The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.124Please respect copyright.PENANA7T281l7EbF
124Please respect copyright.PENANAaW7Jd6lPhb
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAOSCMv8vesf
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUC7vZita63
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.124Please respect copyright.PENANABar5xcXkba
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.124Please respect copyright.PENANAS6YnA1Yx4N
Was it himself? A residue?124Please respect copyright.PENANAIQJ3Iarnrz
Or a ghost never chosen?124Please respect copyright.PENANACVRlZS8fgT
124Please respect copyright.PENANAl4UDsYK2ZJ
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.124Please respect copyright.PENANAjfXjFv2IGs
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."124Please respect copyright.PENANA5bYqzDZr1j
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQPsw2JYZMu
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.124Please respect copyright.PENANApw4uJDdDcm
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9kH4QfuOSO
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"124Please respect copyright.PENANA6prkPVa717
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3kqJt6UsC8
He gave no answer.124Please respect copyright.PENANAI4juXvYk1y
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQFZH4KqkGD
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.124Please respect copyright.PENANAgjEWKHZhUd
The posture was his, the scars too.124Please respect copyright.PENANAd8ZY1ZFvzd
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.124Please respect copyright.PENANASc9B6yvn8e
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.124Please respect copyright.PENANADmE9pWYtZY
124Please respect copyright.PENANAfidN7vzImY
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAWS5JjNZhZU
The voice pressed closer.124Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q0I0k5W1f
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."124Please respect copyright.PENANAdYb64bWyaI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAecThXHUc5W
He turned away.124Please respect copyright.PENANAhVBC48BtBS
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.124Please respect copyright.PENANAu42YQ6H4Um
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.124Please respect copyright.PENANA9comCxRbF0
124Please respect copyright.PENANA7R2M3AashZ
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.124Please respect copyright.PENANAHzxb58PjHX
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."124Please respect copyright.PENANA0UwcZghAtn
124Please respect copyright.PENANAKFL0poxwgc
"Then—choose."124Please respect copyright.PENANApVC2KuktRl
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWuB3hIvAyp
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.124Please respect copyright.PENANAQYy5QKdgzk
He didn't look back.124Please respect copyright.PENANA3AKxXvTuem
He knew nothing would be there.124Please respect copyright.PENANABI3uPC8KIo
And yet, he heard it.124Please respect copyright.PENANAPdcSpeAYjl
124Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Z0jK6BYP
"Choose which one of you will remain."124Please respect copyright.PENANASkt0Xihb3h
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzXf5HcioL8
He clenched his fists.124Please respect copyright.PENANATRPxRiQ7bS
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,124Please respect copyright.PENANAP33NqWTABs
Too real to abandon,124Please respect copyright.PENANA7NbCGTe9jp
Too entangled to claim.124Please respect copyright.PENANAoY3TzmS4R8
124Please respect copyright.PENANApcmAdkW4d2
"What if I don't want to be either?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAMOynpAXD0T
He asked the air, voice hoarse.124Please respect copyright.PENANATZenD8yVoV
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1O11FuEM3c
"Then become—124Please respect copyright.PENANAOIXF5k8w0S
the memory that survived the collapse."124Please respect copyright.PENANA324Iivsm4s
124Please respect copyright.PENANAptIpDNdvkV
The mirror cracked.124Please respect copyright.PENANA45D5Tsa51u
124Please respect copyright.PENANAyjEJjptlje
Not from pressure.124Please respect copyright.PENANA3H4jiNXsrx
Not from sound.124Please respect copyright.PENANAKnZieuLTOS
124Please respect copyright.PENANAzx3A6BDyyo
But from time.124Please respect copyright.PENANAAnctU0SmR1
124Please respect copyright.PENANATjiioYwO29
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:124Please respect copyright.PENANAT356W7hLRA
They had never truly been separate.124Please respect copyright.PENANAGQdlKuisq3
And now, they could never fully merge.124Please respect copyright.PENANAwrU9XJaSou
124Please respect copyright.PENANA2tHP88k1xB
They could only—124Please respect copyright.PENANAN1M7lzZB5c
124Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Q8XTgp3g
Overlay.124Please respect copyright.PENANAxOdgzb4X8G
Fracture.124Please respect copyright.PENANAPW0lcjnwDD

