The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.84Please respect copyright.PENANAZ42taiRBsc
84Please respect copyright.PENANAFY7CzJJoP5
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAD5s6aH6ur6
84Please respect copyright.PENANAp5vCKYLIjW
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.84Please respect copyright.PENANAPd7DHjARJ3
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.84Please respect copyright.PENANAZSgpMMN9hA
Was it himself? A residue?84Please respect copyright.PENANAD5XVY8tCLf
Or a ghost never chosen?84Please respect copyright.PENANAGolUE4Mm1k
84Please respect copyright.PENANAsezoK4ImuS
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.84Please respect copyright.PENANAogRJkyfJVM
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."84Please respect copyright.PENANAdCinwLAofB
84Please respect copyright.PENANAMidmD5uoXB
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.84Please respect copyright.PENANAdRiVAf6pRH
84Please respect copyright.PENANAodANUca9jd
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAmBQaikHfIw
84Please respect copyright.PENANAP0EnapxoU7
He gave no answer.84Please respect copyright.PENANAT1jI0j11pR
84Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMySAJJkT
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.84Please respect copyright.PENANARS4I9lt9Vw
The posture was his, the scars too.84Please respect copyright.PENANAqhkeaDWfkI
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.84Please respect copyright.PENANAtGzbvnrMkD
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.84Please respect copyright.PENANAwzAGDZN1Bz
84Please respect copyright.PENANAQEhnB3l0uh
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAREpLM5arcl
The voice pressed closer.84Please respect copyright.PENANAZbvZQ4HNSz
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."84Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChjijyGH7
84Please respect copyright.PENANA5a2mhIT24F
He turned away.84Please respect copyright.PENANAISThZbwQOi
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.84Please respect copyright.PENANAS2KkPjkRPo
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.84Please respect copyright.PENANAQStzAWSIQu
84Please respect copyright.PENANAUP8VKCTOmi
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.84Please respect copyright.PENANAMlULumRP7I
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."84Please respect copyright.PENANAMgN57dOeYs
84Please respect copyright.PENANAUqAhOVY7YS
"Then—choose."84Please respect copyright.PENANANUUnAdp1aQ
84Please respect copyright.PENANAldRJ56HcOH
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.84Please respect copyright.PENANAsbbBahDfUr
He didn't look back.84Please respect copyright.PENANA8vPGXMd1E4
He knew nothing would be there.84Please respect copyright.PENANAdpDShqOvHH
And yet, he heard it.84Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ2KrGcKu5
84Please respect copyright.PENANAjlLPtV8EQw
"Choose which one of you will remain."84Please respect copyright.PENANAgEsQtzt7zp
84Please respect copyright.PENANABpA8e2mtE4
He clenched his fists.84Please respect copyright.PENANAKkg9xHJhmq
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,84Please respect copyright.PENANAOxWTo4o04p
Too real to abandon,84Please respect copyright.PENANAiHA7DInKnP
Too entangled to claim.84Please respect copyright.PENANAL2foLOLJw5
84Please respect copyright.PENANAFtuWpthFf3
"What if I don't want to be either?"84Please respect copyright.PENANA9qb6ff3Ems
He asked the air, voice hoarse.84Please respect copyright.PENANAG9JqQqhZuq
84Please respect copyright.PENANAUdBeXfNzs1
"Then become—84Please respect copyright.PENANAPC26z5XxJN
the memory that survived the collapse."84Please respect copyright.PENANALrD76ELO4y
84Please respect copyright.PENANA6PYDHmfJuy
The mirror cracked.84Please respect copyright.PENANA0r11f5P9Co
84Please respect copyright.PENANAOfdi3tJ82s
Not from pressure.84Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0OAhOgS9Q
Not from sound.84Please respect copyright.PENANAylGYMiyNQq
84Please respect copyright.PENANAwOiwpIui2O
