking the exam.Luanbu, who was wearing a shirt and cape, held up the paper in his hand, without a word written on it, it was as clean as his wallet at the end of the month.

He faced the invigilator on the podium confidently and calmly—I don’t know why the invigilator has Kunikida’s face—and said loudly: "I want to hand in the paper!"

Nanako wanted to grab the hem of Ranbu's clothes, and told him that at least the multiple-choice questions should be chosen casually, and that no blank papers should be handed in, but when she lowered her head, she found that there were no multiple-choice questions on the paper at all.

Nanako in the dream: "...!!!!"

【Dad is running out of books to read! ! 】

Nanako's mind was suddenly overwhelmed by these huge words.

She woke up suddenly.

Nanako, who woke up, heard something like someone talking outside. The next second, the heavy double-layer iron gate of the detention area was pushed open from the outside with a "squeak".

The sound of crisp and crisp footsteps came from far to near. Nanako, who was lying on the bed, was wrapped in the quilt, like a small caterpillar, and slowly turned over on the bed, facing the cold and closed iron bars, black and white. His eyes were fixed on the iron-barred door.

The visitor soon appeared in front of the detention room where Nanako was being held.

Not female prison guards in guard uniforms.

It was Miss City Police, Officer Aoki, who was wearing a city police uniform.

Seeing Nanako lying on the bed in the detention room, Officer Aoki subconsciously gave her a comforting smile. In the past [-] days, she has not been able to come in and contact Nanako once, because she and the detective agency used to "communicate a lot" , Now she needs to "avoid suspicion". Her power is limited to viewing all of Nanako's surveillance records in real time. Police officer Kawabe greeted the detention center and prevented her from visiting Nanako inside.

Thinking of this, Officer Aoki sneered in his heart.This is a women's detention area. According to regulations, 90.00% of the prison guards are women. She also handles more women's cases. Compared with Kawabe Asuka, she is more familiar with the police officers here.

Even if she doesn't go in, so what, almost all the guards in charge of this detention area during this period are her acquaintances, she can still know what happened at every moment, Kawabe Asuka didn't let her in, she also The subordinates that Kawabe Asuka can send to interrogate will be kicked out as soon as the time limit expires.

——And now, it is Kawabe Asuka's turn to be "driven out".

After inserting the key into the lock, Officer Aoki opened the solid iron bars of the detention room after entering the password.

She looked at Nanako who was still curled up on the bed, with a gentle and kind smile like an elder on her face: "Let's go, if you are sleepy, go back to sleep when you get home."

Nanako stared at her with very dark eyes, and blinked suddenly.

*******

Before leaving the detention center, Nanako got her clothes back, as well as her confiscated mobile phone and various sundries.

The clothes were the same casual clothes she wore when she went to the shopping street with Miwa on the day she was locked in, gray and black short-sleeved hoodie and trousers, and white sneakers.The clothes seemed to have been washed, exuding a faint fragrance of laundry detergent.The mobile phone I got back had been turned off because it hadn't been charged for several days.The hair clip and hair tie were not lost, and they were packed in a small plastic zip bag.

Nanako took a serious shower in the staff bathroom, and then changed into her own clothes.Officer Aoki helped her comb her messy hair, dried it and tied it into a small ponytail, which was Nanako's usual hairstyle, and Nanako fixed the hairpins on both sides by herself.

She looks like she was when she went out fourteen days ago, clean and neatly dressed, she is just an ordinary child who is well taken care of by her family, she does not look like she is staying in the detention room At that time, it was a bit like a "dirty child".

Looking at herself in the mirror, Nanako felt a little dazed. It was obvious that she had only stayed in the detention center for two weeks, but it seemed that she hadn't worn such normal casual clothes for a long time, but she looked like this. It was the familiar image of herself in the mirror again.

This kind of cognition made her feel a little disconnected, as if occasionally when she finished school at 03:30 in the afternoon, she was walking back to the detective agency with her schoolbag on her back, looking at the bright sky in the afternoon, subconsciously she would appear again It seems to be the idea of ​​"skipping class" - because in the past, when she finished school, it should be five or six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was setting at dusk.

Being held by police officer Aoki, Nanako followed her and walked out of the gate of the detention center. On the electronic screen in the hall behind her, the time displayed was only [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

The autumn is crisp and clear, and the clear blue sky in the afternoon is vast and far away, high and high, giving people a feeling of being out of reach.The bright sun hung in the sky, and the sunlight fell on the earth, illuminating the city.It's been a long time since I've seen the sun, and Nanako's retinas haven't been able to adapt to such strong light, making Nanako's eyes feel a little sore and swollen, with a little physiological tears overflowing, and some things she can't see clearly.

She blinked her eyes several times uncomfortably, raised her hands and rubbed her eyes, trying to lower her head to avoid the sun's light, but in the blurred and hazy vision, a little familiar color appeared.

A little brown hat, a small piece of brown cloak, a white shirt, a purple striped tie, the same brown wide-leg pants, white socks and black leather shoes, the tree standing at the gate of the detention center is already covered with Under the persimmon tree that has ripened persimmons, it looks like several colors painted on a painting board, blending together.

Nanako lowered her hands and stood motionless in front of the gate of the detention center. Those dark eyes with no light at all were like ashes left after a sapling was burned, without any life, just like her face. The expression is the same, no emotion can be seen.

"Father." She opened her mouth and called dryly, her voice was very soft, as light as a small ball of cotton wool.

The sunlight was too bright, and Nanako still felt that her eyes were very uncomfortable, as if covered by a layer of fog, so blurred that she couldn't see her father's face clearly.

She could only see her father standing under the tree walking in front of her with big strides, the small cloak on his shoulders rose up a little with the movement of walking, and when he stopped, it fell obediently under the action of gravity Go down and hang down on him.

Luanbu raised his hand, pressed it on her small head, rubbed it vigorously several times, and messed up her freshly combed hair, just like himself, turning into a messy hair. brunette.

"...don't cry anymore." Luanbu said, his tone didn't rise lazily like usual, but it was rare, like the cloak on his shoulders, it fell down obediently, "Dad will take you back home."

Nanako grabbed his little cloak, sniffed her nose, and let out a small "hmm".
