The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.127Please respect copyright.PENANADKEBSx4VXq
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0F9HhGrYby
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAvWim9P3OBZ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAo8angMNG2q
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.127Please respect copyright.PENANAJPYFk42MmW
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9h4YDE3tUJ
Was it himself? A residue?127Please respect copyright.PENANA1IZ3kJJ109
Or a ghost never chosen?127Please respect copyright.PENANAVOkpaZgp72
127Please respect copyright.PENANAds4YXSoban
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9SLb9wd4EE
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."127Please respect copyright.PENANAfFcsbBJdeT
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZbUtrCXSbk
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.127Please respect copyright.PENANAiMVoXcPhVg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAVRXwZNgxOl
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAISyvtvVmVO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAhWaIYseUGJ
He gave no answer.127Please respect copyright.PENANAkJYs2bkhd2
127Please respect copyright.PENANAolTtoewFK9
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.127Please respect copyright.PENANAGXjLKx1Kx6
The posture was his, the scars too.127Please respect copyright.PENANABXPMyBAngN
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.127Please respect copyright.PENANA6cQt25Qton
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAN80UeEhEc5
127Please respect copyright.PENANAMs3JyJOcwz
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAHIOWK0kpOe
The voice pressed closer.127Please respect copyright.PENANAgCy9ItF5dS
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."127Please respect copyright.PENANAW9Az6Cx17c
127Please respect copyright.PENANA0EJahh4D3v
He turned away.127Please respect copyright.PENANANMMhc55Sti
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.127Please respect copyright.PENANAF4hA2X7AUf
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhKirA3c3Kk
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnJe0RLcwnn
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.127Please respect copyright.PENANAlZzm0Jo1Sw
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."127Please respect copyright.PENANAUmhrLL74tK
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiewxIlu3xy
"Then—choose."127Please respect copyright.PENANAkq3ohdDFKl
127Please respect copyright.PENANArx7RgmOrFV
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.127Please respect copyright.PENANAemVMXSwtDT
He didn't look back.127Please respect copyright.PENANAknpgmbILTP
He knew nothing would be there.127Please respect copyright.PENANAtASHVEY8De
And yet, he heard it.127Please respect copyright.PENANAAG7pdLzps8
127Please respect copyright.PENANAM3FlEmJwLK
"Choose which one of you will remain."127Please respect copyright.PENANAKmmv65nUPy
127Please respect copyright.PENANANuA1jx7OuL
He clenched his fists.127Please respect copyright.PENANArFtPufs6cp
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,127Please respect copyright.PENANAmD2UMQRo94
Too real to abandon,127Please respect copyright.PENANAQHWDj3oNQh
Too entangled to claim.127Please respect copyright.PENANAyPdYeTlCRm
127Please respect copyright.PENANAJaZeRk93hL
"What if I don't want to be either?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAURZXVfBiYj
He asked the air, voice hoarse.127Please respect copyright.PENANAGGD6lq2FMp
127Please respect copyright.PENANA7JgwtSH7zj
"Then become—127Please respect copyright.PENANAhwtsaFQXJT
the memory that survived the collapse."127Please respect copyright.PENANAmDgSu0GaVY
127Please respect copyright.PENANAFjQrK4FwNK
The mirror cracked.127Please respect copyright.PENANAT7H1nvhZC1
127Please respect copyright.PENANA9AF0B7OM4x
Not from pressure.127Please respect copyright.PENANACHZfN9VAGZ
Not from sound.127Please respect copyright.PENANAHhWmr1lDTF
127Please respect copyright.PENANADfjkVDmJMH
But from time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAPt1j06HFLN
127Please respect copyright.PENANA87uNDHQuRb
