那是在演出结束后的几天。工业联合体中的星座开始一个接一个地消失。我走过去看星座，在我大衣的胸前口袋里发现了两朵花。
“What is this?”
“这是什么?”
It was a pair of red cosmos and a lily. It wasn’t a very suitable combination… did the kids do it? I took care of the flowers and headed towards the square. Some constellations had already passed through the portal. Among those leaving were constellations who signed a special contract with the Kim Dokja’s Company nebula, including the old man in front of me.
那是一对秋英和一朵百合花。这不是一个非常合适的组合...是孩子们做的吗？我照顾好了花，然后朝广场走去。一些星座已经穿过了传送门。在那些离开的星座中，有与金道佳公司星云签订了特殊合同的星座，其中包括我面前的这位老人。
[It looks like you’re preparing for war. You don’t have to be so impatient.] “In the scenario, it is always war.”
看起来你在为战争做准备。你没必要这么没耐心“在这种情况下，总是战争。”
The Mass Production Maker chuckled at my words.
大规模生产制造商对我的话嗤之以鼻。
[Don’t be senseless. I want you to be different from the other constellations.]
[不要没有意义。我希望你和其他星座不同。]
“Thank you for the help.”
“谢谢你的帮助。”
I smiled and bowed my head. The Mass Production Maker opened the door of the car before stopping and looking at me. [There is one final thing I want to ask…]
我微笑着低下了头。大规模生产制造商打开车门，然后停下来看着我。[我还有最后一件事要问......]
“Yes. Feel free to ask.”
“是的，尽管问吧。”
The Mass Production Maker didn’t immediately ask the question. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette and mumbled. […Have you ever thought about what exactly ■■ is?]
大规模生产制造商没有立即提出这个问题。相反，他抽出一支烟，喃喃自语。你有没有想过■到底是什么
He turned on his lighter and touched the end of the cigarette to the flame. The Mass Production Maker sighed and blew out smoke before continuing.
他打开打火机，把烟头碰到火焰上。大规模生产制造商叹了口气，吐出了烟雾，然后继续。
[Is it the place we want to reach or the place destiny is leading us to? Is it a place, a life or a space?]
是我们想要到达的地方，还是命运带领我们到达的地方？它是一个地方，一个生命还是一个空间?]
Perhaps the Mass Production Maker had thought about this question countless times. Finally, he wouldn’t have found the answer.
也许这位大规模生产制造商已经无数次地思考过这个问题，最终，他不会找到答案。
“The certain thing is that it is the end of the story.”
“可以肯定的是，这就是故事的结局。”
[Sometimes I find your calmness amazing.]
[有时我发现你的平静令人惊讶。]
“I’m nervous as well.”
“我也很紧张。”
[I felt it at the time of the Gourmet Association but you’re not as good at lying as you think.]
(我在美食家协会的时候就感觉到了，但你并不像自己想象的那样善于撒谎。)
The Mass Production Maker laughed like a child.
大规模生产制造商笑得像个孩子。
[Then I’m asking you… is your ■■ really the ‘final chapter’?]
(然后我问你......你的■■真的是“最后一章”吗?)
The words broke through my guard. I reflexively shut my lips. The Mass Production Maker waited patiently for my answer. I finally opened my mouth once the Mass Production Maker’s cigarette was burned halfway through.
这些话冲破了我的防线。我条件反射地闭上了嘴。大规模生产制造商耐心地等待着我的回答。当大规模生产制造商的香烟烧到一半的时候，我终于开口了。
“I don’t know where the story will take me. However… I’m sure that the place I want to go is the final chapter.”
“我不知道这个故事会把我带到哪里去。但是......我确信我想去的地方是最后一章。”
He continued to listen after I finished. It was as if my story was still ongoing. Once the remaining cigarette had been burned, the Mass Production Maker laughed.
我讲完后，他继续听着。就好像我的故事还在继续。一旦剩下的香烟被点燃，大规模生产制造商大笑起来。
[I hope that I’m on the last page with you.]
我希望我能和你一起看到最后一页
“Go carefully, old man.”
“小心点，老家伙。”
[Be careful.]
小心点
There was a light engine sound and the Mass Production Maker’s car slipped into the portal. The other constellations also disappeared into the portal. The portal closed and ominous sparks filled the empty sky.
一阵轻微的引擎声，大规模生产制造商的汽车滑进了传送门。其他星座也消失在入口中。传送门关闭了，空旷的天空充满了不祥的火花。
I watched the sparks and touched the petals in my pocket. Now the remaining time was three days. Soon, the most important story of the industrial complex would begin.
我看着火花，触摸着口袋里的花瓣。现在剩下的时间是三天。很快，工业联合体最重要的故事就要开始了。
