Tuesday, November 5th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVxt0yFh8R
He returned to the precinct.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdO1ZD0NSR
No one had called him.No one expected him.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p03Z1yI0A
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfNGUldTE
As though nothing had happened.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeVB70cOy4
Someone whispered:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cv7j5ZXxb
"Weren't you still on medical—?"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf03mjwsqw
He smiled.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVQvsKkFjW
His tone, clean and sharp:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBqGmKmgk0
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczOU4Uqk7v
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz11UlSFbM
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7ZV9qF9g
He left them blank.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ121dNo7NFv

16:23.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXnjf5F1Ib
He requested the past three months of duty logs.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthnx7LyenM
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoplnsZe3J
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiZwMWRn4
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDfPsJO4o
He went quiet.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIWiMNFHA
Then, softly:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NvESK4Rd
"…That wasn't me."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1FbilKte
That night, in his notebook:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Db47xnCh
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm635kqvwn
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEEBeO3PJK
I only thought I was the original.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdTY4iRm4e
I was never meant to appear.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbApIxa0bXy
I'm the one interfering with his integration.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CM218l8tT
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeRhbxEv9n

Friday, November 8th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJpgQ8uf5z
He locked himself in an unused office.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGwi3A9wY
No lights. No movement.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4RItYkwN3
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPQTTf9Xk
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCerI1iBfP
His notebook lay open.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Na2uQJsH
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfVwIxCAS
12.17124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S62rpLhd4
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLMHnDT8W
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KUpGNxWi

Tuesday, November 19th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaMX2UGTvW
He could no longer write.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gCmfI7n6T
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcs7Ixrgap
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kUsxYt7oM
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBABtnZjSJ
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43GaQgkD69
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9DEXL5lZd
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRCk0QTjm

Friday, November 22nd124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpyAhOOTGf
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdJzsxS96u
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z1AjzykHA
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNnysXAYsa
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRMhCRkXx
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltJENNZjR1
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBLwlxsHI
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qZLqpFbth
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc28ZrS4qJB

Tuesday, December 3rd124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBiI1xlUy
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq39F3HiQF
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5syujydzM
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpxMgoy02
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJhE4QxPiS
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DTSf1UBj7
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPARo0Wpo
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3uCr4W3KI
The wall now bore a carved outline:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbqoXnIQS
A cross.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrmXYBl2pb

Anqing / Anting · Unspoken Dialogue in the Time Layer
It came not to him—but through him.
A flicker across the glass panel near the exit. A soft voice, not spoken aloud but resonating within the space behind his ears.
"You said… we'd see each other again, in a world without mirrors."
The voice was soft. Familiar. It did not belong to Zhang.
It belonged to someone who had once whispered to the wind beside the riverbank,and to another who had heard it—but in the wrong timeline.
The scene fractured.
Two girls stood beneath the fading light of a bus stop—their backs facing each other, yet somehow overlapping.
One held a folded piece of paper: a number sequence.The other, a piece of a poem—unfinished.
"If I forget you, do I forget the part of me that was most human?"
"No. You only forget the part that tried to survive."
Their words were not answers—but reflections. The kind time rarely returned.
Then—
A crack.
Reality restitched. Zhang's breath caught. He wasn't there.But they had been.And now, that echo lived in him too.

Back at his desk, he found a note:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH61VhCt4o
[You are about to recover everything.][Remember—it's not that you couldn't endure.It's that this world refused to let you remember.]124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScvQON0Bo3
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3e8we2JaT

Friday, December 6th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcL3TtZymg
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaqMaSHOlz
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUmk8bMg4p
In his hand—124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPHGwds4Q
The triple cross.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhGAyu4kNR
Its first real manifestation.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16xjjwkdpN
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD6nJcOr0b
They said he left it in the archives that night.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVkDvWAOI8
By morning—it was gone.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcLzGq4RlG

Tuesday, December 13th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3UrSEkQte
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXEQHh74YU
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRXpvTBoLy
A witness said:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2kOfvbju4
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxDlYhy3gp
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ31yfYF3F
"Anting, I remember—your smile never showed your gums…""If the world gave us one more chance,I'd forget accounting.I'd be a poet."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZqwkBHprj
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT6nf1V3Ml
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rW2qJHCCt

Tuesday, December 17th124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMSOotbHdS
That day, duty records glitched.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZEdwOBYdv
Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7YWGTlTd
"AAN.112. Integration."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsvEaqNBa7
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyCHi5XLSV
But the handwriting—identical across the precinct.As if one mind had moved through dozens of hands.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwXyBW6GA

He had stood there for a long time.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaVShIiyFI
Waiting.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK4zCgK2my
Then he smiled.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCP85Gyewt
"I'm here."124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Mp782kIC
And disappeared.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xuVAP3WRZ

Just—gone, frame by frame.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5KBrlgujq