But from time.84Please respect copyright.PENANA1TeL7wVAkE
84Please respect copyright.PENANAMaVanEo9CX
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:84Please respect copyright.PENANAowaGA0blFM
They had never truly been separate.84Please respect copyright.PENANAKiA3BYebNN
And now, they could never fully merge.84Please respect copyright.PENANA1HoISvJxeX
84Please respect copyright.PENANA3JEP47FlKU
They could only—84Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbFdp6afx
84Please respect copyright.PENANAwxqGIoN1xM
Overlay.84Please respect copyright.PENANAM4h51fMQqn
Fracture.84Please respect copyright.PENANAjDhL0mDOIc
Echo.84Please respect copyright.PENANAFJoHmJhcrV

Reflections That Do Not Return84Please respect copyright.PENANAiAqwGzJVMt
84Please respect copyright.PENANAGw29nKCH1P
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.84Please respect copyright.PENANAlQbPxtZvg9
84Please respect copyright.PENANA4X9J5PEb8q
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—84Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Ph3oJn8N
A different version of himself emerged:84Please respect copyright.PENANADUHmJQbBeN
Some young, some aged.84Please respect copyright.PENANArcA25CA0JU
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.84Please respect copyright.PENANAN1XYI93qdX
84Please respect copyright.PENANAAadKOjLlur
"Are these… all me?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAGE1Mipxhau
84Please respect copyright.PENANAEsC1PxH5j4
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,84Please respect copyright.PENANAJfBXtjoa7A
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?84Please respect copyright.PENANA3RLoPYhljy
84Please respect copyright.PENANAEVclX2SJvD
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.84Please respect copyright.PENANA32aTQfUriQ
But it reflected not the room—84Please respect copyright.PENANAhLLQarM5TF
84Please respect copyright.PENANAn3OA7evpdY
It reflected time:84Please respect copyright.PENANAx1AWf6HGmt
84Please respect copyright.PENANAjYPjhcsRYW
A Friday dusk,84Please respect copyright.PENANAmi6DJ0lEKe
A Tuesday's echo,84Please respect copyright.PENANAiR8cMePuJl
The moment the cross appeared,84Please respect copyright.PENANAdHr6fnj17m
And the last turn of her figure.84Please respect copyright.PENANAPjGdw4bFMI
84Please respect copyright.PENANAxQN8rhmlRW
"You didn't choose an identity,"84Please respect copyright.PENANAvDnsWr2JC3
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.84Please respect copyright.PENANAk5bb6n8KtX
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,84Please respect copyright.PENANA7LtdfNwj6g
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.84Please respect copyright.PENANAFwhXbxLapA
84Please respect copyright.PENANA1C1qnwKUli
"You chose the version of yourself—84Please respect copyright.PENANA16AEYtXNvH
that could survive."84Please respect copyright.PENANAGgKoXwUMy3
84Please respect copyright.PENANAN9b1U4MXeI
He stared at the fragments.84Please respect copyright.PENANAKaieGYf2zH
Each one, a future with no return.84Please respect copyright.PENANAr1jUQPpxTB
84Please respect copyright.PENANA1l2T61hcwz
"And what if… I choose nothing?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAY5WLXlnb2J
He asked, barely audible.84Please respect copyright.PENANA9WW4VJuIJX
84Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ICfGnlSK
"Then you'll be trapped—84Please respect copyright.PENANAckM27nzLEf
within this fracture,84Please respect copyright.PENANA0IoooFhFhA
until the next cycle calls you back."84Please respect copyright.PENANAEZkGXu84wZ
84Please respect copyright.PENANASgfXfVZwEC
Silence again.84Please respect copyright.PENANAd84VUCiHeu
84Please respect copyright.PENANAgXbBSUSQhn
Then he whispered:84Please respect copyright.PENANAudhbsaEH6o
84Please respect copyright.PENANAU1jnwwG7WD
"I don't want to wake up again…84Please respect copyright.PENANAQVtM8suMKM
if waking means forgetting her."84Please respect copyright.PENANAFSVI73sOR0
84Please respect copyright.PENANAeejH3xGF5H
The mirror flickered.84Please respect copyright.PENANAIjqJh036wB
