The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.128Please respect copyright.PENANAKRvZRoyc7s
128Please respect copyright.PENANA1c4DU2HfFQ
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAJCpqnAKqEI
128Please respect copyright.PENANAVdIZ6SwXaa
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.128Please respect copyright.PENANAn4wsg2cjk2
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.128Please respect copyright.PENANASJjuRUM5ow
Was it himself? A residue?128Please respect copyright.PENANAPYkh120rxA
Or a ghost never chosen?128Please respect copyright.PENANAoeowvXAljn
128Please respect copyright.PENANAa6xYeZXS9g
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5zufiXdvQg
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."128Please respect copyright.PENANArHZ8hU5V4f
128Please respect copyright.PENANAJoOoYRa88S
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.128Please respect copyright.PENANAn3mMrDVTYp
128Please respect copyright.PENANAN8ngCUCDow
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAG4pLkgFv4V
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5d3Ip3CIrz
He gave no answer.128Please respect copyright.PENANANCLuk5Sfta
128Please respect copyright.PENANAieh6Lhk3cj
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.128Please respect copyright.PENANAREd9C1Pfcv
The posture was his, the scars too.128Please respect copyright.PENANAA4EBtovVBh
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.128Please respect copyright.PENANAd0ARr6tU4Y
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.128Please respect copyright.PENANALjMyGSeZdG
128Please respect copyright.PENANAJnHfZuc8Ax
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAbxX9WqAF6l
The voice pressed closer.128Please respect copyright.PENANAHqgZvHLwCg
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."128Please respect copyright.PENANAzzO39x3iUj
128Please respect copyright.PENANAZzd9TT8FdE
He turned away.128Please respect copyright.PENANAsQvEKgvEng
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgRZvpqLrGr
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.128Please respect copyright.PENANAFhEqtRNLQt
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFqOab1ZvC0
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.128Please respect copyright.PENANAvKTiCJXwY1
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."128Please respect copyright.PENANA8do9pQDy37
128Please respect copyright.PENANAUyYaLbUVog
"Then—choose."128Please respect copyright.PENANABGXX6n6ORH
128Please respect copyright.PENANAYbdqjIFnF1
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.128Please respect copyright.PENANAI72EzoKkp3
He didn't look back.128Please respect copyright.PENANAsjZbQm1KL2
He knew nothing would be there.128Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ZamDoLlQ
And yet, he heard it.128Please respect copyright.PENANA47havSVCm6
128Please respect copyright.PENANAw23WMMAxI8
"Choose which one of you will remain."128Please respect copyright.PENANACpPUCl98fO
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFkUITQGH3T
He clenched his fists.128Please respect copyright.PENANA20BOH2UFYz
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,128Please respect copyright.PENANAkfkxttTcXb
Too real to abandon,128Please respect copyright.PENANA3j4eKXadIg
Too entangled to claim.128Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ucvqf15XJ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAPqWjs4BSoY
"What if I don't want to be either?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAZjjwiY2FHF
He asked the air, voice hoarse.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoSwIAA7ulv
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQuxIhms3vg
"Then become—128Please respect copyright.PENANA0AnFpDSSS0
the memory that survived the collapse."128Please respect copyright.PENANAStzt0K8nir
128Please respect copyright.PENANAtMm5ToVgri
The mirror cracked.128Please respect copyright.PENANAriS3K84yIR
128Please respect copyright.PENANAuUk3NbOm9v
Not from pressure.128Please respect copyright.PENANARrr5LlHDeJ
Not from sound.128Please respect copyright.PENANAMlH089RytG
