The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.97Please respect copyright.PENANA9GoGafnxUX
97Please respect copyright.PENANA12MXi8Rsst
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAi05R67Hoq7
97Please respect copyright.PENANAeB27ySMJ0V
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.97Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4sMk8d1z
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXqaqNYnUYe
Was it himself? A residue?97Please respect copyright.PENANACYxr5S0wPY
Or a ghost never chosen?97Please respect copyright.PENANAPm0uCSMpZI
97Please respect copyright.PENANAR20EO8Owdf
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.97Please respect copyright.PENANATBp2MRTbG1
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."97Please respect copyright.PENANAgZdfME3zY1
97Please respect copyright.PENANARV2tO3W5W2
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.97Please respect copyright.PENANA6G0xLJ4Lkn
97Please respect copyright.PENANAquzTRr7coa
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAokAbeUv0Cg
97Please respect copyright.PENANA0qTt18tvE2
He gave no answer.97Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvCjTfTVP
97Please respect copyright.PENANAaiTyLXnfuJ
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.97Please respect copyright.PENANAatBL7Pb5R8
The posture was his, the scars too.97Please respect copyright.PENANA0d9eMylcOP
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.97Please respect copyright.PENANA12CVgNDMl4
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.97Please respect copyright.PENANAtqSiblksPc
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1zJfBrfhk5
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAu48HuFk6rO
The voice pressed closer.97Please respect copyright.PENANAKFU2uM5Dnd
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."97Please respect copyright.PENANAmDJxckT5f2
97Please respect copyright.PENANANrRitjp6yX
He turned away.97Please respect copyright.PENANAlTQYhdOe4w
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.97Please respect copyright.PENANA7EVDQ16bNg
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.97Please respect copyright.PENANAWBdJYpL7se
97Please respect copyright.PENANALkJDDzwI91
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.97Please respect copyright.PENANAEJkrI39CzU
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."97Please respect copyright.PENANACH1Atj6BFR
97Please respect copyright.PENANA1QID0lGWXL
"Then—choose."97Please respect copyright.PENANAAY2cIQegRC
97Please respect copyright.PENANAKRlSJdvV9w
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.97Please respect copyright.PENANAaBKD21wLQ2
He didn't look back.97Please respect copyright.PENANAbLxY3OQMI1
He knew nothing would be there.97Please respect copyright.PENANAUgSV8FRGiC
And yet, he heard it.97Please respect copyright.PENANAk8c1ds1aUb
97Please respect copyright.PENANA527AMI7CDQ
"Choose which one of you will remain."97Please respect copyright.PENANAGBjB49iFMP
97Please respect copyright.PENANAF503f8zTEM
He clenched his fists.97Please respect copyright.PENANApaRyG6wSnM
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,97Please respect copyright.PENANAVPku3S1g2b
Too real to abandon,97Please respect copyright.PENANAflkxFKaxoW
Too entangled to claim.97Please respect copyright.PENANAVLFRN0O1lI
97Please respect copyright.PENANAxf4Db70B9R
"What if I don't want to be either?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAKhUvthUptx
He asked the air, voice hoarse.97Please respect copyright.PENANAVoAuVk3wcO
97Please respect copyright.PENANAl8LPGzW7aY
"Then become—97Please respect copyright.PENANAVSfk8Ok1Rx
the memory that survived the collapse."97Please respect copyright.PENANAiSFoEqFAIH
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHBPy3a81qu
The mirror cracked.97Please respect copyright.PENANAGwbcybFQqf
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHZYkcnhAFw
Not from pressure.97Please respect copyright.PENANAAIlNihQW4Y
Not from sound.97Please respect copyright.PENANA98KOJ9ha2J
97Please respect copyright.PENANAn92nddvAy8
