Kapitel 35: C35: Illness
The whole game is presented through a series of flashbacks, a method very familiar to all players.
Our hearts are full of doubts, and time continues to move backward in the life of Johnny and River.
It was the night before River married Johnny.
They were both in wedding dresses, He was dressed like a prince while she was dressed in a white gown under the moonlit night, she looked like a blooming lotus. They were leaning against the lighthouse gazing at the moon, and conversing.
On that night, It ensured that the lighthouse finally had a name – Anya.
Under the moonlight, River and Johnny stood by the lighthouse. The light reflected on their shadows stretching along the wall.
Under the soft glow of the sea, which was whispering some melodies. Johnny took River's hand and taught her how to dance.
From night till dawn, the soothing melodies flowed, and Cricket echoed perfectly in sync with our dance.
The whole atmosphere was rich with romance.
A bunch of wedding congratulations were flooding my chat.
````````````````````````````````````````````
"What a heartfelt night?"
(⌒▽⌒)☆
"A lovely night"

"Dong Zhen will you stream your wedding"

The graphics are not the best. But the mixture of music and atmosphere made this scene incredibly beautiful and romantic.
"Wow, they danced all night!" I couldn't help but feel moved by the atmosphere.
At that moment, any lingering doubts in my heart were set aside, because the game made me, as a player, feel romantic. Very few games have the power to do it.
The next day, in front of the lighthouse Anya, which now had its name, River and Johnny were officially married.
On the way to the wedding, River noticed a small white rabbit that had been hit and killed. Her expression was a mixture of sadness and something else.
But Johnny didn't seem to notice. Today, he was loving every moment of his life.
"So, this may be the reason? This can explain why she has been making origami rabbits since then. But what's the connection?" I couldn't quite piece it together, but I knew it had some meaning.
Still, the plot continued to unfold.
Everyone at the wedding was happy, but some details caught my attention.
During the celebration, Johnny's mother called him by a different name.
Even Johnny's friend Nicholas seemed puzzled, questioning this unusual occurrence.
Johnny brushed it off, explaining that it was his grandfather's name and that his mother used "Joey" as his nickname.
"Joey? There's something important here," I thought, narrowing my eyes, still making connections between the various clues I have.
Time moves backward, moving us to River and Johnny's pre-marriage period. It was their love life.
I feel like a single dog. Well, singles' Day is coming. November 11, (111,1). Ok, we will have 2 bonus chapters on that day.
They enjoyed their time at the racecourse, riding horses, laughing, and playing together. The doctor had suggested that equestrian activities might help ease River's condition.
Like most couples in love, they shared moments of intimacy and joy.
Then, I finally learned the name of River's illness, confirming my earlier suspicions.
"Asperger's syndrome, that's what River has," I realized from clues in the notes.
I had never heard of this disease before, though.
As I glanced at the live chat, It was clear that most people were also confused by the name of the disease.
"Patients with Asperger's syndrome show symptoms like difficulty in social interactions, challenges in communication, repetitive behaviors, and a rigid adherence to routines or rituals."
"It fits perfectly in the behaviors she exhibited," I thought, as everything began to piece into place.
Suddenly, all of River's strange behaviors made sense.
However, now her actions are explained. But their deeper meaning still eluded me.
At this point, my curiosity only grew. I'm curious about Johnny and River.
What does the paper rabbit represent? What kind of story do Johnny and River share? And why does Johnny want to go to the moon so much? How is his wish To go to the moon linked to the River?
It's been almost two hours since I started this journey.
But why did Johnny want to go to the moon? Why did River wish to build the house where she could see Anya? Why did she fold paper rabbits? Does it have some meaning? And finally, what do the platypus and two-colored rabbit Origami represent?
These questions of ours have not been answered yet.
As the plot progresses, the memories lead to Johnny's teens and his student days.
During this time, he met River for the first time.
And I noticed one thing: The platypus, was with her.
In high school, River always carried that platypus with her.
It seems like this doll holds important meaning for her.
This is also the medium through which Johnny first approaches River.
They were at the Carnival. Johnny and River first met here. She was sitting on the bench. Noticing her sitting there with a book on her lap.
With the help of his friend Nicholas, Johnny was pushed in front of River, who was reading a book.
"Hello!"
"Uh... hello..."
"Can we talk?"
Standing in front of River, Johnny looked a little embarrassed.
And at this time, River finally said, "Yes."
"Well, this platypus of yours is cool," Johnny managed to find a topic to start a conversation. Almost making his friend Nicholas stumble, who was some distance away from them.
River first removed her gaze from the book, as she glanced at the platypus next to her, and then returned her focus to the book. She found the whole compliment towards her platypus a bit weird.
"Uh... what are you reading?" Johnny continued to search for topics to approach her.
"Book... a book." She looked back at him.
"About the platypus?" He asked, trying to be a little humorous.
"No."
"Oh... I, uh, I think that's not bad." Johnny looked a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that he felt River was a little distant.
From what Zhen saw, The River at this time seemed cold and distant.
It could even be said she feels inhumane. Even across the screen, Zhen could sense how embarrassed Johnny was.
The atmosphere enveloping them was very awkward.
With the flashbacks one after another of Johnny's memories in the game, I understood that this isn't the real River.
She acts this way because she is suffering from Autism.
"Lighthouse!" River suddenly spoke after being silent for a while, interrupting Johnny's train of thought.
She continued, "A total of sixteen secondary Fresnel lens lighthouses have been preserved in our country. Nine of them are located along the coast, and one of them is an old kerosene lighthouse."
"Oh, that's cool. Well, actually... I mean, would you like to watch a movie with me?" He asked.
"I don't know." She answered.
"It's okay, I can wait for you to think about it." Johnny chimed in.
"I can't think about it." She muttered in a barely audible voice.
"Why?"
"No date, no time."
"Huh... so, how about eight o'clock this Saturday? Is that okay?"
"Can." She nodded
This part made me feel uncomfortable, even a little distressed, seeing her situation.
As a normal person- It's impossible to experience What she is going through!
Honestly, I can't entirely feel the pain that She deals with in the game.
How uncomfortable it will be to have thoughts in your heart that you cannot accurately express through words or specific actions?
