I would like to ask them, C<a&]dN/
if they can remember - &?QKWxN
perhaps in a revolving door IxWi>8
face to face one day? Gq1C"s$4'
A "sorry" in the crowd? <ndY6n3
"Wrong number" on the phone? J)Yz@0#T(;
- but I know the answer. Hfj.8$
No, they don't remember. nt>3 i! l

another hand was placed; (g[WZB3x

他们都以为 d7X7_
是那瞬间的感觉 mg._ c
将他们结合在一起 PS!or!m

是否记得在某个回转门 hDg"?{
那个面对面的瞬间? `DGI|3
