He returned to the precinct.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDZZzmYhX3
No one had called him.No one expected him.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4yuEktjOo
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kdbv20Ars
As though nothing had happened.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXxcdbFxwB
Someone whispered:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YH9tl8v8
"Weren't you still on medical—?"41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJmd0MjVAd
He smiled.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJ2NuPMTZ
His tone, clean and sharp:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Crrc4xcL
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjPHfKQIVO
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3A00rOZx8
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3YUlWO7Ia
He left them blank.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcwjYLAJza

He requested the past three months of duty logs.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyniuellQq
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cVLjkUoa3
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3gyDU08H9
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNp2WZyrYK
He went quiet.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSexePwKpN6
Then, softly:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs4c05baxG
"…That wasn't me."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zy2lhpUQf
That night, in his notebook:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDkmY9mfv0
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJhvo0xi7
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6oOpAZDkS
I only thought I was the original.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrLKDon56X
I was never meant to appear.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHN7VYPOjB
I'm the one interfering with his integration.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6RD3XhoFS
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPiXiHgGkE

Friday, November 8th41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWyjK5QiIM
He locked himself in an unused office.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox7fzv5dum
No lights. No movement.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYixnlqUT
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWLwHUIqlM
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QfFsZbta6
His notebook lay open.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPOc3UHxc
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ260bHazoqh
12.1741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthJjXMxe0j
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzdHTnA7G

Tuesday, November 19th41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm2rhhJ4YA
He could no longer write.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVL7Yhj8F
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pbDOfGFn3
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRLD9EfzO
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmtTb01YTi
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQYLIzCF7g
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHz4RalaSU
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBAbxUgnq

Friday, November 22nd41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBwZoORyNb
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjdLtsDoyI
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0zS3Mmdxf
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiliJvxIDX
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTpgTIe2pl
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8oioUlFKA
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhngbCWrGuk
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXVwnyogu
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnZ4jLlTk

Tuesday, December 3rd41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleqsppA0Cu
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwOHHGZvRd
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhijPyc9O8
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjTrVn2y5z
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnImU84LuF
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ6cP4d9J9
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgLEX2pWx
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d0G0WcJQ0
The wall now bore a carved outline:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UczY3Hvna
A cross.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmVW1GjXam

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:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTou9m4MPI
[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.]41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjGQHpvAYr

Friday, December 6th41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMbRhVRS6G
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtby93bzkH3
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd6uzrIfrx
In his hand—41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoodt0h1e9
The triple cross.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBD7KtsmtB
Its first real manifestation.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6CZYcaruE
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGzxMs2xs5
They said he left it in the archives that night.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PXDQfh3pm
By morning—it was gone.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznWTLDNE6H

Tuesday, December 13th41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhMixab59
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrimbBDpwk
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4EpDzW0iv
A witness said:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAW87wb4Mf
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9slXvVLg
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6od8Fun8a
"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."41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0s26Wwxq2
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUjdhkBJL
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdKhZXN0hh

Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIzGUP3NIF