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:127Please respect copyright.PENANAgcDTdnPStU
They had never truly been separate.127Please respect copyright.PENANA1qeFV2Omxl
And now, they could never fully merge.127Please respect copyright.PENANANQQi398u4X
127Please respect copyright.PENANAIdlHiRT5gf
They could only—127Please respect copyright.PENANAZzG6zyfpX1
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlRT7xFwzGZ
Overlay.127Please respect copyright.PENANAMAS3EJwLxa
Fracture.127Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Kqv2A6BX
Echo.127Please respect copyright.PENANAVHohc0Pvsa

Reflections That Do Not Return127Please respect copyright.PENANARJFXAqSTnx
127Please respect copyright.PENANALDZE89bDEK
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhvXp0mba48
127Please respect copyright.PENANAvlhnTQ1yqX
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—127Please respect copyright.PENANAeUNC0rrRsK
A different version of himself emerged:127Please respect copyright.PENANATijq1IaNxa
Some young, some aged.127Please respect copyright.PENANAY0a4vyWs1t
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.127Please respect copyright.PENANAQGyrzglIUH
127Please respect copyright.PENANATqeLOZZAU4
"Are these… all me?"127Please respect copyright.PENANA7C8CILMw9b
127Please respect copyright.PENANAi4MYSxMKqD
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,127Please respect copyright.PENANApiCeluCscE
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?127Please respect copyright.PENANACf27MhQeMa
127Please respect copyright.PENANASTu87l6fO2
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.127Please respect copyright.PENANAbYUZKIzn3l
But it reflected not the room—127Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ixchkZwC
127Please respect copyright.PENANA23NRx4efTo
It reflected time:127Please respect copyright.PENANAc0SAjfwydW
127Please respect copyright.PENANAC70wwiqSRZ
A Friday dusk,127Please respect copyright.PENANA52yyrz8zNJ
A Tuesday's echo,127Please respect copyright.PENANAVE20Jzha9x
The moment the cross appeared,127Please respect copyright.PENANA7MK0BA1A8q
And the last turn of her figure.127Please respect copyright.PENANA0PgZEWv0Ca
127Please respect copyright.PENANAiPUmUmkyrn
"You didn't choose an identity,"127Please respect copyright.PENANAhVtVYUPCL9
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.127Please respect copyright.PENANABDx9OXzy9t
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,127Please respect copyright.PENANAZAX9dCM4PH
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.127Please respect copyright.PENANAHMLC8sqJDx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPsIxBSZmM6
"You chose the version of yourself—127Please respect copyright.PENANANHqmHVNNl4
that could survive."127Please respect copyright.PENANAtTkIJqMKIg
127Please respect copyright.PENANAl48GBOwdJj
He stared at the fragments.127Please respect copyright.PENANADVnYUs8PVF
Each one, a future with no return.127Please respect copyright.PENANAwBvUpBrvsx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWdOtTLtKFu
"And what if… I choose nothing?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAWmFQZ5a9da
He asked, barely audible.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4TjbfvCbBx
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXwMLZ8P2vw
"Then you'll be trapped—127Please respect copyright.PENANA7NrqCgxf0j
within this fracture,127Please respect copyright.PENANAxViscF3zV6
until the next cycle calls you back."127Please respect copyright.PENANAdOaLYLO0wd
127Please respect copyright.PENANAksskjF9Lwc
Silence again.127Please respect copyright.PENANAIL9pabZINA
127Please respect copyright.PENANA112UYWh79N
Then he whispered:127Please respect copyright.PENANAKq6sNKlb8z
127Please respect copyright.PENANAmFUdwa58TZ
"I don't want to wake up again…127Please respect copyright.PENANAW6BNzuNd38
if waking means forgetting her."127Please respect copyright.PENANAZc81dPUNOJ
127Please respect copyright.PENANAUzxKpYo0B5
The mirror flickered.127Please respect copyright.PENANAzXraYeFIii
127Please respect copyright.PENANAA0CCRUg6mf
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—127Please respect copyright.PENANAjVXXhyuxvL
127Please respect copyright.PENANAoreajLpKiz
