Chapter 1323 Eternal Sunshine
"...I thought I was ugly when I was a child."
"Oh, I can't believe I'm actually crying here."
"Sometimes people have no idea how lonely it is to be a child, it's like you don't matter at all."
"When I was eight years old, I had many toys and dolls. My favorite was an ugly doll. I called her Clementine."
"I kept yelling at her, 'You can't be so ugly, you must be beautiful.' It was strange, as if if I had magic to change her, I could also change myself."
In the Quilt Castle, Joel watched the scarred Clementine quietly. He raised his hand to gently wipe away the hot tears on her cheeks.
"You're beautiful," Joel whispered.
Clementine, "Joel, don't leave me."
"You are beautiful. You are beautiful."
However, the falling light dimmed, and Joel suddenly woke up. He tried his best to catch Clementine and murmured, "Please, please, please let me keep this." Memories.”
This section, this section.
The light disappeared, and the world fell into darkness.
There is no pause, no time to grieve, no time to even breathe, the next memory has already come——
Clementine had red hair, bright red, and the two of them chased and ran on the Charles River in winter, laughter surging in their chests.
Finally, they lay on the ice and counted the stars.
Clementine found Joel's right hand and clasped her fingers tightly.
"I die with no regrets now," Joel said. "I'm just... so happy. I've never felt this way. This is what I want."
The next second, they were lying on the crowded street.
Then, Clementine disappears.
Joel looked at his empty right hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
"I want to stop there."
Joel looked up at the sky, clasped his hands in prayer, and shouted to Stan and Patrick.
"Stop, I want to stop here!"
"Can you hear me? I don't want to continue, I want to stop!"
Joel shouted, almost breaking his throat, his lonely voice echoing on the Charles River——
Unfortunately, the real world is different.
Mary and Stan, wearing only their underwear, were dancing... on the bed where Joel was lying.
Twist dance.
This scene... shouldn't be laughed at; but the sharp gap and huge reversal made the sadness and bitterness on the tip of the tongue swallow up at once, and he was caught off guard and choked on his saliva, and laughter couldn't help but overflow.
Obviously, the director did it on purpose.
In Joel's world, he is tracing the past along the lines of memory; but in the real world, Stan and Patrick also have their troubles.
Patrick... left because his "girlfriend" was so upset.
Originally, Patrick had the urge to call Clementine to come to Joel's apartment; anyway, Clementine had no memory of Joel at all.
Unexpectedly, Clementine was on the verge of collapse on the other end of the phone.
Patrick hurried to Clementine's apartment and found Clementine with a straw haircut, her face full of panic and confusion.
In front of the big screen.
Blair sat up straight and said: This!
Karen was frightened, looked at Blair with confusion, and asked with her eyes, "What's wrong?"
Blair waved his hands repeatedly, quickly calmed down, and motioned for Karen to pay attention to the screen.
Blair was just thinking that Clementine's hair color kept changing, so was there a clue to the timeline puzzle hidden in it?
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, Joel's tie seems to be a hint. However, there was no time to think deeply at this time, so Blair refocused his attention——
Clementine felt panic and fear.
When Joel's memory of her was disappearing, Clementine felt that she was disappearing too. An indescribable emotion grabbed hold of her heart and slowly dropped. The suffocation and pain made her lose direction.
She needed to grasp at straws. Any straw.
Patrick looked at the helpless Clementine and started to panic. He didn't know what to do, so he secretly found Clementine's diary in his backpack and prepared to follow Joel's footsteps and take Clementine to Charles. river.
Maybe, Patrick does like Clementine, but now he likes Clementine in the same way as Joel. Joel's soul still exists in his body.
And he is still the perfect Joel in Clementine’s memory.
He tried to get rid of Joel's shadow, but he still allowed himself to follow Joel's footsteps again and again. He used Joel's words, Joel's gifts, and Joel's methods to pursue Clementine and occupy the magpie's nest. Fill the void.
However, Patrick had no choice, it was the only way he knew how.
Patrick isn't the only one trapped in his own emotional troubles; Stan is also there.

Stan likes Mary.
This was the truth and he never tried to hide it.
So, when Mary appeared at the door of Joel's apartment, Stan, who was focused on his work, threw the work at hand behind him and not only allowed Patrick to rescue his girlfriend, but also partyed with Mary himself.
Pizza. Alcohol. music.
Stan and Mary enjoyed the party, and Stan did not continue to sit in front of the computer to supervise the entire operation, which gave Joel a chance——
Clementine is disappearing, but not as quickly as before.
Clementine, who disappeared on the Charles River one second, then reappeared.
Joel looked at the lost Clementine and jumped forward with joy, hugging Clementine tightly with all his strength.
At this moment, he finally understood.
This is the eternal sunshine of a beautiful soul. There is no so-called perfection. Love that is far away from pain and struggle cannot be hot and brilliant forever. The splendor and intensity of happiness are precisely because of its fragility, incompleteness and fleetingness, but as long as that ray of eternity Sunshine is still treasured deep in memory, it can retain happiness forever and illuminate the direction of life.
"Run. Clay, run!"
Joel shouted to Clementine.
However, Clementine didn't understand what was happening and laughed heartily at Joel who looked serious.
"Haha, running on the ice? Haven't you fallen enough?"
It was this scene, a simple and simple scene, that hit Blair's heart hard——
Joel finally woke up and finally realized the importance of memory.
Turning around, Blair saw Karen crying with tears streaming down her face.
Blair was startled.
Karen didn't have time to pay attention to this, she covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Blair couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. The tears that had not yet come out shrank back, he looked at the big screen again, and quietly clenched his fists.
Joel finally realizes he's being stupid, but is it too late? Can he turn the tide? Can he prevent the amnesia from being erased?
If this was a Hollywood-type commercial movie, what would follow would be a last-second rescue scene; but Blair had a strong hunch that this would not be the case with Charlie Kaufman.
Sure enough, Joel grabbed Clementine and ran quickly, traveling through different memory scenes, trying to find the doctor at the Wangqing Clinic——
All it takes is a doctor to stop this.
He had to stop this.
