感谢远在太平洋彼岸的南希·麦克威廉斯女士，她将诸如《精神分析诊断：理解人格结构》这样优秀的著作引荐给世人，令我在受益匪浅后能够创作出这部更加世俗与商业的作品来与更多并不为学术的亲和力所吸引的人们共享。
《千年女优》以及《红辣椒》是今敏先生奉献给所有人的精神财富，同时也启发了我将蒙太奇以及虚实的手法引渡到小说中，特此致谢。
感谢国内漫画家北巷、极乐鸟，两人的叙事风格我非常喜欢；《绯色安娜》、《云海之上》和《主题世界》一直是我铭记于心的故事范本，长期以来都不失为纯真的感动。
感谢《最终幻想VII：圣子降临》的全体制作人员，这部作品在我构建架空世界观上给予了我莫大的启发和帮助，对该作影响深远。
最后感谢一直支持着我的人们，包括阅文集团、我的责编、以及我的读者们。未来难以预估，在此先行鸣谢致歉。
谢谢。
埃斯欧埃夫，《人格拟态》，2017。

I'd like to appreciate Madam Nancy McWilliams in the US， who introduced a series of wonderful works such as Psychological Diagnosis: Understanding Personality Structure in a Clinical Progress (Second Ediotion) to the world， which benefited me quite a lot and encouraged me to work out this commercial novel to share with the major public that are less attracted academically.
The movies， Millennium Actress and Paprika， contributed by Director Satoshi Kon， reminded me to add the techniques of montage and virtual reality to my novel. I'm grateful.
Thanks to domestic cartoonists Beixiang and Jileniao， I could own their describing styles as my favourate， whose works， Scarlet Anna， Beyond the Clouds and Theme World， keep me a framework as well as a white shock.
And the whole creators of Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children， whose masterpiece helped me much with the structure a virtual world， had a lifelong effect on my novel.
Eventually， I'd like to say thanks to those who keep supporting me， Group Yuewen， my editors and my readers. There could always be something unpredicted in the future， so please allow me to express my appreciation and sorror here in advance.
ありがとうございます。
