He would only write to one person,
his mother.
His mother wanted him to be a revolutionary, and
his mother's hope was also his hope.

After escaping from death again and again,
he is always throwing himself into new dangers.
He has never been afraid of the plague. He
doesn't know if he is not afraid of death or can't wait to die, in
order to make his mother feel proud.

After being stricken by the irrational residents of the epidemic area, he
walked on the roof for a whole day in order to escape his life,
accompanied by a kitten
whose owner had died, but what he said to the kitten was his mother.

Except for the determined and wise mother,
there is no other woman he loves.

When she was sixteen, she took care of an unknown patient.
Later, she married that person and became a countess.
Her husband was the owner of a territory but was a few dozen years older than her.
When she was young and beautiful The husband is already grey.

The terrible plague prevailed in this land, the
nobles fled hurriedly, the
civilians died in groups, and
some empty cities were littered with corpses.

When he sneaked into her house through the roof window and met her,
the first thing he said was: Don't be afraid, I am not a bad person.
She answered: Why am I afraid?
And took care of this man who was still upbred in panic. There is a contrast between

him and her
.
She is very similar to his mother,
but he and her husband are completely different.

In the disaster of the plague,
They have places where they are eager to go.
She wants to find her husband,
and he wants to see her mother.

When
he met again, he was unwilling to leave her,
even though she refused,
he still insisted on waiting,
and even changed the route of going back to see his mother,
and she gradually got used to it and
no longer resisted.

Facing the panic of death,
he knew she was scared,
so no matter how strong and independent she appeared,
he never left half a step.
She knows that he loves his mother deeply,
so no matter how scared she is, she has
to put on a face of rejection
so that he can go back early.

He fell in love with her, ignoring his life in an
unreasonable way
.
She also knew that he loved herself,
but in this troubled world,
he was too young and
she felt very slim.

That night,
on the eve of the separation,
she drank and
started to express,
but he was running away.
He just wanted to send her safely to her husband and
let her survive.

When feeling confused,
she went to hug him.
He kissed her hand and
pushed her away. When
she was most depressed, the
plague
broke out and she was about to die.

He exhausted all his strength,
Rubbing her body with alcohol,
he treated several people in this way,
but they all died.
And she survived,
she touched his face with a weak force,
but he bounced away all at once.

The next day,
he sent her back to her husband's territory.
A deep look
is the last look.

From then on,
she looked towards the north forever.
And he returned to his mother's trajectory and
devoted himself to the unpredictable revolution of life and death.

In the land where the plague spreads, love
can experience the test of life and death.
But what cannot be surpassed is
his own will.

The spiritual mother he loved has always existed,
but the spiritual son she sought has left.