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5bj9bOEE7M
But from time.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQL4K082Rgc
128Please respect copyright.PENANAmH4A99nuM6
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:128Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ArTn4MF7
They had never truly been separate.128Please respect copyright.PENANAE3uTuTg6FW
And now, they could never fully merge.128Please respect copyright.PENANARxUhlI7WVG
128Please respect copyright.PENANAngdjd7m4Bd
They could only—128Please respect copyright.PENANAXOv85yC4Vl
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2BELOFu6Bc
Overlay.128Please respect copyright.PENANAVgfy0zOXXb
Fracture.128Please respect copyright.PENANA3pCzGv6Xqi
Echo.128Please respect copyright.PENANAceN1lvElhH

Reflections That Do Not Return128Please respect copyright.PENANAJ20pBUwga3
128Please respect copyright.PENANAbik3hXWuyY
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.128Please respect copyright.PENANAJDdAdw4wQm
128Please respect copyright.PENANANDrK79vDlL
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—128Please respect copyright.PENANA2b5Za9RzdT
A different version of himself emerged:128Please respect copyright.PENANAhXiwQchovD
Some young, some aged.128Please respect copyright.PENANAe0r66POmYE
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.128Please respect copyright.PENANAQmaMXkU9cV
128Please respect copyright.PENANAGPrssnXQO1
"Are these… all me?"128Please respect copyright.PENANATgwfPUnExi
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsPy1VpO5lK
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,128Please respect copyright.PENANAKFdLcN2vN1
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?128Please respect copyright.PENANAfUAmTjwW98
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwRoL72qzF6
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgvjORD9wPw
But it reflected not the room—128Please respect copyright.PENANAk1chCxrX3K
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4QHsAz0NcP
It reflected time:128Please respect copyright.PENANA1zrCagoIQx
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgD96eJQga0
A Friday dusk,128Please respect copyright.PENANA6DmgNZq95K
A Tuesday's echo,128Please respect copyright.PENANAa2dI69aN3N
The moment the cross appeared,128Please respect copyright.PENANAzX4y9FCnfO
And the last turn of her figure.128Please respect copyright.PENANAA2iPYDsEye
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvQdDCVzSi5
"You didn't choose an identity,"128Please respect copyright.PENANAkpogNDnlP0
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.128Please respect copyright.PENANAKukYpO5GmT
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,128Please respect copyright.PENANAWsIlTqbsAd
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.128Please respect copyright.PENANAfdXEuAGS5C
128Please respect copyright.PENANAEfBpcVCq9H
"You chose the version of yourself—128Please respect copyright.PENANAnBfyWg9dcD
that could survive."128Please respect copyright.PENANAPjNHZQDSHk
128Please respect copyright.PENANAg3oEXrM75o
He stared at the fragments.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoSPzjYnpOe
Each one, a future with no return.128Please respect copyright.PENANALKMv6KeH4K
128Please respect copyright.PENANAuudt79uO7m
"And what if… I choose nothing?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAy3A3nmHpfn
He asked, barely audible.128Please respect copyright.PENANA0zIwtZurSD
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6TM8yyiXrq
"Then you'll be trapped—128Please respect copyright.PENANAQwwlzoW7Nz
within this fracture,128Please respect copyright.PENANAqpULZCssKi
until the next cycle calls you back."128Please respect copyright.PENANAcORgZq4Zn9
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnVNCF6Sbga
Silence again.128Please respect copyright.PENANAXNfm0jGd18
128Please respect copyright.PENANAFmevr61qfu
Then he whispered:128Please respect copyright.PENANA44tWwYkPFS
128Please respect copyright.PENANAk5l81WI6g7
"I don't want to wake up again…128Please respect copyright.PENANAdJpM1DVz26
