8

Perhaps the departure of an adult can be dignified.

But I have always been a child.

Just as I don't like those things that people assume adults would like.

So I am not willing to leave any dignity for others.

I left the city where I had lived for over twenty years.

The direct way to avoid any entanglements with a person is to change all your contact information and leave quietly.

No one will be able to find me.

Before this, I told my mother.

My mother's eyes were filled with sorrow.

But she gently stroked my hair.

She did not stop me.

Instead, she told me, "If this is what you want, then go ahead."

"Don't have any worries."

"I will always bless your rebirth."

My tears mingled with my mother's hair; if I could have been entrusted to my mother back then, maybe everything would have been different.

But the law is ruthless.

I have never resented the law, as it is the existence of law that has protected many children.

But I still feel sad.
