Tuesday, November 5th116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzH55AO0KV
He returned to the precinct.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm0N7I51XJ
No one had called him.No one expected him.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U9p35VNqX
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6sp8kpxRO
As though nothing had happened.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGqQT2IGKo
Someone whispered:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Wifag26Y
"Weren't you still on medical—?"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj0ZABeno1
He smiled.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY0eDxHT8q
His tone, clean and sharp:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPN8RkN8l
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAJyTgxGZC
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetrf0p7m4p
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovVjip8Otm
He left them blank.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcQqNdGeRw

16:23.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTdukoVywH
He requested the past three months of duty logs.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZppGTTnTXK
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0KEFWjsO
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkienzQ3D
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iOXYDuS9m
He went quiet.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHmCrsywi3
Then, softly:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WyNaDLfqr
"…That wasn't me."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kARBg6CUr
That night, in his notebook:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxcGTN100
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTpHEZ3uMY
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzpLCnb3bT
I only thought I was the original.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHRgnQKh3n
I was never meant to appear.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeMkiQTySW
I'm the one interfering with his integration.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLZOLGIfnJ
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ7XkQ7xac

Friday, November 8th116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvpUQxX4oK
He locked himself in an unused office.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqZFGXvfEp
No lights. No movement.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuLrKU4wJE
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnOGlWJuTw
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh8tFh02zZ
His notebook lay open.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPun5rBLZo
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZx3xVWVIn
12.17116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ut0CY5yN
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH7zpSBq0G
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcaOLyf1bR

Tuesday, November 19th116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFtm9aQ8se
He could no longer write.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOhP3Y3UmF
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRnNVzPvYw
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6TqQE8or3
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxQwfE2S4K
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqqnveOav
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolHY5pQ7d9
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BWB43cOaX

Friday, November 22nd116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ056YSNWrDZ
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5UtsFo6nv
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9uskVgHCo
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf5K1rOae5
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FwotawWbH
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tqc1d4a7G
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pDNE28nkI
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd4ho4XlCs
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW12GRPiBk

Tuesday, December 3rd116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtdIhdz6bc
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eB4W8Ucj7
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3hVVzJCE8
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96DLSHHkpH
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXTQlbGnE
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66MyoAaGH
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7VEmuGYuk
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3w2VUVKcm
The wall now bore a carved outline:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLrmOjPy9
A cross.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLC8OZytx

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.

Back at his desk, he found a note:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCZWVQ9V5M
[You are about to recover everything.][Remember—it's not that you couldn't endure.It's that this world refused to let you remember.]116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLptsIk0lr
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjutbU1xzz5

Friday, December 6th116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdqYuYBJkL
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ZcW5Dkj9
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMtEeHnTZ
In his hand—116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPaqZKUqLM
The triple cross.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFve79oyE0
Its first real manifestation.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEWqA8ueyN
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iZsob9v0q
They said he left it in the archives that night.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxpPrTyY2n
By morning—it was gone.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwASqInDjj

Tuesday, December 13th116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KM5dMP4wA
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAuNzmrZWJ
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrR3d0CeLy
A witness said:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jcd9YsW1
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qno5oKYaY
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFepmr4PoXN
"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."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfVFsTneVR
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWDWwTyDjX
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivIPa3gX6y

Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpJCFdig1
"AAN.112. Integration."116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnp4moUfSX
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTmHdkt9JS

And disappeared.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSepnhp7lK
