After the Flower Murder case came to an end, Aaliyah found herself developing a physical aversion to raw meat and flowers.

This made it impossible for her to go to the restaurant to enjoy a good meal, and she also ate vegetarian food for several days at home like an ascetic.

Of course, more of her day is baking cookies.However, things are a bit different from usual. She often starts to be in a daze when she reaches a certain step.When she realized it, she suddenly realized that she was actually not that irritable—she was just a little dazed.

The result of this is usually that she does not put the biscuit in the oven after she kneads the prototype of the biscuit.at last.He took pieces of dough and piled them up like a child.

Haley came once with Jack.Aaliyah thanked the angelic mother and son, even though she hadn't said anything, hadn't even sent an invitation, but they came.

Although Jack made a mess of her house, since she didn't bother to clean up these days, yes, the culprit was actually her. Haley put all the dough she had destroyed in the oven and made enough for her to gnaw on it without sleep for a week.

At this time, Aliya finally started to party.

Fortunately, she finally remembered the knitted cardigan she treasured in a corner.So, over the next few days, she found a reason for herself to go outside — giving away extra cookies to these lovely people like a Santa Claus.

During the period, Sarah, Owen, and even the great Professor Phelan called to greet her.This feeling is a bit strange to Alia. If she had to use one word to describe it, it would probably be "flattered"-this kind of emotion almost only experienced in her previous life.

She suddenly discovered that after the death of Williams and his wife, she was not an isolated island as she thought, and there were still people who would care about her.

With this in mind, she finally sorted out her emotions and attended Mrs. Keira Clark's funeral.

Mr. Clark used to hate her very much. When he came out of the interrogation room, he looked at her with obvious hatred.But after going through those things, Mr. Clark realized that he had made a small mistake, so he regarded Alia as an important friend of Keira and invited her to attend the funeral.

In view of the religious identities of both parties, the memorial service will be held in the church.The pious pastor declared that God did not abandon Kayla, because at this moment she had already thrown herself into the arms of the great Lord.Mr. Clark hugged his daughter with wet eyes, and there was no crying or breast-beating the whole time, but enough was enough.

Aliya was in the same car with them, and Clarke kept holding her hand after getting in the car, but the good girl didn't say anything, just pouted silently.

The police on motorcycles were at the forefront, clearing the way for the coffin truck, followed by a long convoy.When passing cars see them, they will pull aside to show their friendliness and respect for the dead.

Today's weather is surprisingly good, the storm passed yesterday, washing the sky very blue.Alicia held Miss Clark in her arms, and looked sideways out of the window.

This is not the first time she has attended a funeral.

The first funeral she attended was supposed to be that of her dear adoptive parents.But she didn't even have time to see them for the last time, so she could only take back the urn and choose a resting place for them.

It was also that time that she truly realized that she could not live in this world as she wanted—she had neither the ability nor the right.Since then, she put away her ignorance and fearlessness, and retreated back into her own world.

Arrived at the cemetery.Keira's coffin has been carried from the car to a special shelf in the cemetery.Everyone was also given a white rose in their hands.

Arya hesitated, but quickly took the flower—although she emptied all of them when she got home, this one wasn't going to work.She knew that she hated flowers because of the murdered life, but she should also respect these flowers for the murdered life. In the final analysis, they are also innocent.

Mr Clarke began the eulogy, trying to put a smile on his face - at first, he did.He didn't make a long story about the fame of the deceased, but instead recalled some small stories about Keira, including how he met this woman, how he pursued her, how happy he was when he gave birth to the crystallization of their love ...

The corners of Aaliyah's eyes get wet, and these things are funny, but it's still sad to think that the "perfect" woman is gone.

When her eyes moved to the coffin, a series of images involuntarily appeared in her mind.In fact, when Keira was dismembered, she couldn't see very clearly because of the angle, because tears blurred her eyes, and...she had a headache, as if something was about to break out of her shell.

It seemed that something very important prevented her from concentrating on what was in front of her—maybe it was the brain's self-protection measures?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to think about it.

Suddenly, her hand was shaken, and Aliya looked down at the little girl with tears in her eyes.

Little Clark looked at the coffin directly in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and asked her in a low voice: "Dad told me that Mom went to a better place and won't be coming back for a while. Does she want us?"

Alicia choked.Need her to say that Kayla went to a place where there is no disease or pain like that pastor, or something that she turned into a star and guarded you forever in the sky?

There seems to be such a little girl in my memory, about the same age as little Clark, maybe a little smaller.She has ink-like black hair and black eyes, and she is watching the coffin in front of her go into the ground with a dumbfounded expression of pain.

But Aliya knew it wasn't true, she was just hurt by the scene.

"It will be fine." Aliya squatted down and hugged her, "Baby, you still have Daddy, you are his angel. Please try to protect him, okay?"

Little Clark nodded half-understanding. She put her chubby hand on Arya's neck and put her chin on her shoulder.

After Mr. Clark's eulogy was finished, he retreated to them and silently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes.People around went up one by one to offer flowers.

Arya returned little Clark to her father, and went forward with the white rose.

The black coffin, the snow-white flowers.

[Goodbye, Kayla.You are you, I am me, and despite all our similarities, we are two separate beings. 】Put the flowers up solemnly, and she meditated silently in her heart.

She finally figured out her blind spot - Keira's success made her unconsciously insert herself into Keira's life.Kayla died, however, and she immediately lost her waypoint.

But it's not. Keira's death was just an accident. This cannot deny her hard work, her struggle and struggle.In any case, Kayla is someone who deserves her respect.As for Alia herself, she will always work hard to live out her own life.

