Tuesday, November 5th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTeDciGRo
He returned to the precinct.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJ4esmNkd
No one had called him.No one expected him.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTtvIkvDAR
He simply walked in—uniform crisp, steps practiced, voice steady.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cvthRQ7u
As though nothing had happened.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiG1VDYR4y
Someone whispered:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZk2XIO2Q8
"Weren't you still on medical—?"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzUVlbeevs
He smiled.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1afe0s6GmF
His tone, clean and sharp:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ru88T7icy
"The system said I'm on duty today. So I came."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1Eiohsp7
Everything he did that day was flawless.Precise. Composed.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDud0cnCHTF
Except—he no longer signed documents "Yu Yong'an."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhlq5Xvure
He left them blank.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2xxrv9j9B

16:23.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXARsytzdOU
He requested the past three months of duty logs.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXiI5PMDUO
"I need to verify how many days I was absent."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XIDsvpfTL
The systems officer scanned the screen, troubled:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsP73GPVvm
"You've been here almost every week.At most, one missing day.Location logs, footage, signatures… it's all there.You've been working."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPYloM5wcB
He went quiet.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpPFPXPiCe
Then, softly:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7YB2yCX8Q
"…That wasn't me."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8F8Hu38nk
That night, in his notebook:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2Hffi5Lj
[2024.11.05｜Tuesday]I used to believe I was Zhang Yian, slowly being replaced.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfsFFI1iy5
But now I see—I was the backup,discarded outside the timeline.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtT302KNx
I only thought I was the original.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12yqykDyPN
I was never meant to appear.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv1sYwwzPO
I'm the one interfering with his integration.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZKKa14X1
That was the last time he could write in full sentences.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx035dPAKA

Friday, November 8th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQL5ZBqopA
He locked himself in an unused office.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKcj5YX4fm
No lights. No movement.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4astjv1jwi
When found hours later,he sat in a chair, whispering over and over:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mg87PLrfR
"The cross within the cross…it's more than memory."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsIKiaQWIH
His notebook lay open.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja8Op7FJ0q
Taped to the page—a drawing of the triple cross,and at its center: a number.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yby5rNs9D
12.17142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzLdauv8LU
It was as if he had foreseen a moment of closure.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlEzpskau
The AI mistook his murmuring loopas a language attack protocol gone wrong.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv5nCyeuww
—142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejh7YdyRMT
Tuesday, November 19th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfALL2XBaqO
He could no longer write.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXi4Q6ykO9
The pen trembled in his grip,but no marks came.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWzmVsyiWk
Only circles, and cross after cross—drawn endlessly.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3BhpuvdqS
In one surveillance clip, he appeared before a glass wall,scribbling what looked like a conversation:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAkP5MLMk7
Him: Are you still here?Reflection: I've been waiting for you to leave.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebFos62Ykq
Him: Can I walk out of here alive?Reflection: No. But you'll stay—just in another form.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIlAr6VgXw
The glass showed no writing.But when rewound in the footage,his words appeared—then vanished one by one.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaFAgl8kMw

Friday, November 22nd142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ407P3YgkAL
He attended the full-staff meeting.Silent. Sitting in the corner.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdLqaTTjTx
After the session,every attendee found the same handwritten line in their notes:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObRsx8vMye
"For December 17th, all members will review the Longjing migrant case.Prepare contingencies.Subject continuity terminates on that date—integration will begin."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5xwqIgaIq
No one remembered hearing it.No recordings contained it.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisiWkHkP8I
But the handwriting—identical in every journal.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cincj2a3j
Zhang Yian never claimed authorship.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHEIVam1m
After that day, he stopped responding.No words.No blinking.Only presence.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiGfRy3EH2
Like a letter sealed in time—waiting to be delivered.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfwK2mUGoJ
The Unified Self142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UiJVIyJp3

Tuesday, December 3rd142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrU36ur5aP
He arrived at the outskirts of the Longjing migrant factory.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd5oGaDyzX
No orders.No entry on the duty roster.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJzqkg7bko
Still, he wore his uniform.Badge straight. Movements precise.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4zfnyJDZQ
He was meant to be there.The reason—unspeakable.His body, already obedient.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBxhXRkNJG
CCTV caught him standing by a weathered wall, waiting.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iZNvpDsuh
Then, his hand touched the surface—and the footage glitched.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkgCRcr4kI
Static. Dropped frames.Then recovery.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVytXQSsLBN
The wall now bore a carved outline:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7XdocXqCs
A cross.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUMGKYca82

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.
---142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6osgZqntqG
Back at his desk, he found a note:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthnaZjSljw
[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.]142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLTCggJRQn
[December 17th is not the end.It's the day you become him.And he becomes you.]142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSOA3lQYZo
That night, he did not return.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllaLclXt2P

Friday, December 6th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YyPEEPQag
He was seen in the corridor,speaking to a reflective glass:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF025e9fzGD
"After Anqing died…he sealed away every version.Left only the weakest one to keep living…"142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5Uizmeu9
In his hand—142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhvg3X1Eg
The triple cross.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgACq5nnAxE
Its first real manifestation.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzvSHB2sYL
Metal. Glass. Unknown circuits.At its core: an untranslatable script.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVMHzpl6gn
They said he left it in the archives that night.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIRDoqYBAk
By morning—it was gone.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMtXIjtmMj
Only one system note remained:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OLVh2znVS

Tuesday, December 13th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGgskH5lmQ
He sat at the riverbank bench in Xinan.Eyes closed.A faint smile.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJa9vHcHk
He wasn't unraveling—he was letting go.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbYDBlMNty
A witness said:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvrVKuNoR
"He looked like he was listening to music.But his earphones weren't connected."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS5zLQE5sQ
He nodded with the silence.Mouthed words to the wind:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzt70jsSpy
"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."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJz8TGR92b
Words he had never said.Not Zhang's language.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxsSKi6X4Z
They were Yu Yong'an's.Or perhaps—both of theirs, finally merged into one voice.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsMJp4t6i

Tuesday, December 17th142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqenZ2Tw9
That day, duty records glitched.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Em7OEPak3
Every staff log had an extra handwritten line:142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyi2F5dMd
"AAN.112. Integration."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWrFpuqunp
No one wrote it.No one remembered it.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSXZ3JySvM
But the handwriting—identical across the precinct.As if one mind had moved through dozens of hands.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wV3Wp8e2

19:04.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu1V3eZwjH
CCTV showed him standing outside the precinct's front gate.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ryFfsGRZN
He had stood there for a long time.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGBBRajN4d
Waiting.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2tieISU98
Then he smiled.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Hi2y5ndP
"I'm here."142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJqoERTA7b
And disappeared.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWTMF9vzHP
Not walking away.Not stepping out of frame.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUz89sLstt
Just—gone, frame by frame.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBoZgSIkNW
