The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.151Please respect copyright.PENANAVNq1f25QWY
151Please respect copyright.PENANA5LXbg0EA3J
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"151Please respect copyright.PENANAIaFpkpgwQX
151Please respect copyright.PENANApSrYwcBDhF
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.151Please respect copyright.PENANAHGJlt4VdrT
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.151Please respect copyright.PENANAIIgjx6W7LB
Was it himself? A residue?151Please respect copyright.PENANA5LhJgzKGSc
Or a ghost never chosen?151Please respect copyright.PENANA57S9nAF03L
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJwSugE7KwN
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.151Please respect copyright.PENANAcUVZxp1mZ1
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."151Please respect copyright.PENANAT0PwuKcOrn
151Please respect copyright.PENANAhly9YCm9wb
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.151Please respect copyright.PENANAY8mh21Rk8F
151Please respect copyright.PENANAcuP3of5gWE
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"151Please respect copyright.PENANA4a77KUFVfC
151Please respect copyright.PENANAbX5Cn0g3AO
He gave no answer.151Please respect copyright.PENANAFcutk2idB9
151Please respect copyright.PENANAh77yJ8L0lt
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.151Please respect copyright.PENANAvm5MLmkTt7
The posture was his, the scars too.151Please respect copyright.PENANAv5W57xFnd0
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.151Please respect copyright.PENANA32bUWU0snY
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.151Please respect copyright.PENANALtVUOXBjSs
151Please respect copyright.PENANAiAOoahyx9P
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"151Please respect copyright.PENANA68df1NxQf8
The voice pressed closer.151Please respect copyright.PENANAKoUIEOATwo
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."151Please respect copyright.PENANAuaMepETwEk
151Please respect copyright.PENANAIG2xSpuymT
He turned away.151Please respect copyright.PENANAnDlZ5AAsHk
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.151Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1TIRn3Til
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.151Please respect copyright.PENANAvmgNqqqIp3
151Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDSbNC03c
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.151Please respect copyright.PENANAY3imeEPq9u
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."151Please respect copyright.PENANAIh4FEtLrx3
151Please respect copyright.PENANA2EPScRKLqy
"Then—choose."151Please respect copyright.PENANAOpULZvEv4t
151Please respect copyright.PENANAe72vWqJVsR
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.151Please respect copyright.PENANASUlliCCZkU
He didn't look back.151Please respect copyright.PENANAFWcdOYmwvU
He knew nothing would be there.151Please respect copyright.PENANAF6jHbvi8cS
And yet, he heard it.151Please respect copyright.PENANAGzT5tSfjLu
151Please respect copyright.PENANAeUqEcgSaG2
"Choose which one of you will remain."151Please respect copyright.PENANA7gWbPnAN2O
151Please respect copyright.PENANAoLCoOqpUxG
He clenched his fists.151Please respect copyright.PENANAhmevwmipul
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,151Please respect copyright.PENANABDzfj7Ixm8
Too real to abandon,151Please respect copyright.PENANAO0JeJ10KQa
Too entangled to claim.151Please respect copyright.PENANA4zLchZzaWb
151Please respect copyright.PENANAIfGGYoeC2G
"What if I don't want to be either?"151Please respect copyright.PENANA7gKxQ0n8rs
He asked the air, voice hoarse.151Please respect copyright.PENANAM5nURZIoT2
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlKI0wQRYc4
"Then become—151Please respect copyright.PENANAGSf379KA3R
the memory that survived the collapse."151Please respect copyright.PENANAmZrdttu769
151Please respect copyright.PENANAy2XGnS5uJY
The mirror cracked.151Please respect copyright.PENANA0VlXmEGTWy
151Please respect copyright.PENANAxjR2jKc9kL
Not from pressure.151Please respect copyright.PENANArVq4TZk0LF
Not from sound.151Please respect copyright.PENANANN8imUP2to
151Please respect copyright.PENANASnqFdCvM3N
