He returned to the precinct.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9V35YHWKW
No one had called him.No one expected him.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIYC4QrwH3
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywxyeA0GJS
As though nothing had happened.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2pedtEk6j
Someone whispered:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYMXTBFLCh
"Weren't you still on medical—?"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcKFNftHqB
He smiled.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXw4M5I8I

Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHse0aMf3Fz

He requested the past three months of duty logs.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS3Z5XUBv3
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNlACMxN6
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDftiJ9rGJ
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pTrbvEHs7
He went quiet.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULkIxqXAcY
Then, softly:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDC5Ru3TVx
"…That wasn't me."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4FdlKWwd1
That night, in his notebook:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNalKUj9sn
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJNNfaqu0
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fTq4f7U8T
I only thought I was the original.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqDUmvFq9o
I was never meant to appear.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIKYll7T7Y
I'm the one interfering with his integration.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgGfKSWun

He locked himself in an unused office.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxgQCMeWu
No lights. No movement.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdE8l10Kx
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdDqn9te1
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64lGQR0u8r
His notebook lay open.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYDFajFwTZ
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURwPkb4Tv

He could no longer write.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmenjuiWv
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTo0G7S3GR
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6LrSklG01
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRgx4xgFc
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ECRkAB0hV
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVfYOWQCnl
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuRtLRO5z6

Friday, November 22nd59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrvmevzR9N
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxALzrAi1dk
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVkV42uELd
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSi7PIZsY3
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2360jCfdt
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlFhVZnOlV
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47l6hhTJ1
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6VGeexVML

Tuesday, December 3rd59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDDJO9MvrS
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ61nnRhP3
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc5CaRdoQZ
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGihCAi2x5
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLdOUlkBOe
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa8219dKxX
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xe8IvoyVl
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPns6oACUk
The wall now bore a carved outline:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSxopPf8R1
A cross.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetzLs30sqf

Anqing / Anting · Unspoken Dialogue in the Time Layer
It came not to him—but through him.
A flicker across the glass panel near the exit. A soft voice, not spoken aloud but resonating within the space behind his ears.
"You said… we'd see each other again, in a world without mirrors."
The voice was soft. Familiar. It did not belong to Zhang.
It belonged to someone who had once whispered to the wind beside the riverbank,and to another who had heard it—but in the wrong timeline.
The scene fractured.
Two girls stood beneath the fading light of a bus stop—their backs facing each other, yet somehow overlapping.
One held a folded piece of paper: a number sequence.The other, a piece of a poem—unfinished.
"If I forget you, do I forget the part of me that was most human?"
"No. You only forget the part that tried to survive."
Their words were not answers—but reflections. The kind time rarely returned.
Then—
A crack.
Reality restitched. Zhang's breath caught. He wasn't there.But they had been.And now, that echo lived in him too.

"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZAkhfyAGT
In his hand—59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHSgsqmuf
The triple cross.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm6fzcAodb

A witness said:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMAL24ydZ

He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TRlFPHOSJ
"Anting, I remember—your smile never showed your gums…""If the world gave us one more chance,I'd forget accounting.I'd be a poet."59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJRxzP1IT4
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrEHnqu5nU
