Daydream Theatre - C40
Thus, in an instant, the statue-like, motionless humans outside regained their mobility, as though I had suddenly pressed down on a playback button that belonged to the entire world.
The director told me, “Latimer, everyone wants to know the reason behind her decision to close the Time Field.”
“Oh? Are there still people watching the show? ”
“Hmm, you have to know that our live broadcast only lasted 30 minutes.”
“Damn it!” I cursed in my heart. “You have to know, I have been accompanying this boring mother and daughter along with some mysterious master of the soul for over 10 hours!”
“But we don’t broadcast the Robot Theater anymore.”
“Yeah, but we’ll be interjecting some information on that side.”
“Is that so? “Just what exactly is happening over there …” Maybe it’s because I meditated for a bit, but my mind calmed down a little. I wanted to know what happened to Tomoko.
“Hur hur, you’ll see the results when the live broadcast ends.”
I had no choice but to ask Ms White this question, but it was clear that she did not want to answer: “Ms White, ah, I saw that you and you had only been together in the Time Capsule for about ten hours, why did you close so quickly? “According to the agreement, you can only stay inside for up to sixty hours.”
White did not answer me. Instead, she stood in front of her and said, “She has her own things to do and needs to prepare many things.
It was obvious that she did not know where her daughter was going, but from her tone, it was obvious that she was very supportive.
“Yes, no matter what, I must thank you for your support!” White hugged her mother tightly. Although her back was facing me, I could still see her back moving up and down … Could it be that this person who lived in rational thought and parallel universes was suddenly sobbing?
I didn’t know what to do, and continued to ask Miranda: “Looks like you two got along really well.”
“Of course,” his mother said proudly. “We watched a lot of movies we liked and talked about a lot of things that happened in the past. We were really happy and really grateful for the opportunity that your program gave us.”
“Mom …” Now that White had left her mother’s embrace, she should be looking at him closely, “Please don’t speak up for me anymore.”
Speaking for her? What do you mean?
When she turned around, I saw that she gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, “Mr Latimer, I think I was wrong. I have deceived you and all the audience. ”
“Deceit? “Where did this come from?”
“I feel that I owe my mother … So… But who would have thought that they would not even be able to persevere for sixty hours. ”
“You mean?” “Are you saying that the time we shared just now was not wonderful?”
She nodded, and just as Miranda wanted to say something, she was stopped by his daughter: “Mother, listen carefully, I am saying these words for you. Over the years, I’ve been busy with my own business, putting too much energy into my own interests. Until she was accepted by the Castari … It occurred to me that I might lose you forever. But… But… After weighing the pros and cons, I actually realized that I was unable to reject Castari’s invitation. Of course, I love you from the bottom of my heart, Mom! But I… “But I …”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her mother stroked her head and whispered, “Okay, okay, I know, stop it, I know.”
“No, you have to listen to me.” The Ms White didn’t seem to care that we were still broadcasting live, “I deeply feel that I owe you, so I want to compensate you through this episode. Of course I don’t like those movies, and I don’t know what you like. What’s even more despicable is that I hope to act like a good girl in front of the entire audience during a live broadcast! How shameless I am! “In the end, this is not a compensation to you, but a cover up your own sins.”
“What crime do you have?”
“I admit that I did not understand your world, and I tried, but I could not fall in love. This might be the reason why I want to enter Castari. There is my favorite science there, the brilliant tomorrow that I hope for. ”
I have to say that what the Ms White said was right, there is indeed an insurmountable barrier between the two of them, and it isn’t something that could be broken by just one or two days of company. No matter how much one pretends to love each other, only everyone knows their own grievances.
“I’m not good either, I’m not good either …” Mom was also on the verge of tears. “I don’t understand you, daughter. I don’t know what you usually like. I also want to find out, but …”
They looked at each other for a long time before they burst out laughing. Of course, Miranda was unable to understand what kind of parallel universe her daughter was researching, and of course White was not interested in her mother’s < < Palpitating Heart > >. However, there was nothing shameful about that. After all, people were different from one another, not to mention that there was such a large age gap between them.
What was truly tiring was pretending to understand even if one didn’t know, just like how they had to pretend to understand after spending more than ten hours in the Time Capsule. Although White felt uncomfortable, but Miranda was also unhappy. Although it was to watch a movie that she liked, but if the person watching it with him was not willing to share with you, would you still be happy? Even if this person was his own daughter.
The reason why White went back on her words is also related to me. It was precisely because the mother and daughter pair had an indifferent relationship — they might seem okay on the surface, but the two of them did not understand each other — thus, White was even more eager to prove her love for her mother before going to Castari. She chose to broadcast live, hoping to prove this point in front of everyone.
However, the sudden turn of events in the Miss Tomoko had nearly robbed her of her only remaining chance. Of course, she felt that it was extremely baffling, and so she made this decision at the last moment: What does Tomoko’s matter have to do with me? If the Time Capsule were to be taken away, I would never be able to prove this point.
In the Ms White’s heart, it was very important to prove this point in front of everyone, so much that it was even more important than whether or not his true love for his mother existed!
Fortunately, after more than ten hours of torture, she finally understood this mistake.
“You are not wrong, daughter,” Miranda continued to console her. “In the eyes of every mother, no matter what their daughter does, as long as she truly likes it, then mother will be very happy.”
That’s right! Actually, White didn’t need to do anything for his mother. If she could happily live her own life, mother would have no other requests. This is the only thing that two generations of people with great gaps can do, and I don’t know if it’s the tragedy of our time or the greatness of motherly love.
From the looks of it, this live broadcast did not end up with nothing! At the very least, everyone who watched the live broadcast might be thinking about this: Does true love have to be understood? If they really could not enter the world of their loved one, then how could they continue supporting each other? Are the young people who indulge in the virtual world in our time really unable to communicate with the older generation?
Should we adapt to the times and accept this? Or was it like what the Ms White was doing, trying hard to cultivate the relationship between the two generations? Could this really be possible? Is it possible that someday in the future people will lose all sense of family and kinship? In an increasingly technologically advanced society, is it really true that relationships are no longer important? Should these old men leave the scene?
It’s obviously a big problem, and I’m afraid to say what I think, so I just end up like, “Aha, that’s a great ending. The Ms White was about to realize her dream, and Lady Miranda had also received her daughter’s most sincere love. So what are you waiting for? Now tell your needs to the “daydream theater”! As long as we give you some time, our Eloi will be able to fulfill all of your wishes. ”
When White and her daughter were still consoling each other, the director told me, “If you want to see the ending of the Robot Theater, please don’t take off your sunglasses. I will show you the scene on the screen.”
I found a chair and sat down, afraid that I would faint at the sight of some terrible scene. However, the director sounded very calm, could it be that…