But from time.151Please respect copyright.PENANAKzoX3XHRYF
151Please respect copyright.PENANApnYbSvuFnu
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:151Please respect copyright.PENANAGg5fLAgLkm
They had never truly been separate.151Please respect copyright.PENANAXAvq6GsiGV
And now, they could never fully merge.151Please respect copyright.PENANArrhktf7tKd
151Please respect copyright.PENANAh2bElSWpUV
They could only—151Please respect copyright.PENANAAgjTcj56Di
151Please respect copyright.PENANAylSIET6JRy
Overlay.151Please respect copyright.PENANAfgIKxwUnKK
Fracture.151Please respect copyright.PENANAoc5V6IIOkp
Echo.151Please respect copyright.PENANAXUJKZNqz7T

151Please respect copyright.PENANAOySAdDJCkI
Reflections That Do Not Return151Please respect copyright.PENANA3pQLxMjATB
151Please respect copyright.PENANAzT0MdA33GE
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.151Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ac4LlmDNY
151Please respect copyright.PENANArIS8NAXjcI
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—151Please respect copyright.PENANACBiChaVm8F
A different version of himself emerged:151Please respect copyright.PENANAn3M0GfMIn0
Some young, some aged.151Please respect copyright.PENANA7XKUXNBoZd
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.151Please respect copyright.PENANAYsv5WLQf8j
151Please respect copyright.PENANAv7QhFvsLqQ
"Are these… all me?"151Please respect copyright.PENANA6YTWzQTEAH
151Please respect copyright.PENANATkvA5M3JeZ
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,151Please respect copyright.PENANAcvx7AFEoZl
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?151Please respect copyright.PENANA1qxNuwX6h2
151Please respect copyright.PENANA9D6LXUjTTC
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.151Please respect copyright.PENANAv8ZR6wAiog
But it reflected not the room—151Please respect copyright.PENANAFNF6JJTCxE
151Please respect copyright.PENANApW9HSXZC6r
It reflected time:151Please respect copyright.PENANARna84gkq05
151Please respect copyright.PENANAeWYt7vMdvJ
A Friday dusk,151Please respect copyright.PENANAVeb7mOdf78
A Tuesday's echo,151Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJawGbyv4
The moment the cross appeared,151Please respect copyright.PENANAOuX9MHzjeb
And the last turn of her figure.151Please respect copyright.PENANAehrqc893Vg
151Please respect copyright.PENANAKXfkzmxZ1C
"You didn't choose an identity,"151Please respect copyright.PENANANt2eSlJfZ5
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.151Please respect copyright.PENANAeZruKeQPEm
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,151Please respect copyright.PENANA0YA5IH5K4Q
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.151Please respect copyright.PENANAei8FIogIiI
151Please respect copyright.PENANA67wvKepcuU
"You chose the version of yourself—151Please respect copyright.PENANAZuAyizdi3x
that could survive."151Please respect copyright.PENANAL53NBetgQx
151Please respect copyright.PENANAdx1BinJJtt
He stared at the fragments.151Please respect copyright.PENANAoIPVKfYjcM
Each one, a future with no return.151Please respect copyright.PENANAIccA1jIpdt
151Please respect copyright.PENANAqLLYodiiWH
"And what if… I choose nothing?"151Please respect copyright.PENANABjmvUcUCI2
He asked, barely audible.151Please respect copyright.PENANASWjWyk1cDr
151Please respect copyright.PENANA9q6gnT65Wq
"Then you'll be trapped—151Please respect copyright.PENANAvyEJ07LtpR
within this fracture,151Please respect copyright.PENANAoB7ELXfXm1
until the next cycle calls you back."151Please respect copyright.PENANAf9t98KN0WZ
151Please respect copyright.PENANA58OIFpph7c
Silence again.151Please respect copyright.PENANAuSRGCJP3pQ
151Please respect copyright.PENANAHi7MsY9eze
Then he whispered:151Please respect copyright.PENANAaXe77VL5Fd
151Please respect copyright.PENANAkXQJWeVGMF
"I don't want to wake up again…151Please respect copyright.PENANA5tl44PG4T7
if waking means forgetting her."151Please respect copyright.PENANA3p2oc8UiTC
151Please respect copyright.PENANA0WXZUO5iMh
The mirror flickered.151Please respect copyright.PENANA4F2BnUTePV
151Please respect copyright.PENANA053CRorh9L
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—151Please respect copyright.PENANAj3wbKUM2PB
