When the sight behind him disappeared, the boy started running.

Running wildly all the way.

The boy stopped at the door of his house.

He put his ear to the door.

Well……

There is no sound.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The boy opened the door and walked into the house.

While changing his shoes at the entrance, an idea flashed in his mind.

The whole person paused there.

One foot is a slipper and one foot is a sneaker.

…..

He knew what the sanitation aunt was telling him just now.

The boy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

I am happy that I have solved a "mystery".

…

The sanitation aunt must have heard the sound he made while swinging.

Seeing myself alone, I wondered why I made so much noise just now.

That's why I asked him so many questions.

…..

The boy changed his shoes and walked into the living room.

He carefully recalled what the sanitation aunt asked him.

He found……

He was probably a lonely child in the eyes of the sanitation aunt.

I always go to the park alone...and make strange yells...

…

If she didn't know Crow Crow, the sanitation aunt's guess was not wrong.

He is a lonely person.

But with Crow Crow, he is no longer alone.

Thinking of this, the boy unconsciously curled up his mouth.

…

He should pay more attention next time.

The appearance of the sanitation aunt reminded the boy something that he had ignored all this time.

Crow Crow also said it.

He is special.

So he saw the crow.

Others, like the sanitation aunt, cannot see Crow Crow.

Then some of his words and deeds will become very strange in their eyes.

…

And what it means to be weird in the eyes of others…

He might not have known it before, but now, after experiencing the rumors and the earth-shaking changes in his surroundings after his father disappeared, he understands.

Even if he still doesn't quite understand...

I don’t understand why... Dad is gone... The saddest and saddest people are obviously him and his mother. Why not only did they not get comfort... but they got more criticism and hurt?

He has had injustices and grievances.

certainly.

This injustice and grievance still remained in his heart.

But because of his mother and Crow Crow, he gradually felt relieved.

The scars are still there.

But he learned to ignore and forget.

…

The boy will pay attention to his surroundings when he goes to the park.

He also consciously controls his volume.

It's just that that park is equivalent to an abandoned park.

Very few people go.

The maple tree where Crow Crow is located is relatively remote.

The next few times, he and even the serial guard aunt never met again.

…

The boy gradually relaxed his vigilance.

On Saturday when his mother was at work, even though the weather was getting colder as winter approached, the boy still got up when his mother got up.

Mom couldn't help but sigh again: Children all like to sleep in, especially in winter, and a warm quilt has a fatal attraction for everyone.

Why doesn't my child sleep in at all?

…

The boy had breakfast with his mother and sent her to the entrance.

Looking at the children waving goodbye to her, the mother suddenly felt a little dazed.

Since when...

She has become accustomed to this child waving to her at the entrance every time she goes out...

And every time she came back from get off work and opened the door, she was not surprised to see the child grinning at her.

She had spoken about the child several times.

She doesn't need her children to come to the door to see her off or wait for her every time.

no need.

It’s just that the kids didn’t listen.

If she looked serious, she would not be able to bear the child's disappointed look.

Later, she followed the child's liking.

As long as the children don't find it troublesome.

At first she felt a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but over time, she got used to it.

If one day the child no longer appears in the entrance hall, she will probably still feel like something is missing, right?

…

Moreover, she vaguely guessed the reason why the child did this.

Children in the past did not have such a habit...

After something happened at home, she changed... and so did her children...

she knows……

It's because she didn't give her child enough sense of security.

She originally wanted to talk to the child.

I don't think it's necessary.

Over time, the child will naturally feel safe.

A sense of security can never be given through words.