"You'll forget what I said,"127Please respect copyright.PENANAPVJeoRc0Lb
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…127Please respect copyright.PENANAZNTtd50eOQ
and that I never left."127Please respect copyright.PENANANLBl8MrsWz
127Please respect copyright.PENANAtUYakgzOnz
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.127Please respect copyright.PENANAfpYYqabFtL
The eternity hidden within Friday.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4TFOrHajEh
127Please respect copyright.PENANAubIJJwwDCw
No ticking clock,127Please respect copyright.PENANALkM4XOPry6
No urgency.127Please respect copyright.PENANA9CHOXIbnrs
127Please respect copyright.PENANADH4RxQqRXP
Only breath—127Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ACCZXlSI
And something deeper still:127Please respect copyright.PENANAm5uEcslyIp
The echo of his own heartbeat,127Please respect copyright.PENANApqqWIERhuB
splintering across time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5CqVJ7TeW
127Please respect copyright.PENANAV14UqiIUek
A single crack stretched across the floor,127Please respect copyright.PENANAnVHmbRKEgZ
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.127Please respect copyright.PENANAyvLhl0yYRy
127Please respect copyright.PENANADp4PX855dy
One wrong step,127Please respect copyright.PENANAHwT8T9pDFI
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.127Please respect copyright.PENANAwxYlrF8RBo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAPpI62FCaTN
He knelt and picked up a shard.127Please respect copyright.PENANA45ZqqbecOM
Its surface stirred memory—127Please respect copyright.PENANAb2CzOv6ZY7
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.127Please respect copyright.PENANAFUp5noLQzP
127Please respect copyright.PENANAcCpHWMwip9
"He said he'd come back… He promised."127Please respect copyright.PENANA9OnbDtxmlo
127Please respect copyright.PENANACYlUyZa6S3
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—127Please respect copyright.PENANAwJGCeRtvIg
Young, certain, full of hope.127Please respect copyright.PENANAiDeuhlhjk1
127Please respect copyright.PENANA2KECwu68NP
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,127Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Keval7w2
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.127Please respect copyright.PENANAYeGlhx7VGD
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:127Please respect copyright.PENANAcpCzcH0JJt
2025.2.19 // 28:01127Please respect copyright.PENANAuQSID1rTd7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlRsI2BzMjw
She whispered—127Please respect copyright.PENANAdVK6utQRlo
127Please respect copyright.PENANAuGabubhsvf
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.127Please respect copyright.PENANABdQiIGpnii
It's meant—for choosing."127Please respect copyright.PENANACAEVY3cZP3
127Please respect copyright.PENANAktAK5HcSPi
Something within him stirred—127Please respect copyright.PENANAi9tlj4ictA
First gentle,127Please respect copyright.PENANA0gEfXQQx81
Then forceful,127Please respect copyright.PENANAz7f2YQTnq7
Almost irresistible.127Please respect copyright.PENANAy2um8IFiQy
127Please respect copyright.PENANAv668dUZ0Yy
A pull born of her voice,127Please respect copyright.PENANAaM9LqEiHbr
Of her silence,127Please respect copyright.PENANAVJNCJZAdCo
Of every name forgotten by time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAhYpJ94GerP
127Please respect copyright.PENANAh2l6TuqD9f
"Then… how do I choose?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAbJIMS1jiAB
He asked not the mirror now,127Please respect copyright.PENANA9ybGKLXJct
But the entire world.127Please respect copyright.PENANAoPMhDt2Au9
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6R14XuJUfh
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,127Please respect copyright.PENANA6hTSRFED6W
"was never the answer—127Please respect copyright.PENANANMisz05Jss
only the cost."127Please respect copyright.PENANA9WOd7gVTYr
127Please respect copyright.PENANAWlAQxKtuIQ
He opened his eyes.127Please respect copyright.PENANAR8NUskWJAO
127Please respect copyright.PENANAR1LYN18Qll
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—127Please respect copyright.PENANAUp7p3AbjJ4