151Please respect copyright.PENANAAl88mih0T8
"You'll forget what I said,"151Please respect copyright.PENANAPPO0LXDM9v
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…151Please respect copyright.PENANAgZwFHOobrA
and that I never left."151Please respect copyright.PENANAWVE0rfWDGl
151Please respect copyright.PENANATd15LfXmBV
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.151Please respect copyright.PENANAErUKdHXJVj
The eternity hidden within Friday.151Please respect copyright.PENANAgShOPk266Y
151Please respect copyright.PENANAZXkNw2Z2Ra
No ticking clock,151Please respect copyright.PENANAvD0IlxUObr
No urgency.151Please respect copyright.PENANAQAyUdASGCc
151Please respect copyright.PENANAwy9GUGehXk
Only breath—151Please respect copyright.PENANAs8M7XBDHiu
And something deeper still:151Please respect copyright.PENANA0NX9Jl1NKq
The echo of his own heartbeat,151Please respect copyright.PENANAZE4GGyeMY9
splintering across time.151Please respect copyright.PENANAGoSvoRM7SX
151Please respect copyright.PENANA3IUXnikGpK
A single crack stretched across the floor,151Please respect copyright.PENANAKlATFZ2XL4
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.151Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZVkQAUMdy
151Please respect copyright.PENANAiSlcPtrrOa
One wrong step,151Please respect copyright.PENANAbDHKEqL6SF
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.151Please respect copyright.PENANA2e9aUf5KT0
151Please respect copyright.PENANAUzgOIKPfJC
He knelt and picked up a shard.151Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5bMwJbvyJ
Its surface stirred memory—151Please respect copyright.PENANAALCjyOyHVR
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.151Please respect copyright.PENANAnaXa5Nc4Fv
151Please respect copyright.PENANAryu5R2i6tB
"He said he'd come back… He promised."151Please respect copyright.PENANAcz8vj3pOXG
151Please respect copyright.PENANAbc4PX5ZyTV
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—151Please respect copyright.PENANAGMCmq4CNAS
Young, certain, full of hope.151Please respect copyright.PENANAewI1AFvBLc
151Please respect copyright.PENANAcabieURF5A
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,151Please respect copyright.PENANAFhqFYifhL7
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.151Please respect copyright.PENANAxkHWKmIVPC
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:151Please respect copyright.PENANA4gO1g3z8Rt
2025.2.19 // 28:01151Please respect copyright.PENANA7hqpZt2xrk
151Please respect copyright.PENANAd01m2KMv6A
She whispered—151Please respect copyright.PENANAoTMItbf0YS
151Please respect copyright.PENANAx4bpv39cX5
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.151Please respect copyright.PENANAx4LrEZwRGc
It's meant—for choosing."151Please respect copyright.PENANAKXzKqGeUtF
151Please respect copyright.PENANAB0kXyeewyS
Something within him stirred—151Please respect copyright.PENANA1sDB44o3vu
First gentle,151Please respect copyright.PENANA8c5Yp76SgL
Then forceful,151Please respect copyright.PENANAAj9luebcOH
Almost irresistible.151Please respect copyright.PENANAgJvvs9IIu0
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlqm3SbD6KH
A pull born of her voice,151Please respect copyright.PENANAAy3bMrfPuU
Of her silence,151Please respect copyright.PENANAy5d70KD5XI
Of every name forgotten by time.151Please respect copyright.PENANAhBrbBVCmQS
151Please respect copyright.PENANAy06usY5bKK
"Then… how do I choose?"151Please respect copyright.PENANABTPQa1YRmB
He asked not the mirror now,151Please respect copyright.PENANAvHlXSzMyVC
But the entire world.151Please respect copyright.PENANAAyEzlADHZv
151Please respect copyright.PENANAw5yfXoSWyy
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,151Please respect copyright.PENANAM8hOm4W3w8
"was never the answer—151Please respect copyright.PENANAnaC0NuXJbW
only the cost."151Please respect copyright.PENANAK80mRztwpu
151Please respect copyright.PENANAnsxFN7Lpyn
He opened his eyes.151Please respect copyright.PENANAB6G9H0tCRT
151Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gx3xZqqEh
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—151Please respect copyright.PENANAkxDQGc4MAQ
