If there is another lizard. .

On one day of this depressive summer, I just set out to kill my teeth. I got out of the hospital and took a taxi home. I felt my right face, which was still unconscious under the effect of the anesthetic, and retracted into the sofa. The sun was no longer blocked. I became immersed in this quiet story.

Lonely man, lonely girl. Simple dialogue, calm picture. After closing the curtains, we started a cool fairy tale.

There was a lizard. One day it woke up and found that it was the last lizard in the world. It had no family, no friends, and was alone. So if there are no people who can speak in this world, what is the point of being alive?
So Kenji has been trying to commit suicide with different tools at various times and places. The rope-blade pistol takes turns in battle. Kenji is always serious and methodical in carrying out his suicide plan. The calm and calm attitude gave me the illusion that suicide is so graceful. But seeing Kenji's lonely expression, his heart sank again, sinking into the dark bottomless lake.

I have always believed that loneliness will bring great fear, like being swallowed by the thick black tide in an inexplicable night, the despair of suffocation is unimaginable. The lizard is very lonely, but it cannot even tell people such loneliness, because it is the last one. Then, even discussing the meaning of living has become meaningless. What a sad irony.

As a result, Kenji is always unable to continue thinking, or that he can't get the answers he already has. Until the wrong hand killed the brother and someone in the gang. Kenji is very helpless, he also thinks it is ridiculous, the thought of death is interrupted again, this is bliss is given to others. The lizards are still alone.

The girl's appearance is a small beam of light in the dark world. If Kenji and Noi on the bridge are still strangers, then when Noi is crying in Kenji's arms, the lizard sees his own shadow.
When a hopeless person sees a hint of warmth, it will be like a moth seeing the fire in the long night, without thinking or turning back. A trace of warmth can already become the sun. What does the language barrier have to do with it? When she was smoking a cigarette on the balcony to see him wearing a floral shirt to dry his clothes, when he sat obediently on one end of the sofa until she fell asleep on her lap, the language had lost its meaning. In the quiet air, in the dimly lit room, there are two tacit electric waves entwined into silent strands, and the cool and delicate sweetness unknowingly appears in the bowl, in the bathtub, and on the dock.

It's just being together silently, and the incomprehensible part is filled with smiles. It's enough for us to be together for a moment, dear. Enough?
You wanna see me again?
Yes
When?
One day. . .

Did he secretly hope for the last lizard in the world?

If there is another lizard in the world. . .

    It's really hard to accept such a style and rhythm, and every sound in it is so harsh and abrupt.
