The voice echoed softly, almost like an interrogation.125Please respect copyright.PENANAR5U9UfS7TK
125Please respect copyright.PENANA7kf3OmwsAf
"But then why… do I still feel like two people trapped in the same body?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAjOpohNcGvn
125Please respect copyright.PENANAzuXnkbomMM
A heavy silence followed, stretched and suspended between timelines.125Please respect copyright.PENANA6OtgxcbQ14
Zhang Huan-An—no, perhaps it was Yu Yong-An—stood before the mirror, unable to tell who had spoken.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUpzGW22dp7
Was it himself? A residue?125Please respect copyright.PENANAEfKFFEjFY0
Or a ghost never chosen?125Please respect copyright.PENANAaWC8MAJybE
125Please respect copyright.PENANA1l6hcTienN
"I remember your memories," he whispered, fingertips grazing the cold mirror.125Please respect copyright.PENANAGIuRqqiZah
"But they… don't belong to me. Not entirely."125Please respect copyright.PENANArNjUAUK5Mo
125Please respect copyright.PENANAunJ0mntpEr
From deep within, a voice emerged—not in words, but like a pulse echoing through his veins.125Please respect copyright.PENANABo1fSn1Doo
125Please respect copyright.PENANAVLwefCIcO4
"Then tell me—whose life did you live during those 281 days?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAzRziooknri
125Please respect copyright.PENANAYzjEcDIyi3
He gave no answer.125Please respect copyright.PENANA7ND1xZxH9g
125Please respect copyright.PENANAnj2PH85oMT
The reflection stared back at him—almost identical, yet not quite.125Please respect copyright.PENANAcbv6IVYznk
The posture was his, the scars too.125Please respect copyright.PENANA4fb6yesyvK
But the eyes… they carried a weight he had never known.125Please respect copyright.PENANAmB54AIIDDJ
As if from a season of dreams, shattered and reassembled deep within time.125Please respect copyright.PENANA8pwuYDzmvl
125Please respect copyright.PENANAkZT8xzCFeE
"Do you remember the rooftop? That rain?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAfkv7KoOXC5
The voice pressed closer.125Please respect copyright.PENANASnB5HopNNA
"That was my fear. My ending. And now, it's become yours."125Please respect copyright.PENANAmC4QJqUIJV
125Please respect copyright.PENANAsGV9cUzDxS
He turned away.125Please respect copyright.PENANAh7eeuw3geK
Behind him, the room lay dim and still, the air thick with undisturbed dust.125Please respect copyright.PENANA2tT5fGM5IW
Since his awakening, nothing here had changed—yet the world was no longer the same.125Please respect copyright.PENANArywWM25Q9i
125Please respect copyright.PENANAq7JedMr4oZ
"They say fusion brings peace," he murmured.125Please respect copyright.PENANA2WWCAdMwJG
"But this feels more like exile. I can't go back… and I can't move forward."125Please respect copyright.PENANActdC8RsLlt
125Please respect copyright.PENANARAWPgynDPo
"Then—choose."125Please respect copyright.PENANAWlPHvGB3Tm
125Please respect copyright.PENANA10KOL7lPJ5
The voice returned. This time, not from within—but behind him.125Please respect copyright.PENANA0F470UclzV
He didn't look back.125Please respect copyright.PENANA1pN6w9acdk
He knew nothing would be there.125Please respect copyright.PENANAwibhLbLdym
And yet, he heard it.125Please respect copyright.PENANAHJltTWTyWF
125Please respect copyright.PENANA7bNb38Sh38
"Choose which one of you will remain."125Please respect copyright.PENANAKj6dihDaqk
