Tuesday, November 5th109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmDAgDT7Hm
He returned to the precinct.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcAwhkqc7d
No one had called him.No one expected him.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYG5GQ84Td
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5sGsvG1Xw
As though nothing had happened.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5XYybmjT7
Someone whispered:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUlIko9san
"Weren't you still on medical—?"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R9Mf4UTto
He smiled.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4pNGgnygS
His tone, clean and sharp:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj7IKfGR3a
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbu9rKQ6b
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1n0fbYftL
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6N7LHBh93
He left them blank.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h67b9Gymq

16:23.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2J5gOY44n
He requested the past three months of duty logs.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWJSsXKCwn
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTpi41oWWB
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf40IcWHBX
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OzXkNhGIi
He went quiet.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDIjjhupAc
Then, softly:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzztSlCYNTV
"…That wasn't me."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhP0J16Bpe
That night, in his notebook:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgI76Uii3o
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbQMJKfezS
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1KH8X2HL9
I only thought I was the original.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkXVgNBDl8
I was never meant to appear.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6fQ60Cl9D
I'm the one interfering with his integration.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUxoSNFT2M
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6pjV9W7d

Friday, November 8th109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ6DalmsbC
He locked himself in an unused office.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbivpMGDsm
No lights. No movement.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbRNkVSaY4
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYIGTLbhZ1
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0omCR8a3tX
His notebook lay open.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0azyO4w99
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMnM8K03Vm
12.17109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYwOhr8TQ1
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrre05DO9AU
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IEo1ImIcv

Tuesday, November 19th109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wfVwGHph8
He could no longer write.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwma5zqwOE
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQMwkqfvZG
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gvjZFrmpa
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkO1q5DCHQ
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D3XtEKthN
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNd1DqV0Tz
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcTVIPrJb

Friday, November 22nd109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡletu5a9sle
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgKQLJJQ1R
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq52OeDXXKd
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOJxuqXtzr
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWXyY7eZTq
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8nyEJMpyi
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjCbhfwGsy
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eYiEmnUff
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Mtn71Q3J

Tuesday, December 3rd109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDWP1fLrhl
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP5EIgYmI4
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1h51Xzodj
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxwFXKwEEn
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59W3CrmRks
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvGFH2Bd00
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpimA7w89
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu28s1h2Xi9
The wall now bore a carved outline:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYtOpBFQnp
A cross.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLLslbTjwg

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:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s7UWP6kIC
[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.]109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hMp9s2ljb

Friday, December 6th109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTZilytJZK
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2RiRA1V3
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStZtmkRcJq
In his hand—109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf5Bpl9nIJ
The triple cross.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7efUjDeTWb
Its first real manifestation.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Zim2HehK
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9RM9gVVqW
They said he left it in the archives that night.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZItKDRBZ3
By morning—it was gone.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBPF2C8gzY

Tuesday, December 13th109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue7SsFgXFR
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs198YXwAQf
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ee8XZMne0
A witness said:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4vTY7ODdi
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdR1WLL8x
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlkXYngElr
"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."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVKQR1Eeo
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dhrWU948k
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3k5wkMCEc

Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XBBwD2ISu
"AAN.112. Integration."109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lg5HzEZL
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwie6Z1ox1
