He didn't answer right away.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl0vyns69O
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V5hoKaMJU
Because he knew—it wasn't a question one could answer in a single breath.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACujGZLuu8
It was a riddle that required the soul to slowly shed its layers,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2jQHhhWEB
to be rewoven before it could respond.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE5wZYjQBV
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqEDL4pGt4
"Do you think I still have a choice?" he whispered, as if asking himself.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwOMEMmkzx
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g6FQZXRB8
"You were never given a choice,"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UTVGhX0gJ
Bai Zi-Ming replied, his gaze calm like a still river,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhKsbH6Yi8
but with currents hidden deep beneath.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdU6QtNPL
"What you've always had—was burden."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmT1HXxqtb
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj4ArQ1uEA
He tried to speak,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt40TYjaU3
but his throat was parched,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxu7FTKuJp
his voice buried beneath layers of fractured time.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnNhrKkKgv
The ungrasped past, the names too dangerous to recall,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxkiiLzbg7
and the cross in his pocket—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1FkQ9AdS1
all pressed against his breath like a weight.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBolF717WX
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF742JZ9VBT
"You want the truth behind the 281 days?"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i5SY7a5c4
Bai Zi-Ming asked suddenly, his voice nearly a whisper.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3OuNaoeB
"Then understand this:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgC7H2EV6m
your memory was never from a single source."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tswyawfI6
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2QXfZ5OWo
"…Meaning?" He looked up, brow furrowed.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMQnwRYH3
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMLHXhgNJj
"You've been… adjusted.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxD4m1AJFF
Or rather, your time has been written, rewritten, and folded again."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ01tZq2uVT
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJN5SZUkTt
"Each moment you remember—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgsV9dqxsG
may come from yourself,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObKCX9WMqU
another version of you,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnXMsiaVlB
or a future that hasn't yet occurred."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkMOfILKIy
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVlsjP3JFx
Silence stretched between them,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8BL3VPpv
like the broken timeline unraveling inside his mind.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8KSxxHDER
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoRugifKLN
He suddenly remembered the photo—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVTVNphSzx
the clock frozen at 28:01.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VQcqMk1tX
It wasn't the end of time.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKVTMPVoD
It was a new beginning, in another form.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZY1B4aSnT
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIdpGD25ca
"So who am I now?"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBIctKBlVl
He asked softly. But this time, there was no tremble in his voice.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TvNKnSLsL
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWmzFOYGyd
Bai Zi-Ming didn't answer immediately.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaBMscoe20
Instead, he stepped closer, and said quietly, with clarity:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPT4fuGbzu
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahmSdSlbfC
"You are the one who—across every version—chose to remain."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06yCue41KS
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB9Y1bdzzI
The moment those words landed,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq2xrLmJvz
something inside him stirred—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSVyA1ucFF
not breaking,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeSOz2PXGo
but realigning.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BuWV5nv6Z
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJHWaaevWG
"When you're ready," Bai Zi-Ming said, turning into the shadows,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxlku4ScuU
"come back to me.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRKhMxvMif
But remember—don't be late again.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i74JpolyE
One more delay, and you will forget who you are."101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlTBjzj5XG
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCNDV457J
The lights in the hallway flickered,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzyddTpEH7
like a memory signal about to be severed.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqrmPRqBoG
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HKJe5KNXV
He stood still.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvblATMAMW
Didn't chase,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiV5Zq4Nyx
didn't turn back.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNLNgdb9qh
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbF8B6c7X3
Because he knew—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v4F6odRPO
the silence in that moment was already a kind of wordless promise.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QPOhbXT4n
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AGrEKqtzU
He lifted a hand and held the cross in his pocket.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavDQ503S3G
His fingertips trembled slightly.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSqULkppE
It wasn't just cold metal—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgdUuhVRJ
it was a key to every possibility.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UkMfeMFQO
A key to memory,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCpZweRGJm
and to the fate he could no longer avoid.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YYavwIuzT
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFV1VYtHWG
The door was opening.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgGtRU5Nnn
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgNKCvwSKC
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx4Ljptn9i
---101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB6TwuDVOV
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYFtU12wIc
When he left the LUOYEH base,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAHMRVhLVh
the sky outside hung between two extremes—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNju2sN167
not day,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJxbACwX0E
not night.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIXethAeaP
A soft light drifted through the air,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxSzUwb9Wf
carrying whispers left unfinished.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KhRL6udio
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3QSbN1sl0
As he entered the alley,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYrQSzhkH3
his phone screen lit up on its own.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxbpaQTXfk
The time flickered for a second, then displayed:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWdLvYGpYQ
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xhqXjOvG
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) — 18:40101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZqdoXjoHq
