校園
王子謙是班上的人氣王,臉上總是帶著笑容,受到所有人喜愛。 路書凡素日沉默寡言,在班上形同孤獨一匹狼,顯得神祕而難以接近。 劉心彤是女孩們小團體裡的其中一員,總隱沒在人群之間。 三位迥然不同的十七歲青少年各自背負著故事, 在笑容之下、在眼淚之下、在選擇不說的體貼之下, 年幼而青澀的那份情緒波動被隱藏得太過完美, 看似容易理解,卻其實最為複雜, 又即是那份複雜,讓他們摔得遍體鱗傷, 在傷口癒合之前先迎來的,即是人生中最艱難的選擇題── 當死去和活下去一樣痛苦,你會選擇哪一條路前進?
Tzu-Chien Wang is the class favorite—always smiling, adored by everyone. Shu-Fan Lu, quiet and withdrawn, moves through the class like a lone wolf—mysterious and hard to approach. Hsin-Tung Liu is one of the girls in a small social group, always blending into the background. Three seventeen-year-olds, each carrying their own hidden stories. Beneath the smiles, behind the tears, and under the silence born of kindness, their fragile, unspoken emotions are concealed all too perfectly. They may seem easy to understand, but are in fact the most complex— and it is that very complexity that leaves them battered and bruised. Before their wounds have time to heal, life presents them with its hardest question: When dying and surviving hurt just the same, which path will you choose?

王子謙和路書凡從小就是彼此最親密的存在。一個長期遭受父親家暴,一個家境困頓、經常餓著肚子。他們默契地替對方藏住家庭的傷痕,用沉默守護彼此的脆弱。 某天,他們發現同班的劉心彤似乎被排擠。心彤所屬的小圈子正在籌辦生日派對,卻刻意忽略她與壽星生日同一天的事實,只為讓她難堪。得知這一切後,王子謙當場拉著心彤離開,三人私下舉辦了一場簡單卻溫暖的小慶生。 不久後,班上同學得知路書凡無力負擔畢業旅行的費用,擅自幫他募資並將錢交給他。這份「善意」卻讓書凡感到羞辱與反感。就在這段時間,王子謙因父親病重而長期缺席學校。 心彤注意到書凡的異樣,擔心之下跟著他回了家,輕聲表達關心。就在這時,他們收到王子謙的訊息——他的父親去世了。 心彤與書凡立刻趕往海邊,找到站在海中的王子謙。謙終於吐露內心壓抑許久的絕望,問書凡:「你願不願意陪我一起死?」 書凡毫不猶豫地答應了,但隨即反問:「如果我們都有勇氣去死,那是不是也能試著一起活下去?」 這句話,成為將王子謙拉回現實的力量。 對他們三人而言,「活下去」從來都不是一件容易的事。但只要彼此陪伴,也許這段路,就不再那麼難走。
Tzu-Chien Wang and Shu-Fan Lu are childhood friends bound by shared pain—one lives with an abusive father, the other in poverty. They never speak of it, but quietly protect each other. One day, they notice their classmate Hsin-Tung Liu being excluded. Her friend group plans a birthday party but ignores that she shares the same birthday as the guest of honor. Tzu-Chien pulls her away, the three hold a simple, heartfelt celebration of their own. Later, classmates raise money for Shu-Fan’s graduation trip without asking, leaving him humiliated. At the same time, Tzu-Chien disappears—his father is gravely ill. Worried, Hsin-Tung follows Shu-Fan home to check on him. Just then, Tzu-Chien messages them: his father has died. They find him standing in the sea. Tzu-Chien, overwhelmed with grief, asks, “Will you die with me?” Shu-Fan says yes—then adds, “If we’re brave enough to die, can’t we try living instead?”
