Luo had also known Alan for a long time, and it could be said that she had grown up under Alan's watchful eye since the moment she was born. As a result, Luo had a childhood that was all but filled with Alan's figure as she explored from the rare plants that Alan brought back. They were a rare solitude on this planet, and like Luo, Luo was a rare person.
Before Alan picked Luo up from Mechanical City, Luo merely seemed like a part left in a pile of machinery.

If Alan hadn't arrived, Luo would have disappeared into the city like an otherwise unusable part.
But Alan brought Luo out.
She had a home, and even though it didn't count, Luo clung to the idea that it was home.
At that time, Luo, her entire being was like another Mechanical City, thick, cold, and hermetically sealed. When Alan named Luo for her, her mouth did not spit out a word, even a sound, just breathless and quiet, looking into Alan's eyes, as if to memorize Alan's appearance in her heart.

It was the plants that brought Luo another world of memories and horizons, a completely different world from that of man and machinery.
Those bubbling vitality opened a crack in Luo's heart.
Luo completely felt infinite affection for those plants, or rather everything that grew on the ground, she saw another microcosm in it, different from the reality, they are more fascinating, almost in a thought, they have changed across the centuries.
But she would never forget those days, even if they were no more, even if these plants were full of life, she was still just that girl, existing in Mechanical City, hiding in a corner and peering at the world ......
