我用著別人的心臟,替他跳動,替他活著

貝琪經歷生死關頭後,換了一顆心臟,過著全新的人生。但她發覺有時的她有股不明的衝動,突然把房間全部漆成天藍色、想要吃花生三明治、看到鏡子裡的自己會出現幻覺,以及經過某座公園心臟會有熟悉的感覺………好多事情都不向原本的自己了。

貝琪在經歷這些之後遇到了山姆,這時她覺得她的心臟找到了依靠,似乎不再那麼不安地跳動。經過了交談,她知道,她的身體已經不全是她自己的了,她有著別人的心臟,因此勢必要與心臟主人有所連結,她要替前主人過這無法繼續的人生,若不是因為前主人,她的生命旅途也會因此終止。

她,用卡倫的心跳,在每一次跳動的距離下,認識卡倫、也認識山姆。

I am still alive by using other’s heart whereas I will use his heart to keep the journey of life going forward.

When Becky was saved from the death by changing a new heart, she found that sometimes what she performed were not like what she would do before. Such like painting the wall into sky-blue suddenly, having great desire of eating nuts sandwiches, feeling strange when seeing the reflection of herself from the mirror, and getting some familiar feeling when she walked by a park.

Everything got better when she met Sam, who made her heart felt stable. By a deep conversation, she knew that the body she used now was not totally belong to herself while she had Karen ’s heart, the new heart’s pre-owner. It was necessary to have some connection between her and Karen. However, if it was not the pre-owner’s sacrifice, she would not have the chance to survive and begun her new life. Hence, she must be healthy alive to enjoy the active power of life for Karen.

Accordingly, Becky tried to understand more about Karen and Sam through her every heartbeat.