Reflections That Do Not Return124Please respect copyright.PENANAnGSOmXgL5Q
124Please respect copyright.PENANAiv3t9M4gwN
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.124Please respect copyright.PENANAAQnYGld1IF
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuVhQ1ExFyJ
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—124Please respect copyright.PENANAv1kYWdCdBo
A different version of himself emerged:124Please respect copyright.PENANAxZkWLdlJPy
Some young, some aged.124Please respect copyright.PENANAuL8LkUO6B6
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.124Please respect copyright.PENANARssoyI1y8z
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYkJ6gVw4h0
"Are these… all me?"124Please respect copyright.PENANA1yUzHof7IJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAafoYwnJrbB
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,124Please respect copyright.PENANAIx89YlA6nU
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?124Please respect copyright.PENANAhuDSrDdgr7
124Please respect copyright.PENANAiUEBLoSMVt
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.124Please respect copyright.PENANAv331YN6ay5
But it reflected not the room—124Please respect copyright.PENANAuBDRfoAAYF
124Please respect copyright.PENANAwk9zpRRKO7
It reflected time:124Please respect copyright.PENANAPyvr7546Ww
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3VgDLWyDEd
A Friday dusk,124Please respect copyright.PENANANSJDWAubse
A Tuesday's echo,124Please respect copyright.PENANA6KzeJhu4Fq
The moment the cross appeared,124Please respect copyright.PENANAhmqaYhE8D4
And the last turn of her figure.124Please respect copyright.PENANAFkWyc3WDVU
124Please respect copyright.PENANAi2FI1W7qsW
"You didn't choose an identity,"124Please respect copyright.PENANAaq2klVCZi8
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.124Please respect copyright.PENANA5EvP2ZNrTe
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,124Please respect copyright.PENANAaAFWPLAlss
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.124Please respect copyright.PENANAJg5UF4yViZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAjD8wWn3rBf
"You chose the version of yourself—124Please respect copyright.PENANAUsWImmrPwD
that could survive."124Please respect copyright.PENANAy9Tf3LWEaX
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3HcZRWpqcW
He stared at the fragments.124Please respect copyright.PENANAJUnaNrbfB8
Each one, a future with no return.124Please respect copyright.PENANABGzYu1zQw5
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWKpSlitxT9
"And what if… I choose nothing?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAH9z4sZJjmM
He asked, barely audible.124Please respect copyright.PENANATETk60vaf6
124Please respect copyright.PENANAAJt0hpiXG1
"Then you'll be trapped—124Please respect copyright.PENANAkw5vTKJNzF
within this fracture,124Please respect copyright.PENANA4EgdEM9aAV
until the next cycle calls you back."124Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Hs89o1JU
124Please respect copyright.PENANARG575mPtVH
Silence again.124Please respect copyright.PENANAIpEXNmcFgi
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9DH2QUTfO0
Then he whispered:124Please respect copyright.PENANAYL9IHRf8E6
124Please respect copyright.PENANAF98Y26FWN0
"I don't want to wake up again…124Please respect copyright.PENANAmUBYZUNLC5
if waking means forgetting her."124Please respect copyright.PENANAExZ2aFo4KO
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOBzQKZGMWY
The mirror flickered.124Please respect copyright.PENANAWeRdFEddfE
124Please respect copyright.PENANAD94gIfVLNu
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—124Please respect copyright.PENANAGOw1wmSWTr
124Please respect copyright.PENANANvsJ8TxoLd
"You'll forget what I said,"124Please respect copyright.PENANAE49Kly8QgS
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…124Please respect copyright.PENANACp070VeYmY
and that I never left."124Please respect copyright.PENANAonZ9RyQB8u
124Please respect copyright.PENANAQVo6Yxtspb
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.124Please respect copyright.PENANA2AyVCvFUei
The eternity hidden within Friday.124Please respect copyright.PENANAKBOzHaAswl
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYkDCtC1nOm
No ticking clock,124Please respect copyright.PENANAM3U9gEwFdK
No urgency.124Please respect copyright.PENANAOaEWIhRrsm
124Please respect copyright.PENANAVyWOcbEf98
Only breath—124Please respect copyright.PENANAo3OsfxSFHF
And something deeper still:124Please respect copyright.PENANAMwbrMK9Znn
The echo of his own heartbeat,124Please respect copyright.PENANAOGgSsXF5Kq
splintering across time.124Please respect copyright.PENANAtOUnWiSX3d
124Please respect copyright.PENANAy9uAPKrIRP
A single crack stretched across the floor,124Please respect copyright.PENANAOAUx5xgStX
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.124Please respect copyright.PENANAX4qCefTXpb
124Please respect copyright.PENANADO7XDwid91
One wrong step,124Please respect copyright.PENANAknqczUnhul
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.124Please respect copyright.PENANAZfjXTPsYik
124Please respect copyright.PENANAqX1iSm6C2L
He knelt and picked up a shard.124Please respect copyright.PENANAnuyHelDria
Its surface stirred memory—124Please respect copyright.PENANAzgbX3iEukS
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.124Please respect copyright.PENANAhY10Uh7d6W
124Please respect copyright.PENANAC1AkIINi69
"He said he'd come back… He promised."124Please respect copyright.PENANA2aHfP0yo99
124Please respect copyright.PENANAGxYN9tLZLP
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—124Please respect copyright.PENANAOlQdrPCnBG
Young, certain, full of hope.124Please respect copyright.PENANAYd2fva4WSp
124Please respect copyright.PENANArUrsitgaKZ
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,124Please respect copyright.PENANAWyVQiTeP3p
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.124Please respect copyright.PENANANXDyORnarg
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:124Please respect copyright.PENANADXTpMseJe3
2025.2.19 // 28:01124Please respect copyright.PENANATc4xQM18Tq
124Please respect copyright.PENANAfzQRRJXqOF
She whispered—124Please respect copyright.PENANATKytsNSJVm
124Please respect copyright.PENANAYNPSbvGEeQ
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.124Please respect copyright.PENANAas07c8onOM
It's meant—for choosing."124Please respect copyright.PENANANDgJGAgqk8
124Please respect copyright.PENANAem7BcaNYpy
Something within him stirred—124Please respect copyright.PENANAVF9kC7DhZX
First gentle,124Please respect copyright.PENANA3QJ7JIsCrP
Then forceful,124Please respect copyright.PENANAZwaYN797F5
Almost irresistible.124Please respect copyright.PENANA2YSgSA9xrg
124Please respect copyright.PENANAWSYdnrsdSC
A pull born of her voice,124Please respect copyright.PENANA6NngTMeI8A
Of her silence,124Please respect copyright.PENANA96AbWSK6u7
Of every name forgotten by time.124Please respect copyright.PENANAbUBoxlLaNZ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOKjEBJpYNV
"Then… how do I choose?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAcGOqDunQpt
He asked not the mirror now,124Please respect copyright.PENANAYCCCIaMjKH
But the entire world.124Please respect copyright.PENANApZIKkzyIJJ
124Please respect copyright.PENANAH6M6A8bOlj
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,124Please respect copyright.PENANAYNnasYdjTr
"was never the answer—124Please respect copyright.PENANAydSrCEZtdS
only the cost."124Please respect copyright.PENANAkNHaTWXqSM
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1Utr14BNiu
He opened his eyes.124Please respect copyright.PENANAvQwLFrZEKL
124Please respect copyright.PENANA0NsgeFBZvk
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—124Please respect copyright.PENANAnO0bTw51YI
An ending already written,124Please respect copyright.PENANAYzDW0j9S9k
Yet never spoken.124Please respect copyright.PENANAHhSo9xHi3x

"You remember too much," the voice murmured,124Please respect copyright.PENANALMXqdgfzzi
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.124Please respect copyright.PENANAzzdw9IqXVB
So now, only one question remains:124Please respect copyright.PENANA2a2MJZomUt
124Please respect copyright.PENANAl0WEUGrKVH
Who will you remain for?"124Please respect copyright.PENANA9Me1N6rz7S
124Please respect copyright.PENANA1WBgg6j4Ze

"You just didn't want to admit it."124Please respect copyright.PENANAzx2qUeUN0B
124Please respect copyright.PENANA07LUU9gR5y
"And you've never truly let go,"124Please respect copyright.PENANAsynH4xq6To
Li An-Qing's voice followed,124Please respect copyright.PENANAZJXn9LNVcY
Like light after the rain.124Please respect copyright.PENANAdhRDzeDDCb
124Please respect copyright.PENANA3WOQhbKlWZ
"Because you know—124Please respect copyright.PENANAj57BEpK02R
this was never yours to end."124Please respect copyright.PENANAgYUbZ0gjkb
124Please respect copyright.PENANAA5hN6OIhG2
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.124Please respect copyright.PENANAdZa00VoGc5
124Please respect copyright.PENANATzjZeZ9qO7
Behind him—wreckage of the past.124Please respect copyright.PENANAoyMQf6pmFN
Before him—a nameless exit.124Please respect copyright.PENANAH9nknVaFrI
124Please respect copyright.PENANAJw2S06Uu4k
"If I can't become him…124Please respect copyright.PENANAehm1M5TfpG
and I can't just be myself…124Please respect copyright.PENANAgagZRvZYIn
what is left of me?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAbiOP0fOV0R
124Please respect copyright.PENANAOvIx7fPMBV
"Memory," they said in unison.124Please respect copyright.PENANA0mYOh6ILEW
124Please respect copyright.PENANAuDQTD6TYJr
Not names.124Please respect copyright.PENANANF85XN5VNd
Not roles.124Please respect copyright.PENANAPu3LaPBn1c
But something heavier—124Please respect copyright.PENANAqLmPe7Q5S0
A will strong enough to pierce time.124Please respect copyright.PENANAPeyLwEkyNz
124Please respect copyright.PENANAUloOcOsRAz
If names fade, let them.124Please respect copyright.PENANAhHXDQgNVZQ

124Please respect copyright.PENANAaBfHn1hiSz
"You only need to keep walking,"124Please respect copyright.PENANAIVjP0ncEb8

"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."124Please respect copyright.PENANACprs7afe9u
124Please respect copyright.PENANAesJ0UbrVXZ
The fractures began to close—124Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqgk9eqir
Not as an end,124Please respect copyright.PENANAqPDqp2WlNH
But as a silent reformation.124Please respect copyright.PENANAb7k52Mky4M
124Please respect copyright.PENANA9oApBbMTk8
Shattered timelines intertwined,124Please respect copyright.PENANAR4qtAe0ZNf
Forming a new path—124Please respect copyright.PENANANeY8kcOFL5
Free of judgment,124Please respect copyright.PENANAaX2Q4c73Dc
Free of labels,124Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5KJSbQPKZ

A future with no name.