An ending already written,151Please respect copyright.PENANA4YX8VijX4I
Yet never spoken.151Please respect copyright.PENANAgAVScbXCfk

You Remember Too Much151Please respect copyright.PENANAAJoSNENPRK
151Please respect copyright.PENANAaWGJIceNut
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,151Please respect copyright.PENANAdTxAcoBIxn
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.151Please respect copyright.PENANAWo1bqfUCGU
So now, only one question remains:151Please respect copyright.PENANA6R8IMnnlRI
151Please respect copyright.PENANAU6QbpYpGv6
Who will you remain for?"151Please respect copyright.PENANAFBEQbCFtu8
151Please respect copyright.PENANAgzkvf8PQIW
"You've always remembered,"151Please respect copyright.PENANANE9Gm1bRNY
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.151Please respect copyright.PENANArP8W0DDamf
151Please respect copyright.PENANAAGpvyvdG6S
"You just didn't want to admit it."151Please respect copyright.PENANAZMLBRrayli
151Please respect copyright.PENANAnu60jSCXKT
"And you've never truly let go,"151Please respect copyright.PENANABwSRvqClUV
Li An-Qing's voice followed,151Please respect copyright.PENANA0S0Fr1ockU
Like light after the rain.151Please respect copyright.PENANAKkIGbdUMia
151Please respect copyright.PENANAjokZwG71FP
"Because you know—151Please respect copyright.PENANAIOSHdWsENq
this was never yours to end."151Please respect copyright.PENANA48aMKZr9o4
151Please respect copyright.PENANA8w4xB9NkWG
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.151Please respect copyright.PENANAlLTx8Crcex
151Please respect copyright.PENANADFGwscuc9y
Behind him—wreckage of the past.151Please respect copyright.PENANAssV0VOKfZy
Before him—a nameless exit.151Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ1lEzsSnb
151Please respect copyright.PENANAPMJB1lgxPn
"If I can't become him…151Please respect copyright.PENANAmStycJsI4d
and I can't just be myself…151Please respect copyright.PENANA94nbHrKMzF
what is left of me?"151Please respect copyright.PENANANUsmTDpBoV
151Please respect copyright.PENANA83ehUVQUf9
"Memory," they said in unison.151Please respect copyright.PENANAwiHAVRTOzN
151Please respect copyright.PENANAT5R7uS0Tqc
Not names.151Please respect copyright.PENANABrCMJ4vSVK
Not roles.151Please respect copyright.PENANAl5P9p0xjai
But something heavier—151Please respect copyright.PENANA31xmhovFNy
A will strong enough to pierce time.151Please respect copyright.PENANAeaFW6nDDVS
151Please respect copyright.PENANApaOaGIOEI6
If names fade, let them.151Please respect copyright.PENANAc9dUO79R0j
If roles collapse, stop defining them.151Please respect copyright.PENANAKwgJY7O5SL
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEsECeq9J3X
"You don't need a name,"151Please respect copyright.PENANAMRTsDug84f
Yang An-Ting whispered.151Please respect copyright.PENANAxKOMk6UtXn
"Because now—you remember us."151Please respect copyright.PENANAYyywXjrmyz
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFI2d1ZDQBR
"You only need to keep walking,"151Please respect copyright.PENANAN1FlRsOuSI
Li An-Qing said next.151Please respect copyright.PENANAFQZvoPtlhJ
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."151Please respect copyright.PENANAMoQJI0Dzdz
151Please respect copyright.PENANAaEr3LXUJy5
The fractures began to close—151Please respect copyright.PENANAUw1lxSA2Id
Not as an end,151Please respect copyright.PENANAxNkyFRqQhy
But as a silent reformation.151Please respect copyright.PENANAqn8HtH6q3d
151Please respect copyright.PENANAsrX9UZvhGX
Shattered timelines intertwined,151Please respect copyright.PENANArkEXK6JF2Y
Forming a new path—151Please respect copyright.PENANAuwkvJ1IyWA
Free of judgment,151Please respect copyright.PENANAPCyVYnJjcw
Free of labels,151Please respect copyright.PENANAUmqV9bvzPF
Free of the need to look back.151Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6tvNMGrX
151Please respect copyright.PENANAErNZ6unFJa
It was—151Please respect copyright.PENANA7TQMqqIVBx
151Please respect copyright.PENANAmTZP5RpHG9
The third way.151Please respect copyright.PENANAXs5LV3MGyD

151Please respect copyright.PENANAflDv5nl4Nf
But—151Please respect copyright.PENANAMmZf4UwXTe
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYOwL0ilspI
A future with no name.
