Mandy自从和老朋友们重新见面后,整个人陷入了一种迷幻状态,似乎她虽然在这个世界上好好地活着,但似乎有一半魂魄留在了某个遥远的,偏僻的,古早的,隔离的,陌生的,熟悉的时空里。</p>
洛可嘉第一个察觉到她的迷离疑惑,似乎她总是在问,“我是谁”、“我为什么在这里”、“这是哪里”、“这些人都是哪来的”、“原来的我呢?”</p>
走丢了……</p>
她的每一个微笑都在说,“我好困惑”、“我错了吗”、“我怎么办”……</p>
在孙先生拜访后第二天,Mandy摔了Nichole心爱的大熊猫勺子,第三天她忘了去接Oscar放学,第四天她忘了烧饭,那两天洛妈和洛老爹由热旺陪着去费城玩儿了。</p>
洛可嘉忍无可忍,决定跟Mandy好好谈谈。</p>