But from time.97Please respect copyright.PENANAVmP8x7wMp4
97Please respect copyright.PENANAf3YvXmId6I
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:97Please respect copyright.PENANABqGZiFDL8K
They had never truly been separate.97Please respect copyright.PENANA4hWweOBzm8
And now, they could never fully merge.97Please respect copyright.PENANAoJydb50sDw
97Please respect copyright.PENANArJjtbrORTv
They could only—97Please respect copyright.PENANAeb3sM8HOwF
97Please respect copyright.PENANAuwE3GKzDaW
Overlay.97Please respect copyright.PENANA3XVkPx8mbB
Fracture.97Please respect copyright.PENANAi87dNKgz3R
Echo.97Please respect copyright.PENANAmIRo1ViDpE

Reflections That Do Not Return97Please respect copyright.PENANAO7ebj5Dr6S
97Please respect copyright.PENANAescwtbzO4J
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.97Please respect copyright.PENANAiYYrFLDr1k
97Please respect copyright.PENANAzhEySMHVVs
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—97Please respect copyright.PENANAprkjWxkiP7
A different version of himself emerged:97Please respect copyright.PENANAYmgAHjz45T
Some young, some aged.97Please respect copyright.PENANA85SMDvU07n
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.97Please respect copyright.PENANALX0vgqy5n4
97Please respect copyright.PENANATB1awiIGFQ
"Are these… all me?"97Please respect copyright.PENANAU51l4neSlN
97Please respect copyright.PENANACZdlI0Wmkd
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,97Please respect copyright.PENANA9QgtTdI1zm
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?97Please respect copyright.PENANABTyMnZNsPS
97Please respect copyright.PENANAykEpU78bWd
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.97Please respect copyright.PENANA19HxIwRFQA
But it reflected not the room—97Please respect copyright.PENANAGoYVpUHcDB
97Please respect copyright.PENANA86ZQ5TqE6o
It reflected time:97Please respect copyright.PENANAhepH16Ry1S
97Please respect copyright.PENANAfhE7lONvGe
A Friday dusk,97Please respect copyright.PENANAlfm0MtNmED
A Tuesday's echo,97Please respect copyright.PENANA45uIKBr6dv
The moment the cross appeared,97Please respect copyright.PENANASoH8SL2Jhg
And the last turn of her figure.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZe378VLah9
97Please respect copyright.PENANAeqf7NPvLfV
"You didn't choose an identity,"97Please respect copyright.PENANALI7hYzrpGl
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.97Please respect copyright.PENANAngmVk4eFk8
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,97Please respect copyright.PENANAW2565NVrgT
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.97Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jsnh6UfyT
97Please respect copyright.PENANAvIm9GaZPay
"You chose the version of yourself—97Please respect copyright.PENANAEGZIozduT3
that could survive."97Please respect copyright.PENANAAbaLX19ACN
97Please respect copyright.PENANABlGqZD6QWn
He stared at the fragments.97Please respect copyright.PENANA7D8OXCnpxg
Each one, a future with no return.97Please respect copyright.PENANAjhl4shO9D5
97Please respect copyright.PENANAQUmMXJS3LH
"And what if… I choose nothing?"97Please respect copyright.PENANA0AufcBvcMP
He asked, barely audible.97Please respect copyright.PENANAuqmorpaA48
97Please respect copyright.PENANAnpaFjsHldf
"Then you'll be trapped—97Please respect copyright.PENANAVdguAsmmsv
within this fracture,97Please respect copyright.PENANAysuGOVj2A0
until the next cycle calls you back."97Please respect copyright.PENANARMvTJQCb1n
97Please respect copyright.PENANA5JoQfp8iN1
Silence again.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzubP2wKzOe
97Please respect copyright.PENANAZgSYKNlpRf
Then he whispered:97Please respect copyright.PENANAyjYYR6ztDC
97Please respect copyright.PENANAhdddlqgnYb
"I don't want to wake up again…97Please respect copyright.PENANALWd2mfDhJS
if waking means forgetting her."97Please respect copyright.PENANAlWzmj6VDQD
97Please respect copyright.PENANAPH2EnvXH6J
The mirror flickered.97Please respect copyright.PENANAyNSQtBhI6L
97Please respect copyright.PENANAz6UIajtii2
