The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.64Please respect copyright.PENANAitdBTiJITB
64Please respect copyright.PENANAEUNehNOsod
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"64Please respect copyright.PENANA99w1ktLhLk
64Please respect copyright.PENANAN48d3G754x
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.64Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGovPXZld
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.64Please respect copyright.PENANACUOkDDsLsl
Was it himself? A residue?64Please respect copyright.PENANAdo0rGHt7G5
Or a ghost never chosen?64Please respect copyright.PENANAmzY0a28INI
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1eF26E2YJr
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.64Please respect copyright.PENANAa2IGyYQLcA
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."64Please respect copyright.PENANAsyBX3mjpRD
64Please respect copyright.PENANA5iWPlygyx6
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.64Please respect copyright.PENANAUJKgZtBlBg
64Please respect copyright.PENANAUPvnJ18v24
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"64Please respect copyright.PENANAr5x14TpoV9
64Please respect copyright.PENANANofbTwOdQi
He gave no answer.64Please respect copyright.PENANAzG5QA7IWzS
64Please respect copyright.PENANApUYvB65JQ6
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.64Please respect copyright.PENANAEcJRiEWqDV
The posture was his, the scars too.64Please respect copyright.PENANAb0TG4JA6bL
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.64Please respect copyright.PENANA0c77yPXEqb
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.64Please respect copyright.PENANAKtDUoVRjdL
64Please respect copyright.PENANAPISha7zdZy
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"64Please respect copyright.PENANAdHMgX3eQJa
The voice pressed closer.64Please respect copyright.PENANAGJh31bZYtZ
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."64Please respect copyright.PENANADswmxbtmo7
64Please respect copyright.PENANANQB1HKcgIt
He turned away.64Please respect copyright.PENANAZhg8OK2pRm
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.64Please respect copyright.PENANAuprMwVMMus
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.64Please respect copyright.PENANA0owSZGaRTK
64Please respect copyright.PENANALrJitTWlSY
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.64Please respect copyright.PENANAFNV6nZRakY
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."64Please respect copyright.PENANAvGhdGB07e2
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqIgqEVRiFg
"Then—choose."64Please respect copyright.PENANAvi6Lph5Ked
64Please respect copyright.PENANA3m1fzCs6hh
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.64Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ8HoF0xru
He didn't look back.64Please respect copyright.PENANAp2mcugFxO0
He knew nothing would be there.64Please respect copyright.PENANAhLsWZHe2Dk
And yet, he heard it.64Please respect copyright.PENANAIKwSsl2XF5
64Please respect copyright.PENANANEBvRm2CFF
"Choose which one of you will remain."64Please respect copyright.PENANAPrZsLUhD9l
64Please respect copyright.PENANAV4k7Cz9ETR
He clenched his fists.64Please respect copyright.PENANAIFQSooSpoY
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,64Please respect copyright.PENANAreUqoe6Of9
Too real to abandon,64Please respect copyright.PENANAp5NRprTzzM
Too entangled to claim.64Please respect copyright.PENANAc9IAqYbVLG
64Please respect copyright.PENANANAXWsMMomo
"What if I don't want to be either?"64Please respect copyright.PENANAQDO9Vwgxgn
He asked the air, voice hoarse.64Please respect copyright.PENANAlb6YyEwhcT
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxe6XAofLpF
"Then become—64Please respect copyright.PENANA2imkgGUhlk
the memory that survived the collapse."64Please respect copyright.PENANAawvmxIMYkB
64Please respect copyright.PENANAexlUQtE9tB
The mirror cracked.64Please respect copyright.PENANAfSoNBwRdOi
64Please respect copyright.PENANAljgYaZ5h0M
Not from pressure.64Please respect copyright.PENANAzQkMyoRdar
Not from sound.64Please respect copyright.PENANAEyQREymwKr