if waking means forgetting her."128Please respect copyright.PENANA7MaJZgZxPx
128Please respect copyright.PENANAIggbivIzTw
The mirror flickered.128Please respect copyright.PENANAX414DhfX3V
128Please respect copyright.PENANAdyddBHVv3f
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—128Please respect copyright.PENANAffYzCj2gnY
128Please respect copyright.PENANAcQuLy7YPGq
"You'll forget what I said,"128Please respect copyright.PENANACqiUTclZFx
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…128Please respect copyright.PENANAjxEVG6VPMi
and that I never left."128Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wl6OPvPpe
128Please respect copyright.PENANAnYV7ONsxoK
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.128Please respect copyright.PENANAljel6Fn4mP
The eternity hidden within Friday.128Please respect copyright.PENANAs1csaOJ0x2
128Please respect copyright.PENANALqtcYtpmAs
No ticking clock,128Please respect copyright.PENANA60lwcPBBUv
No urgency.128Please respect copyright.PENANASdfDdqRD0E
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOyRx8uEHRx
Only breath—128Please respect copyright.PENANANfWB2cKbRL
And something deeper still:128Please respect copyright.PENANAHACUYUPdqO
The echo of his own heartbeat,128Please respect copyright.PENANA09WdSvsJ7i
splintering across time.128Please respect copyright.PENANAu1qNN5xxdW
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgTBS5zN3vf
A single crack stretched across the floor,128Please respect copyright.PENANAib9wMMpENs
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.128Please respect copyright.PENANAAFNj1LaSGO
128Please respect copyright.PENANApa51S8Ly6K
One wrong step,128Please respect copyright.PENANAaBcZ3XYZAm
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.128Please respect copyright.PENANAMdVoK6tNKy
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwGFQj5F5PS
He knelt and picked up a shard.128Please respect copyright.PENANAq612DuNypr
Its surface stirred memory—128Please respect copyright.PENANAENrRZexeoE
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.128Please respect copyright.PENANA8oxGiH03bl
128Please respect copyright.PENANAPw7vdxPJfP
"He said he'd come back… He promised."128Please respect copyright.PENANAlCEvEO4f71
128Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ii6APXD7
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—128Please respect copyright.PENANAPVFtNiB7Q0
Young, certain, full of hope.128Please respect copyright.PENANAJHynUo6USu
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWJaeANcKCz
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,128Please respect copyright.PENANAVsIeDR5WCH
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.128Please respect copyright.PENANAVR4lhECWeW
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:128Please respect copyright.PENANAcwFD3LVCHL
2025.2.19 // 28:01128Please respect copyright.PENANAIFhDytymA8
128Please respect copyright.PENANApbXGxh7YXL
She whispered—128Please respect copyright.PENANAcC3KfR3Z3A
128Please respect copyright.PENANAgSMpj2gov9
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.128Please respect copyright.PENANALZz0N7SZZh
It's meant—for choosing."128Please respect copyright.PENANAlp0KQLAXVt
128Please respect copyright.PENANA5rjsjJKlhu
Something within him stirred—128Please respect copyright.PENANAJHq3XtQotj
First gentle,128Please respect copyright.PENANAmKbWgmXXUJ
Then forceful,128Please respect copyright.PENANAHMsnH4Usj8
Almost irresistible.128Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qycl7hIYP
128Please respect copyright.PENANApYmS8p82LL
A pull born of her voice,128Please respect copyright.PENANAgjfn43XCHZ
Of her silence,128Please respect copyright.PENANAk0gEY8wTNb
Of every name forgotten by time.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoRKoDMlfkh
128Please respect copyright.PENANAUEj55dRgzQ
"Then… how do I choose?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAiUsto1kXp5
He asked not the mirror now,128Please respect copyright.PENANA56eSyIkyND
But the entire world.128Please respect copyright.PENANAHmqOw9Qgof
128Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZDCHVXWqZ
