The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.130Please respect copyright.PENANAnGDILToLXl
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4WZLdVnO3W
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"130Please respect copyright.PENANApdvz2qh2kS
130Please respect copyright.PENANA4ApaT6oNjC
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.130Please respect copyright.PENANAtMRCwxEUUG
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1LVqOE0m8q
Was it himself? A residue?130Please respect copyright.PENANAth0TtGDYPC
Or a ghost never chosen?130Please respect copyright.PENANAUSra6lQTw8
130Please respect copyright.PENANALkZka7IkWz
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1wLfW3Swrv
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."130Please respect copyright.PENANAbxAroo6TBm
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdI491iwNiv
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.130Please respect copyright.PENANAgwqijXsUde
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjf5jejzXIW
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAQpDgyGT22x
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3o9cowkoUK
He gave no answer.130Please respect copyright.PENANADfrq2GRMPx
130Please respect copyright.PENANAGZMtBdFhfn
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.130Please respect copyright.PENANAvg5cTdNClS
The posture was his, the scars too.130Please respect copyright.PENANAuKNwKB36Pb
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.130Please respect copyright.PENANAyI7kGQWbcw
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.130Please respect copyright.PENANADFopWDUrxn
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV5tHiC9EQJ
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAfNpx8xwiVl
The voice pressed closer.130Please respect copyright.PENANAU9pdlAYGXw
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."130Please respect copyright.PENANA0HI4utzBEV
130Please respect copyright.PENANAJeaGHtdUTB
He turned away.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQV0xYR4xTA
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.130Please respect copyright.PENANA73CdVMx8Fw
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.130Please respect copyright.PENANASIrpTNnbfA
130Please respect copyright.PENANACPrQjT5g5b
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.130Please respect copyright.PENANAt9nS3PzGpU
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."130Please respect copyright.PENANAgXbgklny5E
130Please respect copyright.PENANAVYFvVT8P5w
"Then—choose."130Please respect copyright.PENANAohzUtbwbhj
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqnA8bA1YO2
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.130Please respect copyright.PENANA3jXacALd63
He didn't look back.130Please respect copyright.PENANA4KmQbSKr8I
He knew nothing would be there.130Please respect copyright.PENANAdO7UWXxuxn
And yet, he heard it.130Please respect copyright.PENANAXX0rJNZUhK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHRNCJN7sOV
"Choose which one of you will remain."130Please respect copyright.PENANABt8qxPeArr
130Please respect copyright.PENANARQoMItmhuO
He clenched his fists.130Please respect copyright.PENANAmiz0cGCeLU
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,130Please respect copyright.PENANAMEETgsQQ62
Too real to abandon,130Please respect copyright.PENANAnk0sFDwuJW
Too entangled to claim.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8u1KJ5KQMk
130Please respect copyright.PENANA1fZ389V6Rk
"What if I don't want to be either?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAw4GLgp5C0q
He asked the air, voice hoarse.130Please respect copyright.PENANALy6v4OTZOY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAjhwiFNLSfe
"Then become—130Please respect copyright.PENANArdyVAiLaFX
the memory that survived the collapse."130Please respect copyright.PENANAxuFTMfjU2T
130Please respect copyright.PENANAzMTcwyP1z8
The mirror cracked.130Please respect copyright.PENANAqRIQijn8aQ
130Please respect copyright.PENANAAbHeVGL47G
Not from pressure.130Please respect copyright.PENANAB0IkoGG3wD
Not from sound.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1LEnj4CA9t
130Please respect copyright.PENANAITJzEsLiVg
But from time.130Please respect copyright.PENANAxoKsev3b2n