84Please respect copyright.PENANAbLqTcO9w34
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—84Please respect copyright.PENANAiLiGQ6q4NQ
84Please respect copyright.PENANAonvf9xbGkk
"You'll forget what I said,"84Please respect copyright.PENANAowKntKe8Zo
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…84Please respect copyright.PENANAMHpbwIVu8r
and that I never left."84Please respect copyright.PENANADn61uVANWH
84Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ08EPjHAu
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.84Please respect copyright.PENANAAfoNulo7my
The eternity hidden within Friday.84Please respect copyright.PENANAlOtOluljID
84Please respect copyright.PENANAsA5D8VDNr6
No ticking clock,84Please respect copyright.PENANAg0JYfYB4dy
No urgency.84Please respect copyright.PENANA2zuXnrPjlH
84Please respect copyright.PENANArjDAkTPyXh
Only breath—84Please respect copyright.PENANA9saq1cHBzW
And something deeper still:84Please respect copyright.PENANAyFFH7sOgBZ
The echo of his own heartbeat,84Please respect copyright.PENANA85PpAUaY9D
splintering across time.84Please respect copyright.PENANAcnffJWohd2
84Please respect copyright.PENANAR0DQY9UuZO
A single crack stretched across the floor,84Please respect copyright.PENANAynBqk6g7XJ
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.84Please respect copyright.PENANAHM9w89DKws
84Please respect copyright.PENANAoC4AtvoQh7
One wrong step,84Please respect copyright.PENANAhSWdB6H2zE
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.84Please respect copyright.PENANAgiJgT3mLKm
84Please respect copyright.PENANAP8IzmhfzDH
He knelt and picked up a shard.84Please respect copyright.PENANAQbAWVbZthF
Its surface stirred memory—84Please respect copyright.PENANAKQMqzS2hsz
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.84Please respect copyright.PENANAMUMrEyYw44
84Please respect copyright.PENANA5GPeuYuaaI
"He said he'd come back… He promised."84Please respect copyright.PENANAtYrnSk8UzE
84Please respect copyright.PENANArN0JWwbHoP
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—84Please respect copyright.PENANAzIWQjgfDvl
Young, certain, full of hope.84Please respect copyright.PENANAFq78N7UjwR
84Please respect copyright.PENANAGOyVDhgUhM
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,84Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6ZMNFkFk
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.84Please respect copyright.PENANAkqiqWoNQpH
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:84Please respect copyright.PENANAaxL3Y8ZRYj
2025.2.19 // 28:0184Please respect copyright.PENANANoCkR9AwmV
84Please respect copyright.PENANAtDViVOZvUo
She whispered—84Please respect copyright.PENANAO0V3LENguC
84Please respect copyright.PENANAW019PZ2QBK
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.84Please respect copyright.PENANAlzvfWPbLCo
It's meant—for choosing."84Please respect copyright.PENANAVFNdX0yJ82
84Please respect copyright.PENANAeucHgFmRDk
Something within him stirred—84Please respect copyright.PENANA1n4wU4VIAX
First gentle,84Please respect copyright.PENANAXjKiWVYrRy
Then forceful,84Please respect copyright.PENANAlYqH9a6gXe
Almost irresistible.84Please respect copyright.PENANA515FzgWPia
84Please respect copyright.PENANA9xCGHpfKxY
A pull born of her voice,84Please respect copyright.PENANA3oY9RzVTL8
Of her silence,84Please respect copyright.PENANATgss4NqQFN
Of every name forgotten by time.84Please respect copyright.PENANARqClTh3HZj
84Please respect copyright.PENANADs1TDVlbq8
"Then… how do I choose?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAtEmfYFGg3G
He asked not the mirror now,84Please respect copyright.PENANATmSuZSXV4t
But the entire world.84Please respect copyright.PENANAu6AS9bGRKq
84Please respect copyright.PENANAWtz0ivxSbH
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,84Please respect copyright.PENANAVEPnVwV2In
"was never the answer—84Please respect copyright.PENANAk79HoRXL3X
only the cost."84Please respect copyright.PENANAO4QJdDUqIf
84Please respect copyright.PENANAJyCvmmtzOR
He opened his eyes.84Please respect copyright.PENANADOhPzNEm1C
