It's been a long time since I wrote to you, but it seems that words out of voice don't reach you. You're devastated, today I filmed you in your car while you were sleeping. I would never get tired of looking at you, you know, but seeing you so exhausted makes me very sad. All this world in which you're immersing yourself is hurting you. I understand that you want to experience these limits that you tell me about, I understand that especially now with underwater ultrasound it is like entering a wonderful world. But reality is me, reality is you, destroyed inside the car in the morning, reality is you working for endless hours in the office, which are also modifying your body. And you seem not to realize it.

距离上次给你写信，已经过了许久，无声的文字似乎无法抵达你。你给累垮了，今天你在车上睡觉的时候，我拍了条你的短片。我真是怎么看你都嫌看不够，你知道吗？不过看到你这么累，我很难过。你沉浸的那个世界正在透支你的身体。我可以理解你说的突破极限的快感，尤其现在利用水下超声波，那就像梦游仙境。但这都不是真的，我才是真的，早上车子里累到脱力的你才是真的，现实就是你在研究室里无限加班，你的身体越来越差。你对此毫无所知。
