mandy自从和老朋友们重新见面后，整个人陷入了一种迷幻状态，似乎她虽然在这个世界上好好地活着，但似乎有一半魂魄留在了某个遥远的，偏僻的，古早的，隔离的，陌生的，熟悉的时空里。

    洛可嘉第一个察觉到她的迷离疑惑，似乎她总是在问，“我是谁”、“我为什么在这里”、“这是哪里”、“这些人都是哪来的”、“原来的我呢？”

    走丢了……

    她的每一个微笑都在说，“我好困惑”、“我错了吗”、“我怎么办”……

    在孙先生拜访后第二天，mandy摔了Nichole心爱的大熊猫勺子，第三天她忘了去接oscar放学，第四天她忘了烧饭，那两天洛妈和洛老爹由热旺陪着去费城玩儿了。

    洛可嘉忍无可忍，决定跟mandy好好谈谈。