125Please respect copyright.PENANAimGNDdppEQ
He clenched his fists.125Please respect copyright.PENANAqh9UCKrQvt
"Zhang Huan-An" and "Yu Yong-An"—names layered like truths,125Please respect copyright.PENANAfmL9620ZPW
Too real to abandon,125Please respect copyright.PENANAiTeVlSMYiS
Too entangled to claim.125Please respect copyright.PENANAiQbDkgdYU9
125Please respect copyright.PENANAiNqJjIWRVR
"What if I don't want to be either?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAxHhi1gB5Zh
He asked the air, voice hoarse.125Please respect copyright.PENANAhAriid5to0
125Please respect copyright.PENANAsGySOOo1SK
"Then become—125Please respect copyright.PENANAzflbScPFkP
the memory that survived the collapse."125Please respect copyright.PENANAW7tLLHDL7L
125Please respect copyright.PENANA7jR6s81F6U
The mirror cracked.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUfKPEfP41I
125Please respect copyright.PENANACXNBgmQ95B
Not from pressure.125Please respect copyright.PENANA8PuWIsWOsz
Not from sound.125Please respect copyright.PENANA0WTSWMDxOg
125Please respect copyright.PENANAbQIHcZ8xZJ
But from time.125Please respect copyright.PENANAtK0FQimkao
125Please respect copyright.PENANAElzHwqwGZs
As the fissure split the reflection in two, he finally understood:125Please respect copyright.PENANAifO17KEWEn
They had never truly been separate.125Please respect copyright.PENANANkyS1TqBTO
And now, they could never fully merge.125Please respect copyright.PENANAQEkgesuUC7
125Please respect copyright.PENANAkBIy6RqyqB
They could only—125Please respect copyright.PENANAx2YxRo6Zuy
125Please respect copyright.PENANARSJY28GgmV
Overlay.125Please respect copyright.PENANAzHidymBxxk
Fracture.125Please respect copyright.PENANAOCscBiwLTZ
Echo.125Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q2Zu9nNm9

Reflections That Do Not Return125Please respect copyright.PENANARFsVwq4exQ
125Please respect copyright.PENANACqQhyuTebQ
When the mirror shattered, time broke with it.125Please respect copyright.PENANAjqOUxjJX0V
125Please respect copyright.PENANAVLko3107gl
Cracks spread like a spider's web, and within each one—125Please respect copyright.PENANAK17rGrMWmU
A different version of himself emerged:125Please respect copyright.PENANAsUQZYHe99X
Some young, some aged.125Please respect copyright.PENANAkcV6V3RBaM
Some cold and distant, others brimming with unshed tears.125Please respect copyright.PENANAPWhTqqTh5v
125Please respect copyright.PENANAZgTk0gbCM3
"Are these… all me?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAtjmWLlFJUc
125Please respect copyright.PENANApbbanLAZEc
His voice trembled in the still air—was he asking the mirror,125Please respect copyright.PENANAvd943VCjCm
Or questioning the soul splintered before him?125Please respect copyright.PENANAUGdabUtA4p
125Please respect copyright.PENANAeA7Bmw1VjN
A shard fell, its chime like a soft wind bell.125Please respect copyright.PENANApD0alIYJZJ
But it reflected not the room—125Please respect copyright.PENANABidOKIQHbd
125Please respect copyright.PENANAXSdZEHAwYt
It reflected time:125Please respect copyright.PENANAYETyrLCpXK
125Please respect copyright.PENANAaUWBIYW2ZW
A Friday dusk,125Please respect copyright.PENANAuYksIRl2YD
A Tuesday's echo,125Please respect copyright.PENANAJAE5qD6Rwz
The moment the cross appeared,125Please respect copyright.PENANAV3EWUKaf76
And the last turn of her figure.125Please respect copyright.PENANAp2zcYGNaBq
125Please respect copyright.PENANA9oBCrA9r1y
"You didn't choose an identity,"125Please respect copyright.PENANAKC1tpZQvMt
A voice spoke—gentle, calm.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUr6U7P2VRq
Neither Yang An-Ting nor Li An-Qing,125Please respect copyright.PENANA9bTTbDkbtZ
And yet, it held the luminous tenderness of both.125Please respect copyright.PENANAWBNSEadJzc
125Please respect copyright.PENANAdugOVpvmXY
"You chose the version of yourself—125Please respect copyright.PENANAoARWIuy0yb
that could survive."125Please respect copyright.PENANAUoRa83OlUL
125Please respect copyright.PENANAgZg6CQnaWr
He stared at the fragments.125Please respect copyright.PENANAq9eImR8AFF
Each one, a future with no return.125Please respect copyright.PENANAAU4fAV31y9
125Please respect copyright.PENANAYBv6cP9Eis
"And what if… I choose nothing?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAB2tPSxHnBt
He asked, barely audible.125Please respect copyright.PENANABBPwuHLfv9
125Please respect copyright.PENANAcGRWoRATBv
"Then you'll be trapped—125Please respect copyright.PENANAdYSRteRdRT
within this fracture,125Please respect copyright.PENANAaovPlnjGSy
until the next cycle calls you back."125Please respect copyright.PENANAVJDLTV5wQC
125Please respect copyright.PENANAkLHYvvsIQy
Silence again.125Please respect copyright.PENANAkucmlTSWhn
125Please respect copyright.PENANA7b7QS0YFUk
Then he whispered:125Please respect copyright.PENANAYRXZGepcjd
125Please respect copyright.PENANATJ76lXohMC
"I don't want to wake up again…125Please respect copyright.PENANAxDneC4HbBM
if waking means forgetting her."125Please respect copyright.PENANAcQplxuOYV5
125Please respect copyright.PENANALZ3fio2R6W
The mirror flickered.125Please respect copyright.PENANAZTqzUqFSYD
125Please respect copyright.PENANAZGxzKRtvtn
Memories surfaced, playing on their own—125Please respect copyright.PENANAgRO1wW017F
125Please respect copyright.PENANAAp2wKWBhcd
"You'll forget what I said,"125Please respect copyright.PENANAtwtPUmPuLd
"But you'll remember the sky had dimmed…125Please respect copyright.PENANAl8dPosoisj
and that I never left."125Please respect copyright.PENANAL1KcSa8H6d
125Please respect copyright.PENANAtqMtIyXMco
It was her voice—Li An-Qing.125Please respect copyright.PENANAtOgJU2lN68
The eternity hidden within Friday.125Please respect copyright.PENANASzzNghag1z
125Please respect copyright.PENANAavlsKABlsB
No ticking clock,125Please respect copyright.PENANAPcnoK3Y6Ff
No urgency.125Please respect copyright.PENANAFk7Yv4nzxg
125Please respect copyright.PENANAUIv1HgEBOU
Only breath—125Please respect copyright.PENANAd85bzBm7kH
And something deeper still:125Please respect copyright.PENANA3AeM5r5z4p
The echo of his own heartbeat,125Please respect copyright.PENANAh6rhspjThT
splintering across time.125Please respect copyright.PENANAtbudPqfcDl
125Please respect copyright.PENANAP01sjDiIBE
A single crack stretched across the floor,125Please respect copyright.PENANA9xNa8bcTUd
As if time itself could no longer bear its own weight.125Please respect copyright.PENANA4F6RL5KaYt
125Please respect copyright.PENANA8ksdpcSlzy
One wrong step,125Please respect copyright.PENANAWDYZBu55Yy
And he'd fall into a past that no longer welcomed him.125Please respect copyright.PENANAEHcTr9c0Ng
125Please respect copyright.PENANAGEo40AxnQp
He knelt and picked up a shard.125Please respect copyright.PENANAXAP3aY1aOh
Its surface stirred memory—125Please respect copyright.PENANAwKIWnezbik