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxe72xDf2yh
But from time.64Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJzagto16
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoJVBHvBldv
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:64Please respect copyright.PENANAEO7NYVcxUi
They had never truly been separate.64Please respect copyright.PENANAMNSi0dE9KE
And now, they could never fully merge.64Please respect copyright.PENANAa5JsZkm3br
64Please respect copyright.PENANALTTbws7krQ
They could only—64Please respect copyright.PENANAwmhKIXEPdC
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1vEAryw30H
Overlay.64Please respect copyright.PENANAlP4vg5pjEl
Fracture.64Please respect copyright.PENANAmVoc6W1Nv1
Echo.64Please respect copyright.PENANAxmnhZd7nKK

Reflections That Do Not Return64Please respect copyright.PENANA8zTVl9G2Ti
64Please respect copyright.PENANAaWM4mPVS06
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.64Please respect copyright.PENANAyOW8W5ifVn
64Please respect copyright.PENANAjuoNW7kIqv
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—64Please respect copyright.PENANAQfFBGHEhOp
A different version of himself emerged:64Please respect copyright.PENANA4N9fcWn9KN
Some young, some aged.64Please respect copyright.PENANAnPq0nmtVNf
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.64Please respect copyright.PENANAB1MOx56OTB
64Please respect copyright.PENANArQ0ZeP39t7
"Are these… all me?"64Please respect copyright.PENANARjtoBQC1tC
64Please respect copyright.PENANABUuNO2PC9Y
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,64Please respect copyright.PENANAPJpuWKMaOh
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?64Please respect copyright.PENANASmgT19EZUm
64Please respect copyright.PENANA4pNoqhLwlU
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.64Please respect copyright.PENANAIZs3c3r8pG
But it reflected not the room—64Please respect copyright.PENANAhy4K4PMkap
64Please respect copyright.PENANAPJSin6Poj7
It reflected time:64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8gafg16Hi
64Please respect copyright.PENANAmm8DqCk05s
A Friday dusk,64Please respect copyright.PENANAuMPvrHmBea
A Tuesday's echo,64Please respect copyright.PENANAA5zbxx4FV5
The moment the cross appeared,64Please respect copyright.PENANAi2T1YVMwek
And the last turn of her figure.64Please respect copyright.PENANAotbU3luYjF
64Please respect copyright.PENANAioVDCDjlIy
"You didn't choose an identity,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7HerEpVJD
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.64Please respect copyright.PENANAAmdNWUHp0P
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,64Please respect copyright.PENANAINqyirxwGD
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.64Please respect copyright.PENANAAInI83ZEQ7
64Please respect copyright.PENANApuYhOB1gFi
"You chose the version of yourself—64Please respect copyright.PENANASEJFHSqwrw
that could survive."64Please respect copyright.PENANAzWsSafYKGt
64Please respect copyright.PENANAFp0KCIJ28L
He stared at the fragments.64Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntW2oZJBR
Each one, a future with no return.64Please respect copyright.PENANAKeqwYJXtm8
64Please respect copyright.PENANAw8iLlafSgQ
"And what if… I choose nothing?"64Please respect copyright.PENANA5I5OBHvC7P
He asked, barely audible.64Please respect copyright.PENANAL4i0Fh7oz5
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDtfEgq9D
"Then you'll be trapped—64Please respect copyright.PENANAKPOlaOgRAm
within this fracture,64Please respect copyright.PENANAgKiX3deXp8
until the next cycle calls you back."64Please respect copyright.PENANANr3EEtLDRK
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgB9GwqpN0Y
Silence again.64Please respect copyright.PENANAks7nXbgP1E
64Please respect copyright.PENANA4cqR9D2SY2
Then he whispered:64Please respect copyright.PENANAdsmsh4RJTN
64Please respect copyright.PENANA8BIUryZDZd
"I don't want to wake up again…64Please respect copyright.PENANAjmHyH5J7Sa
if waking means forgetting her."64Please respect copyright.PENANAX7wcuffWHa
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIUWUlWUEOh
The mirror flickered.64Please respect copyright.PENANAJVICK6J0jL
64Please respect copyright.PENANAbp57un32tL
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—64Please respect copyright.PENANANaPJbvEwWE
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqZcPTycaDM
"You'll forget what I said,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAN4THAcmlom
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…64Please respect copyright.PENANAyfa5TYRKSr
and that I never left."64Please respect copyright.PENANAGUyTeNNryd
64Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBgNxE6Og
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.64Please respect copyright.PENANAAemP6c6B95
The eternity hidden within Friday.64Please respect copyright.PENANAzrln0c6KSq
64Please respect copyright.PENANAh51WrzTgfH
No ticking clock,64Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6kOav6uKX
No urgency.64Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1wpfyAOfa
64Please respect copyright.PENANA50WbsOFdCA
Only breath—64Please respect copyright.PENANANzOYjJ3zZW
And something deeper still:64Please respect copyright.PENANAOqFe0YKca5
The echo of his own heartbeat,64Please respect copyright.PENANAc5Qkz5Ekgt
splintering across time.64Please respect copyright.PENANAM1LoMEBGc9
64Please respect copyright.PENANAHmMw4zH0bh
A single crack stretched across the floor,64Please respect copyright.PENANAQEErxMfnr6
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.64Please respect copyright.PENANAeMwkXolTl5
64Please respect copyright.PENANALIzTqmmUGx
One wrong step,64Please respect copyright.PENANAk3pndGyTTj
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.64Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hqi2YnItX
64Please respect copyright.PENANAFghUh1fLF5
He knelt and picked up a shard.64Please respect copyright.PENANAvO7iKI19lj
Its surface stirred memory—64Please respect copyright.PENANAdoLnOeBJI3
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.64Please respect copyright.PENANAGzxtADYHTe
64Please respect copyright.PENANAPfHp2CTdzj
"He said he'd come back… He promised."64Please respect copyright.PENANAixjE1FK6Bw
64Please respect copyright.PENANAvOtYGrARWu
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—64Please respect copyright.PENANA0QYEFONfrR
Young, certain, full of hope.64Please respect copyright.PENANAh8S3m30lAM
64Please respect copyright.PENANAr0BPefkNbx
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,64Please respect copyright.PENANARoeyV3i2z6
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.64Please respect copyright.PENANANP4evfa4iD
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:64Please respect copyright.PENANAg3lWNyoXqs
2025.2.19 // 28:0164Please respect copyright.PENANAwJDCEFdHMF
64Please respect copyright.PENANAEFYhBsp9vd
She whispered—64Please respect copyright.PENANAPG7oiqy8xk
64Please respect copyright.PENANA67Cm1P61e3
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.64Please respect copyright.PENANAKGFJXikV2r
It's meant—for choosing."64Please respect copyright.PENANAdx1cE0e1uX
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9UttqorEu
Something within him stirred—64Please respect copyright.PENANAebsnud5BeN
First gentle,64Please respect copyright.PENANAvfZYs9aqz8
Then forceful,64Please respect copyright.PENANAH0ENvCKCJQ
Almost irresistible.64Please respect copyright.PENANAwxj66EK76Z
64Please respect copyright.PENANAxDTWP2Z25K
A pull born of her voice,64Please respect copyright.PENANAVeza6bs3Gh
Of her silence,64Please respect copyright.PENANABB8KYQrVb7
Of every name forgotten by time.64Please respect copyright.PENANAjv622fZVkP
64Please respect copyright.PENANAED0K0JM6qo
"Then… how do I choose?"64Please respect copyright.PENANAnAyz3TFcD3
He asked not the mirror now,64Please respect copyright.PENANAejmoiQstEl
But the entire world.64Please respect copyright.PENANAg1JQK10snQ
64Please respect copyright.PENANAWqu5HStlz1
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,64Please respect copyright.PENANAfA4p6xRQO8
"was never the answer—64Please respect copyright.PENANAFckWLVghrb
only the cost."64Please respect copyright.PENANADMAkHOMlXs
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoK0KiLTwIr
