He didn't answer right away.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WUx8FEtFn
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNIHKtaFDy
Because he knew—it wasn't a question one could answer in a single breath.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSLoOrFPZO
It was a riddle that required the soul to slowly shed its layers,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUpmXyrlVW
to be rewoven before it could respond.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm17mq5686l
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VU5i7meUO
"Do you think I still have a choice?" he whispered, as if asking himself.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppXlohgp8
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQGOBUGDVK
"You were never given a choice,"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBhcIumfjS
Bai Zi-Ming replied, his gaze calm like a still river,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmraHRf623S
but with currents hidden deep beneath.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkKyYWEfTo
"What you've always had—was burden."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZ7JIXFqN
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUCjQ5r0Ve
He tried to speak,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FgW8J8TZb
but his throat was parched,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vxE2GEqvv
his voice buried beneath layers of fractured time.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZIexD9kgM
The ungrasped past, the names too dangerous to recall,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzq2siLa70
and the cross in his pocket—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndtiluoCjU
all pressed against his breath like a weight.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZGvQ2dR8E
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM4IhI2tYV
"You want the truth behind the 281 days?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUjdnroQki
Bai Zi-Ming asked suddenly, his voice nearly a whisper.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbdD8JbvX9
"Then understand this:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CXlzHgmEG
your memory was never from a single source."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ73WHudUK
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYFpwQ1Bw3
"…Meaning?" He looked up, brow furrowed.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNU1kCZDv5
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN932qXQxgg
"You've been… adjusted.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLfNCWsUQt
Or rather, your time has been written, rewritten, and folded again."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvU5gkdpZ4
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7AfFnueO
"Each moment you remember—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGC59t9ln7
may come from yourself,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMclzATfwrl
another version of you,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekOSbhpd0
or a future that hasn't yet occurred."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FKSMBTPaN
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXtVTIjFa
Silence stretched between them,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3nKIJ6eST
like the broken timeline unraveling inside his mind.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Bgikd3Qa
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m7Mc8lcoB
He suddenly remembered the photo—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZEqxbF0l
the clock frozen at 28:01.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3w140I9uW
It wasn't the end of time.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jBeT6LEQ
It was a new beginning, in another form.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ORAQpO8Yz
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvqSZNqMxW
"So who am I now?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMNrq617ky
He asked softly. But this time, there was no tremble in his voice.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzYp2qODYn
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRKUalPHBI
Bai Zi-Ming didn't answer immediately.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJFBSWfyqg
Instead, he stepped closer, and said quietly, with clarity:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfu2PhtTQ8
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuGOsCCkz9
"You are the one who—across every version—chose to remain."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzheaWRZQy
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0CbqYgkKp
The moment those words landed,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ky6MzGjHs
something inside him stirred—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGczNUZq0a
not breaking,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOzfpHDno3
but realigning.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRxW6fZ6c9
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSTOkBGF7
"When you're ready," Bai Zi-Ming said, turning into the shadows,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nIJQ4YtOR
"come back to me.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVIDo8wqBh
But remember—don't be late again.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5YpQHKbKX
One more delay, and you will forget who you are."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflOzV4pV7p
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAsV9Xb3gX
The lights in the hallway flickered,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9grXURaHa9
like a memory signal about to be severed.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vn4WF8ryT
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrZnh7Qlzf
He stood still.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9fjHnMTUO
Didn't chase,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxc9dHEcTu
didn't turn back.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEyIbjsnwD
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMJuIIET8
Because he knew—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvKX3KBf2z
the silence in that moment was already a kind of wordless promise.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaDiZCYMuW
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7F0c1OpIs
He lifted a hand and held the cross in his pocket.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdpHOzwAiq
His fingertips trembled slightly.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EPrnRK5pF
It wasn't just cold metal—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvf2qzPyHQ
it was a key to every possibility.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pK3XtTuke
A key to memory,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrOMvKIcKj
and to the fate he could no longer avoid.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnd15ew4Or
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafhAcT2AEu
The door was opening.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0VbheDU70

111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrn8XkoJ5w
---111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyymy1wB1K
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7iHYTlAox
When he left the LUOYEH base,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSSdsaoaEJ
the sky outside hung between two extremes—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh46aSiadV9
not day,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkjjMHZzjA
not night.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSW7mq4SRD
A soft light drifted through the air,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxhz05PXa
carrying whispers left unfinished.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YVjQGs3L7
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLsNmwBUU
As he entered the alley,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HR0MBxQFL
his phone screen lit up on its own.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqwPZwLLSe
The time flickered for a second, then displayed:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2np4TnZTi
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMO5eyQFun