Not his own, but sharp enough to wound.125Please respect copyright.PENANA0ob2nF9ath
125Please respect copyright.PENANAc1BnpCauaL
"He said he'd come back… He promised."125Please respect copyright.PENANAJz2wKWSu4z
125Please respect copyright.PENANA7zzRaz5dVA
It was Yang An-Ting's voice—125Please respect copyright.PENANArlEG7JMg9O
Young, certain, full of hope.125Please respect copyright.PENANAZdwAZRzYqh
125Please respect copyright.PENANASqUzasiw82
Another shard revealed Li An-Qing,125Please respect copyright.PENANACRijdBxlxi
Standing at the end of an abandoned railway.125Please respect copyright.PENANAK5gaNp8BbC
In her eyes, a timestamp flickered:125Please respect copyright.PENANA8mYvNQr9GE
2025.2.19 // 28:01125Please respect copyright.PENANAXypmsPJtu2
125Please respect copyright.PENANAd2cPGU0GxC
She whispered—125Please respect copyright.PENANAXEMokoFBk4
125Please respect copyright.PENANAEe7LPsgFXz
"Memory isn't meant for forgetting.125Please respect copyright.PENANAsCsoUFBvzG
It's meant—for choosing."125Please respect copyright.PENANA9pl5djnooV
125Please respect copyright.PENANAwDqhFn5HEX
Something within him stirred—125Please respect copyright.PENANAVEYXo45RVI
First gentle,125Please respect copyright.PENANAWi3olTCRH5
Then forceful,125Please respect copyright.PENANA6mLj99HKdj
Almost irresistible.125Please respect copyright.PENANAoMUsuklhrR
125Please respect copyright.PENANAEQUHo8aYCM
A pull born of her voice,125Please respect copyright.PENANA1t2euBeZpK
Of her silence,125Please respect copyright.PENANAqePKXRqOKi
Of every name forgotten by time.125Please respect copyright.PENANAoDnQWP8Ijc
125Please respect copyright.PENANAB1YXTxT3l2
"Then… how do I choose?"125Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q49Srx0qX
He asked not the mirror now,125Please respect copyright.PENANAwld3cRoKB7
But the entire world.125Please respect copyright.PENANAiBRDSQXXsq
125Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9t3uPBF1
"Choice," the voice replied through the glass,125Please respect copyright.PENANAag8a2fl65I
"was never the answer—125Please respect copyright.PENANAn1sQMxtm1t
only the cost."125Please respect copyright.PENANABoxZchiRiw
125Please respect copyright.PENANAxCWc7QtO7K
He opened his eyes.125Please respect copyright.PENANAusPeBIpDG1
125Please respect copyright.PENANAWIj9EnhCeX
The fractures now pushed him toward an edge—125Please respect copyright.PENANAKCTKWzNaWp
An ending already written,125Please respect copyright.PENANANmof8wz85u
Yet never spoken.125Please respect copyright.PENANACist4dtAUN
125Please respect copyright.PENANAUmWR8ECYyy
125Please respect copyright.PENANA60GasBDH6A
---125Please respect copyright.PENANAoI3dx1BzU3
125Please respect copyright.PENANAHbAsiO9YSK
You Remember Too Much125Please respect copyright.PENANAebxmcLj4jG
125Please respect copyright.PENANAq8oNx7gkyQ
"You remember too much," the voice murmured,125Please respect copyright.PENANAKnmRspe7eq
"And you've forgotten even more than you realize.125Please respect copyright.PENANAXqN877SEgR
So now, only one question remains:125Please respect copyright.PENANAnuOUwbxmby
125Please respect copyright.PENANAptWkYc5oWG
Who will you remain for?"125Please respect copyright.PENANAjAWhiFTIpq
125Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Pey6O2aZ
"You've always remembered,"125Please respect copyright.PENANART4EYdgAyg
Yang An-Ting's voice, soft yet unwavering.125Please respect copyright.PENANA68Bdyd24F9
125Please respect copyright.PENANAjeVFxNIPQD
