Tuesday, November 5th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzrN6zZzuf
He returned to the precinct.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoP5n9Ua6D
No one had called him.No one expected him.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVHzLOjMJq
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Rw8qqBTw
As though nothing had happened.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTEjJvHfh
Someone whispered:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNvhXsROdE
"Weren't you still on medical—?"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1ayvrUahb
He smiled.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ140ctKtKCE
His tone, clean and sharp:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsbyNoLzxV
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VPYNLYe0t
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTC6IuXd0n
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhU3Y1N0Xa
He left them blank.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ1g1pIEXK

16:23.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd35o92diZ
He requested the past three months of duty logs.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyexoww7FN
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvUEoYXKaz
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEU3WxO0td
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf82ILlX6c2
He went quiet.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3mjsuCMA
Then, softly:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8cy7Sloxp
"…That wasn't me."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqJ6yomSZz
That night, in his notebook:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBojR4IhN4
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdOZIQKtUL
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqiDqnp8M7
I only thought I was the original.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGzOUYd5qr
I was never meant to appear.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujYYmpzwu
I'm the one interfering with his integration.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhqvCefpsj
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4cCCnjlCi

Friday, November 8th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxN7qjCWT
He locked himself in an unused office.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2inZZQEi1
No lights. No movement.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2exehDKrm
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdqoojInzZ
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmml0HBBI
His notebook lay open.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno4prEpIoO
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5GyEC53x
12.17123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLp2kRBp2R
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZCLIfvWI
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUEFArc2W

Tuesday, November 19th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIL7LlLOFp
He could no longer write.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8bd7aZxjs
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS6ZOn22vy
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6peEoYrxd3
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU91M1u3cPA
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocb9x8VEk7
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBCpQYQfzq
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI4Y5ZcunU

Friday, November 22nd123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHIODSZ8np
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizOkQOX5MW
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRwaexEpkj
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79fGX91Rb
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiMKNhZu1F
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNpSxrCBJ
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHS7FNVAbS
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85mJ5EY0cI
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dKqUiyL0t

Tuesday, December 3rd123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0EgNecgKt
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIc3cIvk3N
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4vbHRs4D
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAs9VzvHh7
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1WKeabpaS
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmrbr4dFTe
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49qbl0te7
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYVwgnrVh
The wall now bore a carved outline:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrAPLMFsmr
A cross.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpMKrOSo0u

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:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CK8dxqWmL
[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.]123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibzX13We6
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrehBgWJ0x

Friday, December 6th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgk0HSqPva
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVXk2JJdf
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQwxO0bDP
In his hand—123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANYrpuEFpn
The triple cross.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdYyfM3abl
Its first real manifestation.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvBsuUqI2R
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAotJ8CHur
They said he left it in the archives that night.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcRxqL0CfI
By morning—it was gone.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3P4PnBuJt

Tuesday, December 13th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAHffyQ7T
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLtnl7X7SH
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqQM9oMME
A witness said:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iVkTAAcSI
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarKMuQJTIQ
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1V4KwXZfM
"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."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qid2YUHD
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRUsSYztD5
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k59J9GRcA

Tuesday, December 17th123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6vXgJgnpF
That day, duty records glitched.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOoYjRsiF
Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TSLRAIWms
"AAN.112. Integration."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SbfRpzUsK
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Kj2LGSFU
But the handwriting—identical across the precinct.As if one mind had moved through dozens of hands.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1X2KBSJwn

CCTV showed him standing outside the precinct's front gate.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRG6Ge4uXV
He had stood there for a long time.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCxqIsPeO
Waiting.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREWZE2umYA
Then he smiled.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbU0pey6eU
"I'm here."123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLyDduDWgR
And disappeared.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5bT8X73yv

Just—gone, frame by frame.123Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OvbxE03Ff