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,128Please respect copyright.PENANAqcn2EmNZGO
"was never the answer—128Please respect copyright.PENANAtb6GwzlI3k
only the cost."128Please respect copyright.PENANAnqdpvKQFqc
128Please respect copyright.PENANApRXE9oFL0g
He opened his eyes.128Please respect copyright.PENANA6URHtYFiw8
128Please respect copyright.PENANAwiJ3Ai7P04
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—128Please respect copyright.PENANAR2diNIuEai
An ending already written,128Please respect copyright.PENANA9L4ytjHax2
Yet never spoken.128Please respect copyright.PENANA4efi4dSBY6

You Remember Too Much128Please respect copyright.PENANAR9pvKVWQId
128Please respect copyright.PENANANLF1dM3Y2O
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,128Please respect copyright.PENANABOcymobi8o
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.128Please respect copyright.PENANATitJlKERi3
So now, only one question remains:128Please respect copyright.PENANAQSqqQnkzGL
128Please respect copyright.PENANAEiUZPoeU8G
Who will you remain for?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAfkWoCflPBh
128Please respect copyright.PENANAE3fyVehcF9

Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.128Please respect copyright.PENANAyCpot11OCV
128Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0LGfNHhpB
"You just didn't want to admit it."128Please respect copyright.PENANA6VAd1Uec2O
128Please respect copyright.PENANAyImtoyW0cL
"And you've never truly let go,"128Please respect copyright.PENANAO9jrplX7Pm
Li An-Qing's voice followed,128Please respect copyright.PENANAHKEIR7lG2Z
Like light after the rain.128Please respect copyright.PENANANHfOdgGQIw
128Please respect copyright.PENANAqzZu2g2EA6
"Because you know—128Please respect copyright.PENANASdML6M3gN6
this was never yours to end."128Please respect copyright.PENANAXPmeZWY9ud
128Please respect copyright.PENANAOSovYKvnc1
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.128Please respect copyright.PENANAWP3GMuuoc2
128Please respect copyright.PENANAWc0UKPECyh
Behind him—wreckage of the past.128Please respect copyright.PENANAMxrgdysFzL
Before him—a nameless exit.128Please respect copyright.PENANA5GvMJzWkea
128Please respect copyright.PENANAkaskI1p9ZA
"If I can't become him…128Please respect copyright.PENANAe6BnkuW9U6
and I can't just be myself…128Please respect copyright.PENANALohfr30i5A
what is left of me?"128Please respect copyright.PENANAWeqOR4zBjD
128Please respect copyright.PENANA9LR42h0bJP
"Memory," they said in unison.128Please respect copyright.PENANANcVCpSPmSy
128Please respect copyright.PENANAoOPBBUSVvb
Not names.128Please respect copyright.PENANAiMN8PBCTyO
Not roles.128Please respect copyright.PENANAghYTnBhe3G
But something heavier—128Please respect copyright.PENANASWExyibDSE
A will strong enough to pierce time.128Please respect copyright.PENANAKTGKWIhgoz
128Please respect copyright.PENANAjPl80C9Y9h
If names fade, let them.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOKEMuLo32r

"Because now—you remember us."128Please respect copyright.PENANAVwHwnwLmFQ
128Please respect copyright.PENANAsfj7SQi9OK
"You only need to keep walking,"128Please respect copyright.PENANAycMz8WPW8R
Li An-Qing said next.128Please respect copyright.PENANAxKHZmoimBO
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."128Please respect copyright.PENANA0vOcaVE9ML
128Please respect copyright.PENANAxNySsJvp3i
The fractures began to close—128Please respect copyright.PENANA5VdMBuLAYk
Not as an end,128Please respect copyright.PENANATyPF7XYlFY
But as a silent reformation.128Please respect copyright.PENANAfnzpXNJiwE
128Please respect copyright.PENANArOmzMC45C7
Shattered timelines intertwined,128Please respect copyright.PENANAGHDdArBAdI
Forming a new path—128Please respect copyright.PENANAflFdykTINM
Free of judgment,128Please respect copyright.PENANAJgYXEbTXb6
Free of labels,128Please respect copyright.PENANAK2zebE1Eab
Free of the need to look back.128Please respect copyright.PENANABMHCT9z06W

But—128Please respect copyright.PENANAZuTu2rq9hK
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvlRHP9nL0R
A future with no name.
