Tuesday, November 5th26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyBLLoU8O
He returned to the precinct.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3PJ7BT7Es
No one had called him.No one expected him.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTF8VauABn
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUpYcKRYGr
As though nothing had happened.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwRdta8hub
Someone whispered:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRB8DDzC6W
"Weren't you still on medical—?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWurCkJr3o
He smiled.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOWrCZJEv5
His tone, clean and sharp:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqCWqvCpJo
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUVChAfFs
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NFHDyxrly
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRLm8GfyGQ
He left them blank.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0g7NsY1y

16:23.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGwWb1HYdG
He requested the past three months of duty logs.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd8X86y0Al
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NefuLeAge
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3XvkUOqpk
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOzMXW92vH
He went quiet.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd2j9la4fz
Then, softly:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHt7eQZi3r
"…That wasn't me."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uREnyj3d2
That night, in his notebook:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLdiLLIiQN
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKLynfRLbb
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE57FAwR8n
I only thought I was the original.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH0N9JbjE3
I was never meant to appear.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ik0zhRmP
I'm the one interfering with his integration.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWqJnatgIk
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ2Ba2bzrT

Friday, November 8th26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6jYy9SHSR
He locked himself in an unused office.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByw9WaykVT
No lights. No movement.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aefpsSyoO
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmIc1XiG5I
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ087qvFkAn6
His notebook lay open.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezOuzKhdg1
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmEUzRlCtj
12.1726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGMd5RU0fK
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4yposqI1N
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKadYacVc

Tuesday, November 19th26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdX7FlNtEL
He could no longer write.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcFj2YSxjn
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcZJqylmLI
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yrZEIcL9s
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfceKonThD
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQF7zDwKE
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8PiOBoyft
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoCkKjMtPj

Friday, November 22nd26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1vgK20wJ3
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Nw7WMqYK
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE909akMwbj
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7u7znUmv
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcrqPh8Syl
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ySrsy0c1U
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7iT2oDBNw
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDMZWWeDZ5
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i9b4x2hd0

Tuesday, December 3rd26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1037Wpaoe
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNNJduPLta
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnYZtQFh3c
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIXISqtHVl
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSIS8c7IX
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL18ORONo7H
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldnmgLFnNQ
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZKzRpNkRu
The wall now bore a carved outline:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrjGQlmt6b
A cross.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRcqsO99q

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:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXHcPqtzFY
[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.]26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOTDUSi8sD
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKow8nUsmC

Friday, December 6th26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pHNm6unSH
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKTLCjBk21
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYPkrIZgEl
In his hand—26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFp8UJzj4L
The triple cross.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWT7VwHTv9
Its first real manifestation.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVvAWLkwP4
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXXMJuLog
They said he left it in the archives that night.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcEEF4eoAv
By morning—it was gone.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyXsmbvInm

Tuesday, December 13th26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywqzO3Ae0x
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZChiLvFP5K
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjbMJaF3L5
A witness said:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCh9hM0xlc
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuBa2g8O6a
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lO5LEmcE
"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."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN1TAJEEuu
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyYC0lPv2k
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIta3EnkZYs

Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnSXmNYTnV
"AAN.112. Integration."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEwBKptg4g
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK0czy4h9c
