两人漫步在清晨的集市上。很多商贩还没有出摊，晨雾还没完全散去，太阳也只隐蔽在其后。
常斐然停在一份烤肉摊前挪不动步。
他看向Pukia。
Pukia给他买了一份儿。店主把肉夹在面包里，做成三明治递给他。
只用几分钟的空他就一扫而光。
Pukia：“See, I don't hold grudges. After how you treated me, still.（你看我，一点儿都不记仇。你那样对我，我还对你这么好。）”
常斐然没有回答，只是敷衍地点了点头。他的注意力在迎面走来的一对老夫妻身上——一开始他们只是以一种不可思议的目光盯着Pukia，后来在互相耳语了几句后，疾步走向她。
Pukia也注意到了他们，但只目不斜视地往前走，全当没看见，直到两个老人完全堵住了她的去路。
她这才把眼光转向他们，好像才注意到一样一副惊喜的表情，满脸堆笑。
Pukia：“Oh my, what a coincidence! Good morning, Professors Beige!（天啊，多巧！早上好，Beige教授们！）”
她的声音亢奋得十分刻意。
Ms. Beige：“Good morning! Nice to see you out! Is it back to normal? Did Edward emancipate you? Where is he now?（早上好！很高兴看到你出来了！一切恢复正常了吗？Edward放你们出来了？他现在在哪？）”
Pukia：“He never locked us down.（他没有不让我们出来过。）”
她尴尬地笑笑。
Mr. Beige：“So what exactly is going on? Did he finally disband the group? You studied psychology under him, so you are technically my student, too. You of all people should know this is wrong! This is completely unethical! Psychology is a science, and it should be treated and applied as a science! It’s the first thing taught in class. He was once my star student. I cannot believe he ended up doing this! He has brought nothing but shame on me!（所以现在是怎么一回事？你们解散了吗？你也是学心理的，算是我的徒孙。你应该知道这是不对的！这是有违道德的！心理是一门科学就应该被科学地对待、科学地使用！这是学习的第一课。他是我最得意的门生，我真是不敢相信他竟然会做这样的事！让我为他蒙羞！）”
Pukia：“Dr. Beige, you’ve got it all wrong. We are helping people. This is just an extension, an innovation of psychology. You’ve always had this prejudice against us, like we’re out there hurting people. We provide food, clothes, and shelter for those who have nowhere else to go; they learn, they work, they find their inner peace there. We are saving them!（Dr. Beiger你们误会了。我们在帮助别人。这只是一种心理学的延伸和创新。您总是有这种偏见，好像我们是在害人一样。我们给走投无路的人提供吃、穿、住；他们在这里学习、工作、修心。我们是在拯救他们啊！）”
Mr. Beige：“You can save your breath. I know exactly what’s going on. You are using them, you are the exploiters! This whole thing—the Lord, the Guardian—it’s a complete farce, a bunch of cheap tricks! Look into your conscience.You think you can fool us? Where is Edward? I want to speak to him directly!（你不用在这里信口雌黄，我知道是怎么回事。你们在利用他们，你们是剥削者。什么月神、什么守护，都是骗人的把戏！做事要凭良心。你想骗我们年纪还太小！Edward在哪儿，我要直接跟他谈！）”
Pukia：“Dr. Bennett-”
Mr. Beige：“Don't call him 'Dr'. He doesn't deserve it. Now, where is he? Take us to him. I am responsible for my student, and I am responsible for these people, too.（别叫他‘博士’，他不配被叫“博士”。他现在在哪，你带我们过去。我要对我的学生负责任，我也得为这些人负责任。）”
Pukia：“I don't know, I don't know where he is.（我也不知道，我不知道他在哪儿。）”