An ending already written,127Please respect copyright.PENANAK5WYIHusYt
Yet never spoken.127Please respect copyright.PENANApKyf2oGzCR

You Remember Too Much127Please respect copyright.PENANAqnaAFOqe3X
127Please respect copyright.PENANA44dYmWpMOE
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,127Please respect copyright.PENANA4fHsw29TH3
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.127Please respect copyright.PENANAyhSxvvDKdj
So now, only one question remains:127Please respect copyright.PENANAOGKvluEmCl
127Please respect copyright.PENANAnp0XqOyJwj
Who will you remain for?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAZPX5Alqcf1
127Please respect copyright.PENANA5cjbzhkBLz
"You've always remembered,"127Please respect copyright.PENANARd1irCzYaF
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.127Please respect copyright.PENANAKblPmQjDJ7
127Please respect copyright.PENANAut1tJgvaKC
"You just didn't want to admit it."127Please respect copyright.PENANA1PpFduaPfP
127Please respect copyright.PENANAgo30HrMBJv
"And you've never truly let go,"127Please respect copyright.PENANAGqlE9nMs24
Li An-Qing's voice followed,127Please respect copyright.PENANA8Oq5fDu941
Like light after the rain.127Please respect copyright.PENANAoiz9daa1ap
127Please respect copyright.PENANAXfUekegn5v
"Because you know—127Please respect copyright.PENANAXFQ8Ovw7u6
this was never yours to end."127Please respect copyright.PENANABZqNuOUfuS
127Please respect copyright.PENANAlfFyZ3SGxe
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.127Please respect copyright.PENANAexjpMnqt1K
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqdd44fbXy4
Behind him—wreckage of the past.127Please respect copyright.PENANA4t3v6teRGP
Before him—a nameless exit.127Please respect copyright.PENANAjnYSQa0uVB
127Please respect copyright.PENANArZoCr2OuNm
"If I can't become him…127Please respect copyright.PENANASH4nLLmuwX
and I can't just be myself…127Please respect copyright.PENANAOiiXQmw4Q8
what is left of me?"127Please respect copyright.PENANAy0oQacH5IL
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbhmXsZcbAL
"Memory," they said in unison.127Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mqn3Ddz8B
127Please respect copyright.PENANA6H2iPaNXKd
Not names.127Please respect copyright.PENANAh8sQm2wEfS
Not roles.127Please respect copyright.PENANA95RyU32pxl
But something heavier—127Please respect copyright.PENANAYmdUzDvA2q
A will strong enough to pierce time.127Please respect copyright.PENANAnVX6sYIRjx
127Please respect copyright.PENANABZ5Abo5z0H
If names fade, let them.127Please respect copyright.PENANAeGwXbqnj0V
If roles collapse, stop defining them.127Please respect copyright.PENANATJReOAbXl0
127Please respect copyright.PENANALP0tVxq8dz
"You don't need a name,"127Please respect copyright.PENANAeX7GvfYH4g
Yang An-Ting whispered.127Please respect copyright.PENANA45RUF19EPe
"Because now—you remember us."127Please respect copyright.PENANApTQFlqFd7F
127Please respect copyright.PENANAqcfaI8cX8i
"You only need to keep walking,"127Please respect copyright.PENANAVrTuv7G9F3
Li An-Qing said next.127Please respect copyright.PENANAGLUMeTbs2i
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."127Please respect copyright.PENANAcoydS1jLUA
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZXjHI5MJAK
The fractures began to close—127Please respect copyright.PENANAVglkHTlIm9
Not as an end,127Please respect copyright.PENANAGp25ffxQ3F
But as a silent reformation.127Please respect copyright.PENANAFhE9aLhaya
127Please respect copyright.PENANAZI1Wn3HEIV
Shattered timelines intertwined,127Please respect copyright.PENANAEFXBdSpB7J
Forming a new path—127Please respect copyright.PENANAhps3x3dbxJ
Free of judgment,127Please respect copyright.PENANAoxL20DjjQH
Free of labels,127Please respect copyright.PENANAvpiZydF1YW
Free of the need to look back.127Please respect copyright.PENANAD7dxP2FkNM
127Please respect copyright.PENANAE2nsIyTID6

127Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZqLwVAC8M
The third way.127Please respect copyright.PENANAnugolFyLJH

127Please respect copyright.PENANAmYo9msoSgX
But—127Please respect copyright.PENANAJMi5vYjO5H
127Please respect copyright.PENANAbQchr8CQ9m
A future with no name.