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTGuOIIybd
He froze.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFofHRGqgMb
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLg3k5Uqsj
That was impossible.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQosqMHuin
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo43EIuzOTR
When he entered the base, it was 3:47 PM.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AuyaEvUEk
The conversation hadn't lasted more than a few minutes.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HuZshmqW2
There should've been no gap of nearly three hours.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtfYTpuuGi
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKTpYu8vrH
Even stranger—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw41R5XYAPC
he couldn't recall anything from the moment he left the inner room until now.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZKQIlXxe
As if someone had sliced out an entire stretch of memory—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaomyHcVam
cleanly, surgically, without even ash remaining.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPop6GpPqcz
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9OYujkpy4
"How long have I walked again?"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxxkV05CGh
he asked himself, voice so low not even the wind bothered to reply.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNZxt2GCVA
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjWjsom0w
He opened his notes app,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2qF8As6NO
intending to record what Bai Zi-Ming had said—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaM0bR3eCk
only to find a line he never remembered writing:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdBdlv7DzY
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9QCvfPmtH
[Tuesday – fracture : 2/25, 03:00 tentative]101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi4mqb30GI
[Reverse Axis remains unstable.]101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41zHHf4aPh
[Do not return.]101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKx3d8GwdX
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4PcLHVeFo
He hadn't written that.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbRiE89yn
But it was in his voice—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilh8I7TD8e
his format, his rhythm, his syntax.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wpK1lMaH
Exactly like something he'd write to his future self.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3h4seN1y
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbMQNeeMHs
He tried deleting it—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5aD5bWKxQ
but nothing happened.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQs31jobFE
His finger brushed the screen,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UIl2TI9j5
and the entire device seemed to chill.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYCM4GnZc
Tiny static flickers danced across it—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2qOEFHcDP
like interference.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zVrapdW54
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMQGOXoFT
Then he knew—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxxgDl5At
this wasn't a warning.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJT64FKchn
This was a trace of timeline interference.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMGokX6bFk
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6opEMGs3F
He looked up quickly, scanning the distance.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMFpz0e2tm
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW480KYqFN
At a far corner,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdNPnVBZQL
a figure flashed past—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11sUqg6nj6
so like the reflection he'd once seen in a mirror.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Iclb1X0Zb
But the stride was different, the posture foreign,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUtGnckz4P
the eyes not his.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQSFWaYxZC
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EU9Kg7ivS
Yet—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AMwg10Eo
not entirely not his.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsUd2YI3SG
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1vx3P4X8I
He turned sharply,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1uqUMs2J
ready to chase—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUFwLFBycS
but stopped.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iJBla8Wuu
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiCDkLGZ1C
Because he understood:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hj0Ti14w1
if he approached,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOij99tlDH
he could never come back.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBtXbvf48C
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD2ad1Ejcd
He whispered,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHMQ8akqd1
"28:01… is it beginning?"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1mrKzOpD
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhalICr9K
He drew the cross from his pocket,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj37LYOrTu
held it in his palm—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm2LUnH9E4
as if testing whether it would respond again.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBGYJ2Lxk4
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY4JDAqUti
Cold.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd78Cd8Fpi
Silent.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHQ3a5ZfGP
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlANtQyfB5
But as his gaze settled on the point where the bars intersected,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVjHLlqMge
he saw it—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rc0KO2hnd
a fine fracture running along the surface,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj108VM7p6
and at a specific angle,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhxh58Nx8
a hidden reflection emerged:101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhFjgKJCva
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V8A6TuXtU
X-Ω Layer // Phase 1 Initiated101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiOOK8qytw
First Reversal Expected: 火曜日 28:01101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMGisAl8j9
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsE4iZIuK
Not "Tuesday".101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBiExjypA
火曜日.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK06jh0Shh
He'd never seen that word in his phone or system—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ORZoTrgW
an ambiguous name,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwOftvxeZt
a term that only surfaced101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRvMq9LcPz
when events had crossed into irreversibility.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4emIZru9tZ
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zcYBeL5xP
"He really did stay behind," he murmured.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0YCX41iQw
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY9TPtRoaE
"But now…101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOwdAZx9n6
can I still leave?"101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqrVT5rh2t
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjx7AuUkgm
No one answered—except the wind.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S1312yFHO
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruLiPieTWT
The wind had never truly stopped.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfplxTerIRU
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfqR26qSP
And now,101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcPHbHce7A
it was no longer just the movement of air.101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKl4oAFYae
101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAMg7SCxqn
It was the echo of memory—101Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl3liGhgGA
and of fate.8964 copyright protection97ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gBfkqX7R 維尼