Yes, she figured it out, and finally she could get out of that fog and see the blue sky above it.

When leaving the cemetery, Aliya was thinking with her head down, maybe she could make a good meal when she got home to cheer herself up.

Halfway through, she seemed to feel something.Looking up, she was surprised to see Reid waiting for her with a pocket under the tree.

Even though he didn't say anything, Aliya knew he was waiting for her.

The weather in October was already a bit cold, so he put on a purple scarf loosely and dark trousers on his lower body.Noticing her approach, he turned to face her.Although it looks a bit flimsy, it makes people feel as tall as a mountain.

"Are you on vacation today?" Aliya subconsciously quickened her pace and ran towards him.

"Well, something happened, Elle got a little injury." Reid nodded, and after she followed, they walked out together.

"Is Elle injured?" Alia's heart skipped a beat, as she remembered the case of the Fisherman King.Before, she had been immersed in her own world, and the time was not in line with CM's episodes, so she completely forgot about it.

"Just a little bruise. The inmate sneaked into her apartment and tried to attack her, but Elle reacted in time and wounded him. We eventually tracked down his hideout, rescued his daughter, and the case closed quickly. It's gone." Reid didn't expect Aliya to have such a big reaction, so he could only swallow back the words he was about to say.

"That's good." Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.Was it because of her arrival that Butterfly changed some things?

So, how will cm develop in the future?She couldn't guess it either... However, it's good that Elle is fine.Yes, it's fine.

When Aliya began to immerse herself in her thoughts again, she suddenly heard Reid say——

"I have killed people." Realizing that what he said was a bit ambiguous, Reid immediately corrected, "I mean, that was when I was performing official duties."

"I understand." Alicia smiled and walked beside him.Although she didn't know why he said this suddenly, she could feel the sincerity of the other party.This feeling of being tried to be comforted by others, plus the fact that the object is someone I like, is really good.

"It was a long-distance serial murder case. We speculated that the culprit was a 'heroic murderer'. He hurt them in order to save them again. Later, H and I were taken as hostages. I took the opportunity to take out the hotch and hide it in the A gun near the ankle, shooting at the prisoner."

"Originally, I aimed at his leg. In fact, I shot his head." When he spoke, his eyes looked ahead, "I didn't think about killing him, but I did. , and for the first time."

"Afterwards, I had a period of time where my mind went blank and I didn't feel anything. I mean I should have felt it because it was the first time I killed someone and it was a real person and I let He became a cold corpse. I even wondered if there was something wrong with me."

At this time, he stopped and looked at Alicia: "But tell me, the difference between knowing what you feel and not feeling anything is that the former will make you suffer. And when that happens You just need to remember three things: you did what you were supposed to do, and there are a lot of good people who survived because of what you did, and . . . I'm so proud of you."

"And Arya, I want to say..."

Aliya, who was called, looked up at him.

"Witnessing Keira's death makes you sad, but it's just an experience in your life. She is dead, and the murderer has been punished. You did what you should do, protected yourself, and protected jj, let Things are going in a good direction.”

"Did you tell me that?" Aliya was a little dumbfounded.At least most of these words, she didn't think it came from Reid's tone.

The little doctor turned his head in embarrassment, but as if he had thought of something, he turned back slightly, but he didn't dare to look at her:

"I want to say, I'm also...proud of you."

"R, thank you." Reid finally turned his head, he saw Alicia winking at him mischievously, "Also, I'm sorry, I shouldn't tease you."

She finally understood why Reid would tell her about his first murder.Like the scene where she saw Keira being dismembered, she shed tears and was sad, but was quickly distracted by what happened to Ashley.However, after everything was over, she began to feel lost.

Maybe Reid didn't feel nothing at all, if he really didn't, he wouldn't bother with it.That's why he said those words to him, and his intention was the same as what he said to her now - he sensed the dark tide in her peaceful heart.

She raised her head and looked at Reid's profile.His dark circles are a bit heavy, as if it has always been like this, hasn't he had a good rest?

She remembered something again, if the plot of CM had not changed, would he have become addicted to drugs later? ... Will there be a girlfriend?

Hope not.They took a lot of cases that the original show didn't take. What happened to Elle shows that things have changed and everything will be fine.

As for girlfriends.Regardless of whether Maeve will appear in a few years, with her around, no other woman will be given a chance.

Reid probably couldn't stand being stared at by Aliya's hot gaze, so he turned his head to look at her.At this moment, Alia is preparing to confess her courage.

"I..." However, she finally choked out a note, and was forced to swallow her words - her cell phone rang at this very unfortunate moment.

"Hey, you little bitch, guess where I am now?" Miss Sarah's extremely cheerful voice almost pierced her eardrums.

Alicia looked at Reid in embarrassment, who nodded politely and took a few steps back.

The noise in the earpiece was so loud that she could guess it with her toes—Sarah must have been screaming with the earphones on while speeding the car, and she always liked this kind of pleasure.

"Hahahaha, I've crossed the Virginia state line. Clean up the house and wait..." The voice of the conversation stopped abruptly, followed by a screeching sound of brakes.

"Sarah, what happened?" Aliya's heart suddenly rose.

"Alia, I seem...I seem to have hit someone." After changing her previous madness, Sarah was so frightened that her voice trembled, "Oh my God, there are not many cars on this road, why did someone suddenly jump out No... No, I'll get out of the car and have a look first."

"Wait, Sarah, you first..." Before Aliya could finish speaking, Sarah on the other end hurriedly hung up the phone.

She turned to look at Reid.For some reason, her left eyelid was twitching wildly.This... seems to be an ominous sign.