130Please respect copyright.PENANA0KjylXEyzB
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:130Please respect copyright.PENANAJSpmuMXR3A
They had never truly been separate.130Please respect copyright.PENANANANf0UEHjI
And now, they could never fully merge.130Please respect copyright.PENANAhz7d36oAHL
130Please respect copyright.PENANAujRgjLmBji
They could only—130Please respect copyright.PENANARFRtYsevLt
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3LkFyu54Jo
Overlay.130Please respect copyright.PENANAfeVq6g6F2U
Fracture.130Please respect copyright.PENANA6NFKQLhPhQ
Echo.130Please respect copyright.PENANArUNWIzomIN

130Please respect copyright.PENANAWZefteh7Gp
Reflections That Do Not Return130Please respect copyright.PENANAv5O1rKMpKd
130Please respect copyright.PENANAnFqWBKKGvB
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.130Please respect copyright.PENANAWkq5iPvTtK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAodnjzGWj2W
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—130Please respect copyright.PENANApUkwBOtraN
A different version of himself emerged:130Please respect copyright.PENANAlmD3nj6RSz
Some young, some aged.130Please respect copyright.PENANAFOO0aNhLPx
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.130Please respect copyright.PENANAMbGRFw0xOp
130Please respect copyright.PENANASbRrG6A4CR
"Are these… all me?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAqu9AhduU7o
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsNzJgFiv3l
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,130Please respect copyright.PENANAP9TytQ37ae
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?130Please respect copyright.PENANAWsGBvj0gVV
130Please respect copyright.PENANAHwqpVbgwFR
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.130Please respect copyright.PENANAwzgz7g4WAS
But it reflected not the room—130Please respect copyright.PENANAhIb5xrKJw6
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8VWhrsGJCG
It reflected time:130Please respect copyright.PENANAynNt8T4nLD
130Please respect copyright.PENANAB336jEUfWQ
A Friday dusk,130Please respect copyright.PENANA1KVKJvHhcE
A Tuesday's echo,130Please respect copyright.PENANAQKAjKA4bee
The moment the cross appeared,130Please respect copyright.PENANAfXsgnH5SLi
And the last turn of her figure.130Please respect copyright.PENANAkEkjRnNMjF
130Please respect copyright.PENANAaVLey59RbE
"You didn't choose an identity,"130Please respect copyright.PENANAOXRsJBVfGL
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.130Please respect copyright.PENANAEwXeprLIpm
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,130Please respect copyright.PENANAct5tn0iP7n
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.130Please respect copyright.PENANAtGsSOuvO59
130Please respect copyright.PENANAWoM2OJHZ0I
"You chose the version of yourself—130Please respect copyright.PENANAhx7QSaCyO4
that could survive."130Please respect copyright.PENANA6bOrim2KRj
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxDzyvS991L
He stared at the fragments.130Please respect copyright.PENANABKwpxFqO8W
Each one, a future with no return.130Please respect copyright.PENANAMpAa3yXWkY
130Please respect copyright.PENANAcJXbrnL04K
"And what if… I choose nothing?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAYE3NuDrPTp
He asked, barely audible.130Please respect copyright.PENANA6VX4ogJFD5
130Please respect copyright.PENANAogGI6EiLcM
"Then you'll be trapped—130Please respect copyright.PENANAAVeutIx5i6
within this fracture,130Please respect copyright.PENANAgub1jODdLw
until the next cycle calls you back."130Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ3mQ4Uuhz
130Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Ua7talTm
Silence again.130Please respect copyright.PENANA81Oepmt3HW
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZQQfyb1q9g
Then he whispered:130Please respect copyright.PENANAjtV0chXGkj
130Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgAV8670B
"I don't want to wake up again…130Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVlZ3ScOb
if waking means forgetting her."130Please respect copyright.PENANA3upC2r5jkR
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8pmwlDyRJ0
The mirror flickered.130Please respect copyright.PENANAbKllXVHtJs
130Please respect copyright.PENANAJNhsCiRDFo
