When the sight behind him disappeared, the boy ran away.

Running all the way.

The boy stopped at his doorstep.

He pressed his ear against the door.

Um...

No sound.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The boy opened the door and walked into the room.

When changing shoes at the entrance, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

The whole person was suddenly there.

One foot is slippers, the other foot is sneakers.

.....

He knew what the sanitation aunt was talking to 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 heard the sound he made while swinging.

When I saw myself alone, I wondered why I was so disturbed just now?

That's why he asked 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.

Always go to the park alone... and scream strangely...

...

If I hadn't known Jaw, the sanitation aunt's guess was not wrong.

He is a lonely person.

But with the crow, he is no longer alone.

Thinking of this, the boy unconsciously bent the corner of his mouth.

...

He will pay more attention next time.

The appearance of the sanitation aunt reminded the boy something he had always ignored.

The crow said too.

He is special.

So he saw the crow.

Others, such as sanitation aunts, cannot see the crows.

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

...

And what it means to become strange in the eyes of others...

He might not know it before, but now, after experiencing the rumors and changes in the surrounding environment after his father disappeared, he understands it.

Even though he still doesn't understand...

I don’t understand why... Dad is gone... The saddest and saddest one is clearly him and his mother, why not only did they not receive comfort... but they received more criticism and hurt?

He has had injustice and grievances.

certainly.

This injustice and grievance remained in his heart.

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

The scars are still there.

But he learned to ignore and forget.

...

When boys go to the park, they will pay attention to the surrounding situation.

You will also intentionally control your own volume.

However, that park is equivalent to an abandoned park.

Very few people went there.

The maple tree where the crow is located is relatively remote.

In the next few times, he didn't even meet the sanitation aunt again.

...

The boy gradually relaxed his vigilance.

On Saturday when my mother went to work, even as winter approached and the weather became colder, the boy still got up as her mother got up.

Mom couldn't help but sigh again: Other children like to sleep in, especially in winter, the warm bed is fatal attraction to everyone.

Why do your own children not sleep in at all?

...

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

Looking at the child who waved goodbye to her, the mother suddenly became a little dazed.

When will it start...

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

Every time she came back from get off work and pushed open the door, she would not surprise her child who was grinning at her.

She once said how many times the child was.

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

no need.

It's just that the child doesn't listen.

If she looked serious, the child's disappointed and depressed look would make her unable to bear it.

Later she liked this child.

It’s good that the child doesn’t feel troublesome.

At first she felt a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but after a long time, she became accustomed to it.

If the child doesn't show up in the entrance one day, she probably feels 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...the child also changed...

She knows...

It was because she didn't give the child enough sense of security.

She originally wanted to talk to the child.

I feel it is unnecessary.

Over time, children will naturally feel safe.

A sense of security is never given by words.