"You just didn't want to admit it."125Please respect copyright.PENANADWcsmrkSm2
125Please respect copyright.PENANAkrJqNPhGpr
"And you've never truly let go,"125Please respect copyright.PENANARxa0AdLNuq
Li An-Qing's voice followed,125Please respect copyright.PENANA5f6QwL3xB5
Like light after the rain.125Please respect copyright.PENANAHSl5PrC34O
125Please respect copyright.PENANAuGT3Zl4bGR
"Because you know—125Please respect copyright.PENANAPrLt9ApeUy
this was never yours to end."125Please respect copyright.PENANAMTFHRw0eqx
125Please respect copyright.PENANALSnPY4Yrjy
He stood between the mirror and the fracture.125Please respect copyright.PENANAaYcImCVBgL
125Please respect copyright.PENANAsAmyilIAU5
Behind him—wreckage of the past.125Please respect copyright.PENANA1vRbwJuxqB
Before him—a nameless exit.125Please respect copyright.PENANA2foHAX8PBO
125Please respect copyright.PENANAglPrzOEDZf
"If I can't become him…125Please respect copyright.PENANAPR9FT1wPAe
and I can't just be myself…125Please respect copyright.PENANAEWhFPQpNoh
what is left of me?"125Please respect copyright.PENANABBLEfpPoVh
125Please respect copyright.PENANAsiwuyv5FNi
"Memory," they said in unison.125Please respect copyright.PENANA6tvnn051im
125Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dx3itvSf9
Not names.125Please respect copyright.PENANAzAbzfPVMQW
Not roles.125Please respect copyright.PENANAC7oUrQcxq6
But something heavier—125Please respect copyright.PENANA6qrggWvOPS
A will strong enough to pierce time.125Please respect copyright.PENANARaGnCeuLIq
125Please respect copyright.PENANA721EFfLOxp
If names fade, let them.125Please respect copyright.PENANAwZd0Wk6Gpr
If roles collapse, stop defining them.125Please respect copyright.PENANAn1y4VOgEJ6
125Please respect copyright.PENANA54Fv944ypf
"You don't need a name,"125Please respect copyright.PENANAkIkbK5zEfe
Yang An-Ting whispered.125Please respect copyright.PENANAAek5rOCkLl
"Because now—you remember us."125Please respect copyright.PENANAcOyr2nlM7c
125Please respect copyright.PENANAkzZlPiSMdG
"You only need to keep walking,"125Please respect copyright.PENANAzFDv3YVsos
Li An-Qing said next.125Please respect copyright.PENANAx5uHEqE2eW
"Not for anyone. Not even for yourself."125Please respect copyright.PENANAYGoWiqcdpB
125Please respect copyright.PENANARdaHvvbmGp
The fractures began to close—125Please respect copyright.PENANAPjA3aAnLpI
Not as an end,125Please respect copyright.PENANAYnBfZ7NIPV
But as a silent reformation.125Please respect copyright.PENANAm2mZ589TaK
125Please respect copyright.PENANA3ykyzaEBk8
Shattered timelines intertwined,125Please respect copyright.PENANAxypxVfo2V0
Forming a new path—125Please respect copyright.PENANA5whId0IvJ3
Free of judgment,125Please respect copyright.PENANAXNFnQcKNyk
Free of labels,125Please respect copyright.PENANAv0EFENYMSW
Free of the need to look back.125Please respect copyright.PENANARSaMRsEOyC
125Please respect copyright.PENANAQLolx0jOme
It was—125Please respect copyright.PENANAtiLujDKkOI
125Please respect copyright.PENANA6FiFdrQOpX
The third way.125Please respect copyright.PENANAAjMSfWqIID
125Please respect copyright.PENANARDKntGfYP4
Not return.125Please respect copyright.PENANAZb4feFkyZm
Not repetition.125Please respect copyright.PENANAUzMQpOeVqd
125Please respect copyright.PENANAQfH5fAC8dg
But—125Please respect copyright.PENANAsWYSfX5mbb
125Please respect copyright.PENANAN7vutivPdi
A future with no name.