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—130Please respect copyright.PENANAae1CgBsXGr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAYGE6cti7n0
"You'll forget what I said,"130Please respect copyright.PENANAHQUDTsPWfW
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…130Please respect copyright.PENANAHguQDCchEQ
and that I never left."130Please respect copyright.PENANAHslipnUmz4
130Please respect copyright.PENANAw9A09xjXVa
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.130Please respect copyright.PENANAo9ekAUXT8f
The eternity hidden within Friday.130Please respect copyright.PENANAZngVwYJKU6
130Please respect copyright.PENANAd5hTE9EDh8
No ticking clock,130Please respect copyright.PENANAXNWtCpJbP5
No urgency.130Please respect copyright.PENANAe0H4EbcPWV
130Please respect copyright.PENANAqeZf368Vlr
Only breath—130Please respect copyright.PENANAYa9nyl7Ndp
And something deeper still:130Please respect copyright.PENANA0uX3yuvKCi
The echo of his own heartbeat,130Please respect copyright.PENANAz8aYerklwF
splintering across time.130Please respect copyright.PENANAud3V9yihGK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV9RXRU6ZGS
A single crack stretched across the floor,130Please respect copyright.PENANAKjV8UwhQtO
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.130Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNw9QfJqE
130Please respect copyright.PENANA3dFWuHmnRL
One wrong step,130Please respect copyright.PENANAy6sFlYDSgD
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.130Please respect copyright.PENANA8pIyndxP0y
130Please respect copyright.PENANAThQCRmipkI
He knelt and picked up a shard.130Please respect copyright.PENANA9yubas975D
Its surface stirred memory—130Please respect copyright.PENANAGhQxbcUksm
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.130Please respect copyright.PENANALyspiw6dWL
130Please respect copyright.PENANAkGDDNkjm4Z
"He said he'd come back… He promised."130Please respect copyright.PENANA1MQg2tg86N
130Please respect copyright.PENANARn2yigMaVb
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—130Please respect copyright.PENANA7s7ACPgntQ
Young, certain, full of hope.130Please respect copyright.PENANAM7iv8lGGh3
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXR34YWZfLT
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,130Please respect copyright.PENANAGyLk0Aw2Tf
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.130Please respect copyright.PENANAJtUnvYd1Qt
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:130Please respect copyright.PENANA6bSvK0HIAE
2025.2.19 // 28:01130Please respect copyright.PENANAGxyGUB8GZt
130Please respect copyright.PENANANALchTWFGZ
She whispered—130Please respect copyright.PENANAR6tbp7QBa0
130Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jm1JJqNWp
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.130Please respect copyright.PENANAXlWkzPiZSE
It's meant—for choosing."130Please respect copyright.PENANAG9puODMiag
130Please respect copyright.PENANAT2BecZAL4U
Something within him stirred—130Please respect copyright.PENANAIyMsIAFU9W
First gentle,130Please respect copyright.PENANAEfXmpCwXwj
Then forceful,130Please respect copyright.PENANARJyDoLtH5G
Almost irresistible.130Please respect copyright.PENANADYpCwlP2tS
130Please respect copyright.PENANAggKrEVb0Bs
A pull born of her voice,130Please respect copyright.PENANAIcsScvMGY9
Of her silence,130Please respect copyright.PENANANX9nMNOadS
Of every name forgotten by time.130Please respect copyright.PENANALEKCqkeFkX
130Please respect copyright.PENANAKHkRR4JWKQ
"Then… how do I choose?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAy4YRmU1K8x
He asked not the mirror now,130Please respect copyright.PENANAKnf0t9Jfni
But the entire world.130Please respect copyright.PENANAaXLmHJgJJK
130Please respect copyright.PENANAR71uU8k38X
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,130Please respect copyright.PENANASWQaEoyOPK
"was never the answer—130Please respect copyright.PENANAsvINkga2KK
only the cost."130Please respect copyright.PENANAIrq9H74WtP
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ5l3uwijB
He opened his eyes.130Please respect copyright.PENANASPSQZvdqNg
130Please respect copyright.PENANAp3qXsxQ2b9
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—130Please respect copyright.PENANAVaot6N63VQ