He opened his eyes.64Please respect copyright.PENANATrAUVPI5zr
64Please respect copyright.PENANAbHK86jl2xE
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—64Please respect copyright.PENANAyijifk44vr
An ending already written,64Please respect copyright.PENANAcgG59z2J3S
Yet never spoken.64Please respect copyright.PENANAjoGkaASKgg

You Remember Too Much64Please respect copyright.PENANACB4vmn0TJx
64Please respect copyright.PENANAyiIh3MIVj7
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,64Please respect copyright.PENANAJwpM4BFree
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.64Please respect copyright.PENANAAt1kTS8raf
So now, only one question remains:64Please respect copyright.PENANArWa72x1cnu
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgcmjIKT56C
Who will you remain for?"64Please respect copyright.PENANAweTSUMVJJE
64Please respect copyright.PENANAlbK0XoK08M
"You've always remembered,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAUrABKGW49W
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.64Please respect copyright.PENANApXIXwbrbYY
64Please respect copyright.PENANAktaHx73dQi
"You just didn't want to admit it."64Please respect copyright.PENANAwy4KS6z1Sh
64Please respect copyright.PENANAnp8I0HDwB6
"And you've never truly let go,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ9m8HGVOj
Li An-Qing's voice followed,64Please respect copyright.PENANAofRNVertr6
Like light after the rain.64Please respect copyright.PENANAQN5CySB8Yu
64Please respect copyright.PENANASrRHsSbhEn
"Because you know—64Please respect copyright.PENANAOmFGrsitl0
this was never yours to end."64Please respect copyright.PENANAvEjBaxmsAH
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1dVL0mn9K4
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.64Please respect copyright.PENANAEGAKFHFpX7
64Please respect copyright.PENANAsQayNYufoJ
Behind him—wreckage of the past.64Please respect copyright.PENANAYcU4h2APPx
Before him—a nameless exit.64Please respect copyright.PENANAjercIox7fI
64Please respect copyright.PENANAs1DLgjs9bB
"If I can't become him…64Please respect copyright.PENANASPJuMgQO3Q
and I can't just be myself…64Please respect copyright.PENANAoCSoU5it5a
what is left of me?"64Please respect copyright.PENANATpIuNP1HuJ
64Please respect copyright.PENANAdIseJPK0N6
"Memory," they said in unison.64Please respect copyright.PENANAN0V5kDvCKt
64Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gs0SQbpYf
Not names.64Please respect copyright.PENANAxvBoMzocs6
Not roles.64Please respect copyright.PENANA8PT9NO1WVX
But something heavier—64Please respect copyright.PENANAD3e7fq4bnx
A will strong enough to pierce time.64Please respect copyright.PENANAXYUdbZam3M
64Please respect copyright.PENANAThkswCEqDI
If names fade, let them.64Please respect copyright.PENANAk5K0PXGOa5
If roles collapse, stop defining them.64Please respect copyright.PENANAvW7qvc8b6w

"You don't need a name,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAI6O17CBJWt

64Please respect copyright.PENANAJMHC2LsJfD
"You only need to keep walking,"64Please respect copyright.PENANAAXmyxtoj7x
Li An-Qing said next.64Please respect copyright.PENANAgGaydbj5HV
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."64Please respect copyright.PENANArS7DMU4IHw
64Please respect copyright.PENANAc0TZSnaY6j
The fractures began to close—64Please respect copyright.PENANAxfqJMsQCJ3
Not as an end,64Please respect copyright.PENANAYTgXjTuUox
But as a silent reformation.64Please respect copyright.PENANA6hINdqKe1E
64Please respect copyright.PENANAUUeGxR43bw
Shattered timelines intertwined,64Please respect copyright.PENANAAi71XfeGlX
Forming a new path—64Please respect copyright.PENANA6gR5gpLsLP
Free of judgment,64Please respect copyright.PENANAGjEUzbaljV
Free of labels,64Please respect copyright.PENANA3cIfUjNsCb
Free of the need to look back.64Please respect copyright.PENANA5paukqhfdw
64Please respect copyright.PENANACt6VQdHum4
It was—64Please respect copyright.PENANALiWXPYUxpN
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9nF12klomm
The third way.64Please respect copyright.PENANAfUGFW9JD8v
64Please respect copyright.PENANANRn6Ls6j8H