84Please respect copyright.PENANAIM8kg077sU
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—84Please respect copyright.PENANA18r7u5WABY
An ending already written,84Please respect copyright.PENANABN6cMbHCbO
Yet never spoken.84Please respect copyright.PENANAKGW6wnAYM8
84Please respect copyright.PENANAC95Q7aSfOS

You Remember Too Much84Please respect copyright.PENANA35FkyjKWQD
84Please respect copyright.PENANAezHju2DUlB
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,84Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8USqzQaGd
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.84Please respect copyright.PENANAeTFZUlwGn4
So now, only one question remains:84Please respect copyright.PENANAqLN3YNNT0Q
84Please respect copyright.PENANACRjJZUlhwI
Who will you remain for?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAzQrxTX3zMs
84Please respect copyright.PENANAsBFPFV0wrQ
"You've always remembered,"84Please respect copyright.PENANA8WZtcLN7es
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.84Please respect copyright.PENANAlNNGLukSDz
84Please respect copyright.PENANAthshSJNNms
"You just didn't want to admit it."84Please respect copyright.PENANAM9qb3I22hm
84Please respect copyright.PENANAIsxv5liPX9
"And you've never truly let go,"84Please respect copyright.PENANAMrf1Ct33nc
Li An-Qing's voice followed,84Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDdsX9pJU
Like light after the rain.84Please respect copyright.PENANAwyRr4qzIXs
84Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQZvtK5dr
"Because you know—84Please respect copyright.PENANAMPfGXwc14g
this was never yours to end."84Please respect copyright.PENANAcZy76xNmcr
84Please respect copyright.PENANAOeTcj6UzbL
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.84Please respect copyright.PENANAmH46Zv62DV
84Please respect copyright.PENANAjeoCZw7eo0
Behind him—wreckage of the past.84Please respect copyright.PENANAGzcDXTjvUT
Before him—a nameless exit.84Please respect copyright.PENANAKwq49IJV9L
84Please respect copyright.PENANA7q83v4kjbA
"If I can't become him…84Please respect copyright.PENANAR1rHHWAuIz
and I can't just be myself…84Please respect copyright.PENANA9fZZaWYHzs
what is left of me?"84Please respect copyright.PENANAuJWyZBPVqu
84Please respect copyright.PENANApjGxW3NekS
"Memory," they said in unison.84Please respect copyright.PENANAIwOGgYSFgo
84Please respect copyright.PENANAVfkRazWYtk
Not names.84Please respect copyright.PENANAYIinbWfBHf
Not roles.84Please respect copyright.PENANA5yL6jndzZS
But something heavier—84Please respect copyright.PENANAGwa0aNADkJ
A will strong enough to pierce time.84Please respect copyright.PENANAbwLVolpKcJ
84Please respect copyright.PENANAHUHvz7c6gC
If names fade, let them.84Please respect copyright.PENANAhANMH4hE3Y

Yang An-Ting whispered.84Please respect copyright.PENANAm6J3b7IqZW

84Please respect copyright.PENANAqiTXdor7nQ
"You only need to keep walking,"84Please respect copyright.PENANAz3VAVvvbhi
Li An-Qing said next.84Please respect copyright.PENANAahu5SxoPMa
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."84Please respect copyright.PENANAlIlrYIXzbK
84Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ63XH3qsd
The fractures began to close—84Please respect copyright.PENANAZoyyGqaSXC
Not as an end,84Please respect copyright.PENANAY2Ih5LhQWE
But as a silent reformation.84Please respect copyright.PENANAV24pQGhdiD
84Please respect copyright.PENANAsjcxLBczdt
Shattered timelines intertwined,84Please respect copyright.PENANADs0RiQ3gYn
Forming a new path—84Please respect copyright.PENANAPakE2ZIs87
Free of judgment,84Please respect copyright.PENANAU0dTjFezko
Free of labels,84Please respect copyright.PENANAGzNDHEQh8E
Free of the need to look back.84Please respect copyright.PENANAFehexj6Yrc
84Please respect copyright.PENANAbPqwWPpnJ8
It was—84Please respect copyright.PENANAfQULe08spL
84Please respect copyright.PENANABO1uGsct1g
The third way.84Please respect copyright.PENANADcNUJl0KoZ
84Please respect copyright.PENANAxwLag8o8Tk
Not return.84Please respect copyright.PENANA8eJVR1x5tM

84Please respect copyright.PENANA9MfnZMrObF
A future with no name.
