Tuesday, November 5th112Please respect copyright.PENANAqGMYAnEbfp
He returned to the precinct.112Please respect copyright.PENANAYjgxjlp6WQ
No one had called him.No one expected him.112Please respect copyright.PENANAoYoipSt1PN
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.112Please respect copyright.PENANALDT6DnMVMZ
As though nothing had happened.112Please respect copyright.PENANATVX8oGGUze
Someone whispered:112Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Y0jrJ56l
"Weren't you still on medical—?"112Please respect copyright.PENANAtufhyXLER1
He smiled.112Please respect copyright.PENANAwU3Dz4f0FC
His tone, clean and sharp:112Please respect copyright.PENANAUHtwIZbfEl
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."112Please respect copyright.PENANAtDUamSwUm7
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.112Please respect copyright.PENANAPsCeFE2K45
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."112Please respect copyright.PENANANYzdms5B1g
He left them blank.112Please respect copyright.PENANAp1buQaRz4s

16:23.112Please respect copyright.PENANAoV7DC1Xyw7
He requested the past three months of duty logs.112Please respect copyright.PENANA9fOc40toF6
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."112Please respect copyright.PENANAGJUdmras56
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:112Please respect copyright.PENANAQUJSMKvnIb
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."112Please respect copyright.PENANAvE96hiO91y
He went quiet.112Please respect copyright.PENANAYwGWKa3Lyi
Then, softly:112Please respect copyright.PENANAoaQH87McRu
"…That wasn't me."112Please respect copyright.PENANAkaBuoHqBTP
That night, in his notebook:112Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1PUdTpuB0
[2024.11.05|Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.112Please respect copyright.PENANA7tvCYm8esL
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.112Please respect copyright.PENANAQGYmOp9fLS
I only thought I was the original.112Please respect copyright.PENANAN6feIpSmYv
I was never meant to appear.112Please respect copyright.PENANAEJdfbMpK2v
I'm the one interfering with his integration.112Please respect copyright.PENANANZbmkPWzjw
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.112Please respect copyright.PENANAOWc58vbJjz

Friday, November 8th112Please respect copyright.PENANAbe8F5OGfen
He locked himself in an unused office.112Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7K5EHIW1I
No lights. No movement.112Please respect copyright.PENANAC7d32r93we
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:112Please respect copyright.PENANA33RE527avO
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."112Please respect copyright.PENANAlZNu062M8X
His notebook lay open.112Please respect copyright.PENANAUtxrfhpoQG
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.112Please respect copyright.PENANAI2PwVW46q0
12.17112Please respect copyright.PENANAynvUm4pHyd
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.112Please respect copyright.PENANA6e6iyQ1vId
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.112Please respect copyright.PENANAt76ByOAolA
—112Please respect copyright.PENANANNTgSp53Ek
Tuesday, November 19th112Please respect copyright.PENANAyIoykUITRP
He could no longer write.112Please respect copyright.PENANACDUNoHaiZn
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.112Please respect copyright.PENANAXoK89Yqk98
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.112Please respect copyright.PENANAHb17y7SzCN
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:112Please respect copyright.PENANA848aH6TZfl
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.112Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgENCIsSB
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.112Please respect copyright.PENANAVRrg6VNYes
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.112Please respect copyright.PENANA2iJV1HXGUk

Friday, November 22nd112Please respect copyright.PENANA5marQE7KI1
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.112Please respect copyright.PENANAbd4k69E557
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:112Please respect copyright.PENANA2rGjjLp1FD
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."112Please respect copyright.PENANAnUKX6gVZhg
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.112Please respect copyright.PENANAtW3sg51swG
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.112Please respect copyright.PENANA0sYECYgQzY
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.112Please respect copyright.PENANAUGdQ1qfltZ
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.112Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Cf7ZaRqf
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.112Please respect copyright.PENANAtjwBLh8U11

Tuesday, December 3rd112Please respect copyright.PENANA6iGIy127OA
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.112Please respect copyright.PENANAeHdd7xGCdq
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.112Please respect copyright.PENANAy2HftowAaQ
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.112Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Trpxqwm3
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.112Please respect copyright.PENANAX2fqzgobPd
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.112Please respect copyright.PENANAPgYOcxXIBd
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.112Please respect copyright.PENANASmRhJB8wqW
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.112Please respect copyright.PENANA2V59ImGbRf
The wall now bore a carved outline:112Please respect copyright.PENANAD0xYCECZDI
A cross.112Please respect copyright.PENANAmpiXml81wI

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:112Please respect copyright.PENANAoSQlXEFQjs
[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.]112Please respect copyright.PENANACE4k6PPk0M
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]112Please respect copyright.PENANA5skhKWzqRr
That night, he did not return.112Please respect copyright.PENANAKEhr1OFXgZ

Friday, December 6th112Please respect copyright.PENANAtD7a7C2R2D
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:112Please respect copyright.PENANARQWiNlPIUV
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"112Please respect copyright.PENANAjbWtMtNCgo
In his hand—112Please respect copyright.PENANAupbkIRwtls
The triple cross.112Please respect copyright.PENANA8SsR1rT8ye
Its first real manifestation.112Please respect copyright.PENANAqt1xARwIkb
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.112Please respect copyright.PENANA7614WK86JI
They said he left it in the archives that night.112Please respect copyright.PENANAIJjWHSM81E
By morning—it was gone.112Please respect copyright.PENANA19ZMH7EZFV

Tuesday, December 13th112Please respect copyright.PENANA5VuC5xqfrQ
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.112Please respect copyright.PENANAXR6yZVoXfo
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.112Please respect copyright.PENANAHcv3YuOxzP
A witness said:112Please respect copyright.PENANARDjeyAbV86
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."112Please respect copyright.PENANAdqA4iILHM6
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:112Please respect copyright.PENANAc3JmNBFa4S
"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."112Please respect copyright.PENANAWsvgCuu7Xp
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.112Please respect copyright.PENANApuFx7Ooyqv
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.112Please respect copyright.PENANAz2lFncd8Vo

Tuesday, December 17th112Please respect copyright.PENANAtHyGVvrZ3S
That day, duty records glitched.112Please respect copyright.PENANAuV7qeW4gZH
Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:112Please respect copyright.PENANAlfdSulyPAr
"AAN.112. Integration."112Please respect copyright.PENANAyYFL0xxqY4
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.112Please respect copyright.PENANAI2NvBP4w2N
But the handwriting—identical across the precinct.As if one mind had moved through dozens of hands.112Please respect copyright.PENANABMErXuv3Tx
—112Please respect copyright.PENANAACHWHcgUqm
19:04.112Please respect copyright.PENANAx6vMGd2ZII
CCTV showed him standing outside the precinct's front gate.112Please respect copyright.PENANAFE0GXIQCFF
He had stood there for a long time.112Please respect copyright.PENANA5ccOmNRwF1
Waiting.112Please respect copyright.PENANAIS8st4fkz9
Then he smiled.112Please respect copyright.PENANAVCEHkm5c1l
"I'm here."112Please respect copyright.PENANAgzq5d4ffuF
And disappeared.112Please respect copyright.PENANAKTfKoaSttG
Not walking away.Not stepping out of frame.112Please respect copyright.PENANA6OifF08DlC
Just—gone, frame by frame.112Please respect copyright.PENANAQcx2ou1p1D