An ending already written,130Please respect copyright.PENANA48q4Lz2soK
Yet never spoken.130Please respect copyright.PENANAuRQvqbsU1R

You Remember Too Much130Please respect copyright.PENANAFtBhrao29Q
130Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Xqlo5VMJ
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,130Please respect copyright.PENANAWh1rsN2rAC
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.130Please respect copyright.PENANALm8LclDTIK
So now, only one question remains:130Please respect copyright.PENANAEWal61W56F
130Please respect copyright.PENANAtbpzKAGWmg
Who will you remain for?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAh6XYDzmLS9
130Please respect copyright.PENANAbEFXdqDenz
"You've always remembered,"130Please respect copyright.PENANA0je2cJwWIm
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.130Please respect copyright.PENANAyEzW9nMpsX
130Please respect copyright.PENANAsCJeEx28vZ
"You just didn't want to admit it."130Please respect copyright.PENANAymORug8aYg
130Please respect copyright.PENANAV8omtgIYdd
"And you've never truly let go,"130Please respect copyright.PENANAdysm0mThEF
Li An-Qing's voice followed,130Please respect copyright.PENANAZzK32hJW2W
Like light after the rain.130Please respect copyright.PENANANoWBzrQa2N
130Please respect copyright.PENANAyEbM6yj1jJ
"Because you know—130Please respect copyright.PENANAumbJDr8r2e
this was never yours to end."130Please respect copyright.PENANAiWpQRYyekr
130Please respect copyright.PENANAERc6MvaGlK
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.130Please respect copyright.PENANArUQWHLQqai
130Please respect copyright.PENANAMXMJcwD8P2
Behind him—wreckage of the past.130Please respect copyright.PENANAo3eYaCaWXZ
Before him—a nameless exit.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1vUTGs8kZ8
130Please respect copyright.PENANAhB841SWiDR
"If I can't become him…130Please respect copyright.PENANAhaUGNw9F6y
and I can't just be myself…130Please respect copyright.PENANAVIGvLcfD9j
what is left of me?"130Please respect copyright.PENANA6QF9YkkSst
130Please respect copyright.PENANAdijKWsgJS2
"Memory," they said in unison.130Please respect copyright.PENANAShnWitr66I
130Please respect copyright.PENANAgA6D2P5Ck1
Not names.130Please respect copyright.PENANAmEFPJL16bE
Not roles.130Please respect copyright.PENANAivZlPTWHt5
But something heavier—130Please respect copyright.PENANAGrUfvgWVTd
A will strong enough to pierce time.130Please respect copyright.PENANA5deLzbT1F0
130Please respect copyright.PENANATdg3zvriIk
If names fade, let them.130Please respect copyright.PENANA7va6Cbv0NH
If roles collapse, stop defining them.130Please respect copyright.PENANAQq7190mwTA
130Please respect copyright.PENANAZfI73sM92S
"You don't need a name,"130Please respect copyright.PENANA4rHXERtszF
Yang An-Ting whispered.130Please respect copyright.PENANArRZj7ODEll
"Because now—you remember us."130Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ66FFrXt9
130Please respect copyright.PENANAXeGHP9n7HR
"You only need to keep walking,"130Please respect copyright.PENANAxCwc3RwW3w
Li An-Qing said next.130Please respect copyright.PENANAh8KRgYEzwi
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."130Please respect copyright.PENANAr3v9QGTFQY
130Please respect copyright.PENANA8FSlK8vqxW
The fractures began to close—130Please respect copyright.PENANAuEuIRNQp2c
Not as an end,130Please respect copyright.PENANAGorKUSHnwF
But as a silent reformation.130Please respect copyright.PENANAnol8MyGspa
130Please respect copyright.PENANAH9xgVRHDUg
Shattered timelines intertwined,130Please respect copyright.PENANAMJg8X6ME6l
Forming a new path—130Please respect copyright.PENANApowD7KO4nM
Free of judgment,130Please respect copyright.PENANAZVYtIBjwhB
Free of labels,130Please respect copyright.PENANA2AzYTG9aLg
Free of the need to look back.130Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQILvBr5E
130Please respect copyright.PENANADIoNNoqxc9
It was—130Please respect copyright.PENANAhOGQU9AMtz
130Please respect copyright.PENANAxUuBj7LHVT
The third way.130Please respect copyright.PENANA6T80PtMepI

Not return.130Please respect copyright.PENANAgTPNWgRdqp
Not repetition.130Please respect copyright.PENANAGN3HI7eAr8
130Please respect copyright.PENANAPnbX2iEfjA
But—130Please respect copyright.PENANAuyOotivulw
130Please respect copyright.PENANAq4rydhKiDq
A future with no name.
