The Causal Chain of Lunch

如果 Jiahua 不在，
When Jiahua is away,

午餐便失去方向，
Lunch loses its direction.

我们站在选择之前，
We stand before choices,

却无法做出决定。
Yet fail to decide.

不知道吃什么，
Not knowing what to eat

像一个微小却顽固的空白，
Becomes a small but stubborn void,

慢慢滋生出焦虑，
Quietly growing into anxiety,

在时间里悄然扩散。
Spreading through the hours.

焦虑侵入思绪，
Anxiety clouds the mind,

打断专注的节奏，
Disrupts the rhythm of focus,

工作开始迟滞，
Work begins to slow,

节奏逐渐失控。
Control starts to slip.

项目因此偏离轨道，
Projects drift off course,

进度不再可控，
Timelines lose their shape,

而远方的结果，
And distant outcomes

也随之产生涟漪。
Ripple out of sync.

于是我们明白，
So we come to understand—

Jiahua 的存在，
Jiahua is not just a person,

不仅仅是选择，
But a system of order

更是一种秩序。
Hidden in daily routine.

但若她不在，
But if she is not here,

世界仍需继续运转——
The world must still move on—

那就交给轮盘吧，
Then let the wheel decide,

让随机成为新的答案。
And let randomness take control.