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—97Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y1lU2i9cn
97Please respect copyright.PENANAE980ki3G9p
"You'll forget what I said,"97Please respect copyright.PENANAOUvmtqlPV0
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…97Please respect copyright.PENANAUrFPV0VLo6
and that I never left."97Please respect copyright.PENANAIEwGhhDPfa
97Please respect copyright.PENANAwduoaq8beL
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.97Please respect copyright.PENANA2cMS48fMin
The eternity hidden within Friday.97Please respect copyright.PENANAXQzkE1Yl4t
97Please respect copyright.PENANAq6FViVUuj3
No ticking clock,97Please respect copyright.PENANAE6DRo47wJE
No urgency.97Please respect copyright.PENANApd7WPGIxG4
97Please respect copyright.PENANAiwkGCFh69u
Only breath—97Please respect copyright.PENANAwO6CI1Efvu
And something deeper still:97Please respect copyright.PENANAFKvwCrxpSk
The echo of his own heartbeat,97Please respect copyright.PENANAnEXpE6EgCm
splintering across time.97Please respect copyright.PENANAxCPmtenBPX
97Please respect copyright.PENANAuq5U68keTA
A single crack stretched across the floor,97Please respect copyright.PENANA6qWuGN0ibs
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.97Please respect copyright.PENANAOpC6KAFXQ4
97Please respect copyright.PENANADHKRuQbSPK
One wrong step,97Please respect copyright.PENANAK72gGgV1ET
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.97Please respect copyright.PENANATQ2Y8J2xQx
97Please respect copyright.PENANAm2uHKlDirA
He knelt and picked up a shard.97Please respect copyright.PENANATNPo662Ljt
Its surface stirred memory—97Please respect copyright.PENANAGnU9780z9d
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzUKsyhVwwc
97Please respect copyright.PENANAtRug7Bf69c
"He said he'd come back… He promised."97Please respect copyright.PENANACB4YCiy8NY
97Please respect copyright.PENANAHycknPoroa
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—97Please respect copyright.PENANA8nKU9R0YhX
Young, certain, full of hope.97Please respect copyright.PENANA321D68RLjM
97Please respect copyright.PENANA89B8GVFXml
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,97Please respect copyright.PENANAupmUc2RpEX
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.97Please respect copyright.PENANAEqzmjbGFdl
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:97Please respect copyright.PENANAalhloUL9xi
2025.2.19 // 28:0197Please respect copyright.PENANAiCZTiD8yU5
97Please respect copyright.PENANACukC03Ha0L
She whispered—97Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ7Q5ybhRZ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAjQVM09K28O
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.97Please respect copyright.PENANAab3VXo5sFL
It's meant—for choosing."97Please respect copyright.PENANAADbxvWF7FX
97Please respect copyright.PENANAINgML2FwW2
Something within him stirred—97Please respect copyright.PENANAhRlUohCSix
First gentle,97Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Se4P5k5H
Then forceful,97Please respect copyright.PENANAekxiEelorU
Almost irresistible.97Please respect copyright.PENANAzwzPLKmAET
97Please respect copyright.PENANABAjdnMrFf2
A pull born of her voice,97Please respect copyright.PENANAtARKclV1zq
Of her silence,97Please respect copyright.PENANAwYeaPCBtix
Of every name forgotten by time.97Please respect copyright.PENANAEGLjlwhlMG
97Please respect copyright.PENANASSVke8gCZq
"Then… how do I choose?"97Please respect copyright.PENANADts8ZvQNhT
He asked not the mirror now,97Please respect copyright.PENANATHEv0otBzl
But the entire world.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZMDoCl56i4
97Please respect copyright.PENANAmcW8B0kR02
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,97Please respect copyright.PENANACovhYwRdWB
"was never the answer—97Please respect copyright.PENANAhHoRj0okF1
only the cost."97Please respect copyright.PENANA9PoHDJ4Z3c
97Please respect copyright.PENANAycqBVZBQhr
He opened his eyes.97Please respect copyright.PENANAJHDahiM30R
97Please respect copyright.PENANAA4TM8jxrzY
