看着楼钟上的少年，他穿过人群，小心翼翼地靠近少年，尽量让自己的声音听起来温和：“Brother, don't be hasty. Let's come down and talk things over slowly.”（兄弟，先别冲动，有什么事儿咱们下来慢慢说。）
少年转过头，满脸泪痕：“What's there to talk about? You won't understand. I've lost everything. I loved him with all my heart and soul, made him the center of my life, but he left me. So what's the point of me staying alive?（聊什么？你不会懂的，我什么都没有了，我全心全意地爱他，把他当成生命的全部，可他离开我了，那我活着还有什么意义？）”
华誉逢微微皱眉：“Maybe I understand, maybe I don't. But I do know that love is never the only answer in life. You feel that losing him now makes everything meaningless, but that's just a temporary feeling. Life is a long journey filled with countless possibilities.（我或许懂，或许不懂。但我知道，爱从来不是人生的唯一答案。你觉得此刻失去了他，一切都没了意义，可这只是当下的感受。人生漫漫，充满了无数的可能性。）”
少年苦笑着摇头：“Possibilities? You don't understand at all. I gave so much of my affection, but ended up with this kind of result. Is this fair? It's not fair!!（可能性？你根本不明白，我付出了那么多感情，却得到这样一个结果，这公平吗？这不公平！！）”
华誉逢缓缓走近一步，目光真诚地看着少年：“Fairness? There's no absolute fairness in life, especially when it comes to feelings. It's not a trade; giving doesn't necessarily guarantee an immediate equal return. But that doesn't mean your efforts are worthless.（公平？生活本来就没有绝对的公平。感情这件事更是如此，它不是交易，付出并不一定就能立刻得到同等的回报。但这并不意味着你的付出是没有价值的。）”
爱，在他看来，不过是人的众多情绪之一罢了。
“Human beings, these complex creatures, are full of contradictions, and their emotions are extremely fickle. One moment they can be carried away by passion because of something or someone, and the next moment they can part ways over a trivial matter. The boundaries of feelings are always so blurred in the face of reality that it's hard to tell what's true, false, right, or wrong。”
“I understand that feeling. Once I also thought that love should be straightforward, either you get it or you give it up. But later I realized that feelings are far from being that simple and pure. Just like when I like someone, even though I know there may be no outcome, I still can't let it go. But even so, I never considered giving up my life."（我明白那种感觉，曾经我也以为爱就该清清楚楚，要么得到，要么放弃。可是后来我才发现，感情哪有那么简单纯粹。就像我喜欢一个人，明知道可能没结果，可心里还是放不下。但即便如此，我也没想过要放弃自己的生活。）
少年疑惑地看着华誉逢： “So what? In the end, it's still just pain."（那又怎么样？最后还不是痛苦。）
华誉逢笑着，朝他举起了酒杯，琥珀色的液体在杯中荡漾，映着微弱的光：“Pain is indeed inevitable, but it's also a part of life. Whose life can be completely smooth without going through these setbacks? If you jump now, just think, what if you meet the right person in the future? Won't you miss out?（痛苦是肯定的，但这也是生活的一部分啊。谁的人生能一帆风顺，没有经历过这些挫折呢？你要是就这么跳下去了，你想想，以后万一遇到真正合适的人，你岂不是错过了？）”
少年双眼通红，情绪激动地大声吼道：“I want him!"（我就要他！）”
华誉逢神色平静，只是轻轻挑了挑眉头，目光直视着少年，语气沉稳：“If you jump, where are you going to get him? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"（那你跳了，从哪儿要？这不是妄想吗？）
少年闻言，原本坚定的眼神变得有些犹豫，不由自主地看向华誉逢。
“I'm glad I'm alive and can still continue to love the people I want to love. What about you?"（我庆幸我活着，我还可以接着去爱我想爱的人，那你呢？）华誉逢微微仰头，目光扫视着周围来来往往的人群，提高音量： "Look at the world. There are over seven billion people. Among such a huge number of people, can't you find another person who can make your heart flutter and is worthy of your love? Don't you even plan to try to look for them? Are you giving up on searching?"（你看看这世上，足足有70多亿人。这么庞大的人群里，难道就找不出另一个能让你心动、值得你去爱的人？你难道连尝试去寻找的打算都没有了吗？不准备去找了？）
少年紧咬着嘴唇，下唇都被咬得泛白，许久之后，才声音低落地嗫嚅道：“I... I don't know if I still have the courage.（我……我不知道自己还有没有勇气。）
华誉逢浮现出温和的笑容：“Courage isn't something you're born with. It grows gradually through repeated self-breakthroughs. But the fact that you're standing here today is already a form of courage."
