這樣不禮貌，收起你愚蠢的表情 "Oh, nice to meet you."

我試圖展現一個友好的微笑，但應該是一些小動作透露了我的緊張。對方，一個個子不高、皮膚白皙的亞洲男子，也有點不知所措。

一陣尷尬的沈默後，他開口介紹了自己的名字，一個日本名字。
我在心裡讚嘆著他沒什麼口音的英文（日式英文大概是最好認的口音之一），同時說了自己的名字且來自台灣

接下來是一片的死寂，我尷尬的揮了揮手上的方巾，說時間不早了我該去盥洗，然後逃跑似的離開房間（在我鎖上了所有的隨身物品後）

洗澡時我想著如果對方對我做了什麼我有多大的機率能打贏對方，又想到現在過了12點，我已經累的沒有力氣去更換房間。

嘆了一口氣，我回房間後跟家人聯絡，稍微說明了現在的情況（打字，當然）
然後又埋頭開始整理行李，隔天要健行，身上的行李能輕則輕。

"Um, it's late, but it seems we don't have any other roommates?" 我這麼問他

他抬起頭，面有難色"There was a mother and a daughter...but they changed the room as soon as they found that I a male." 然後沈默地望著我

我闔上行李，然後正對著他笑"Great, seems I can own this lower deck. I'd rather not climb up that ladder, I may kill myself, u'know."

他跟著笑了"That ladder is insane, why would anyone design this kind of ladder?" 房間內的氣氛瞬間緩和許多，時間也來到半夜一點。在得到他的允許後我關了大燈，窩回我的位子準備休息。

黑暗中總是放大了其他的感覺，我能聽見他的呼吸（不足以平穩的讓人以為他已經入睡）、我自己的呼吸、窗外的風聲、隨之發出聲響的樹枝落葉

"Hey..."他小聲的開口，試探我是否已經入睡，我以上揚的鼻音作為回答後他再度開口，不知為何還是很小聲，像是在說著什麼秘密一樣"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Taiwan. And you? Japan?"

"Yeah, it's obvious, huh."

"Your name, your appearance. Which city are you from? I've been to Japan before and I really like your country."

"Kyoto. Have you been there before?"

"I've been there once, and would like to go there again and again. The sakura was splendid in April."

"Glad you like it...You know, you're pretty good in speaking English. How old are you?"

"Haha, it's so nice of you. I'm 19, a college freshman. And you? You don't look like a student."

"I'm 27. I'm here in Canada during our golden week, to find my old friends. I used to study here. My roommate was a Taiwanese, too!"

"What a coincident! So, what's your plan tomorrow?"

"Hmmm, I'm gonna stay in Rocky for a few days, and will fly to Toronto, where I can find my friend. And you?"

"2 more days in Rocky and be ready to head back to Taiwan. I've been here a month already, I really love Canada."

"Haha, next time you should try staying here in winter for a month, you may change your mind."

"Oh my, it's really late already. I would like to talk to you a little more but I really really should get some sleep. I'm leaving at 7."

"Oh, I didn't notice that. Sorry for interrupting your sleep."

"No no no, please don't say that. It's really nice to have a little chat with a stranger before sleep. The number one reason I like hostels."

"I got the same feeling, Sophia. Good night."

"Good night."

good night