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—97Please respect copyright.PENANAgcTXOpPREZ
An ending already written,97Please respect copyright.PENANAilEBoNY3mZ
Yet never spoken.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZNSUW33Qxn

You Remember Too Much97Please respect copyright.PENANAT4L5nHxhlu
97Please respect copyright.PENANAKxglHM5SmU
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,97Please respect copyright.PENANAAqVmx40q0F
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.97Please respect copyright.PENANA8BYbVBThgg
So now, only one question remains:97Please respect copyright.PENANAQPsIzquUNT
97Please respect copyright.PENANATXycf48nEA
Who will you remain for?"97Please respect copyright.PENANApszisNgnNl
97Please respect copyright.PENANAoKv33kJI0K
"You've always remembered,"97Please respect copyright.PENANAUs2i4s6o0z
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.97Please respect copyright.PENANAwLVRdZTXX9
97Please respect copyright.PENANA3aScR3hX41
"You just didn't want to admit it."97Please respect copyright.PENANAI3S53kwIq7
97Please respect copyright.PENANAXmDDWBKyij
"And you've never truly let go,"97Please respect copyright.PENANAfDiu1GpE5s
Li An-Qing's voice followed,97Please respect copyright.PENANACmFb1JGYda
Like light after the rain.97Please respect copyright.PENANAEuvkBJx01o
97Please respect copyright.PENANAVxrl7mqQ2x
"Because you know—97Please respect copyright.PENANAxnMMMEKshc
this was never yours to end."97Please respect copyright.PENANA76B3R0J4T6
97Please respect copyright.PENANACU4LeQiqVt
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.97Please respect copyright.PENANAZnca5TRviN
97Please respect copyright.PENANARhO95XPabw
Behind him—wreckage of the past.97Please respect copyright.PENANAHEfqkfuc7q
Before him—a nameless exit.97Please respect copyright.PENANAfnyNOGHIcT
97Please respect copyright.PENANAWTr7nFgh20
"If I can't become him…97Please respect copyright.PENANApumL8CLiis
and I can't just be myself…97Please respect copyright.PENANA3wxMGx9s9Z
what is left of me?"97Please respect copyright.PENANA8nmtpIxBp1
97Please respect copyright.PENANATONUwAQq9y
"Memory," they said in unison.97Please respect copyright.PENANAYa5q7EJRj5
97Please respect copyright.PENANAN9rR712nqS
Not names.97Please respect copyright.PENANAiBRThaJygz
Not roles.97Please respect copyright.PENANAnHWuzNgzRy
But something heavier—97Please respect copyright.PENANAwr4lVc9wER
A will strong enough to pierce time.97Please respect copyright.PENANAt3eYVj6HGs
97Please respect copyright.PENANA9bheY9tnff
If names fade, let them.97Please respect copyright.PENANAYkYCm3JWGt
If roles collapse, stop defining them.97Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Zk7vOaWY

"You don't need a name,"97Please respect copyright.PENANAkJu0yPdN5D
Yang An-Ting whispered.97Please respect copyright.PENANAAJx0lf070W
"Because now—you remember us."97Please respect copyright.PENANAEIJWxIaPrd
97Please respect copyright.PENANA624VdVOZFp
"You only need to keep walking,"97Please respect copyright.PENANAE2eD4mrweL
Li An-Qing said next.97Please respect copyright.PENANAoV88Tb5fmx
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."97Please respect copyright.PENANAlj8UnHmc8W
97Please respect copyright.PENANAI1e9qY4l5a
The fractures began to close—97Please respect copyright.PENANAUZVhKik8SQ
Not as an end,97Please respect copyright.PENANAyNQaztp33V
But as a silent reformation.97Please respect copyright.PENANAK5L6xIKWVm
97Please respect copyright.PENANAt5HAUxriUE
Shattered timelines intertwined,97Please respect copyright.PENANA1FrD90xIF1
Forming a new path—97Please respect copyright.PENANACNoYrW2MoC
Free of judgment,97Please respect copyright.PENANAnLjq6ryfu3
Free of labels,97Please respect copyright.PENANAre7ZBuDNeL
Free of the need to look back.97Please respect copyright.PENANARehQMUchKD
97Please respect copyright.PENANAn6KOyMgUGl
It was—97Please respect copyright.PENANAzmsqKnaCGK
97Please respect copyright.PENANAQO9y5104eN
The third way.97Please respect copyright.PENANAUP4b3J3SpQ
97Please respect copyright.PENANAAVen5LwZQn