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) — 18:40111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4mVDYBaiE
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS8KzzmUtR
He froze.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpHnrbdlmh
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5jZjDOQOJ
That was impossible.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j4a4qG1U4
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bi7TQwj6I
When he entered the base, it was 3:47 PM.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSTRb9UvxD
The conversation hadn't lasted more than a few minutes.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjimkBsaAM6
There should've been no gap of nearly three hours.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZJGRk2kb
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo3EWL6Mjm
Even stranger—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESVpkoh0oa
he couldn't recall anything from the moment he left the inner room until now.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXS66m49FX
As if someone had sliced out an entire stretch of memory—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6hgBzgx9Q
cleanly, surgically, without even ash remaining.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBPoOzhgTL
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAnt2rPksE
"How long have I walked again?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee23s3OyVQ
he asked himself, voice so low not even the wind bothered to reply.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X5p4iqvLw
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnffuHTyif
He opened his notes app,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1gnaNFkAR
intending to record what Bai Zi-Ming had said—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2u1ZKBOnF
only to find a line he never remembered writing:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVlsf9KNfH
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP25FRy2T2y
[Tuesday – fracture : 2/25, 03:00 tentative]111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpqWy1aMM8
[Reverse Axis remains unstable.]111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjSQJvmbJ2
[Do not return.]111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadc9mvDbYr
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM09KynMbK4
He hadn't written that.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ832lF38SpZ
But it was in his voice—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakVMHu4V8Y
his format, his rhythm, his syntax.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFASq7RYROd
Exactly like something he'd write to his future self.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Yq6McVDd
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIdCZLoHe
He tried deleting it—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmzlDplXOo
but nothing happened.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs8PWdJRnu
His finger brushed the screen,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6qIc0w9X
and the entire device seemed to chill.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQhklg7d9P
Tiny static flickers danced across it—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2pbcm4E9
like interference.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xqFpVTPc
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02xfrC3GLW
Then he knew—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGkEoqUCxw
this wasn't a warning.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64MX15McyC
This was a trace of timeline interference.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6ks5eJuql
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyAqe2w1XC
He looked up quickly, scanning the distance.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S3kocXZCH
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPJsPEWpuT
At a far corner,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9aCuGFjw7
a figure flashed past—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNshi8UVESs
so like the reflection he'd once seen in a mirror.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb35DhJ2xh
But the stride was different, the posture foreign,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHsHAN2eC0
the eyes not his.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUV91cxfL
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMrlGaYfJc
Yet—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvvQRWVCU
not entirely not his.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpZNuIgMvT
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuCYpSzbnN
He turned sharply,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTDGQR7hwo
ready to chase—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0XbUHUvB
but stopped.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmzrFQpx9f
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6kXC6ywKO
Because he understood:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RFSFqwhBX
if he approached,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFEWr6s5g0
he could never come back.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3MiLcs8AT
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLcYjQna7X
He whispered,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9qPLIG9Fl
"28:01… is it beginning?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZLcYQkCca
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5KbVm8UBv
He drew the cross from his pocket,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEosYvXxVoP
held it in his palm—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr8BhMNwXv
as if testing whether it would respond again.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckJzVlrFYc
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2oWnxL7M
Cold.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ik2anR8Zu
Silent.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqcefQCrW
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tmIbr3lHF
But as his gaze settled on the point where the bars intersected,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EKZxrrVXQ
he saw it—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7debhuoA9
a fine fracture running along the surface,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lqDHxKYli
and at a specific angle,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A1IJSibFF
a hidden reflection emerged:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42cTX0sRxX
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxosXn45UEH
X-Ω Layer // Phase 1 Initiated111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIKjCTMVNZ
First Reversal Expected: 火曜日 28:01111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGvUjXN4ao
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4knKXhKwCf
Not "Tuesday".111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtQy6yFKvr
火曜日.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7MpUQELeY
He'd never seen that word in his phone or system—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahTXxRoDTk
an ambiguous name,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn63I2UxIDF
a term that only surfaced111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9rsVvlD96
when events had crossed into irreversibility.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTT8cu8j5D
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs556aZhyEm
"He really did stay behind," he murmured.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHWmSUoK2o
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3Vw5S1IA
"But now…111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiq12rWSVX
can I still leave?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vS5NvwtGr
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9K085Bxy8
No one answered—except the wind.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN8GELJ1IL
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oXQ0ml8BU
The wind had never truly stopped.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyie7HqJUIo
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1oJtA07LN
And now,111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPQocHhoQ9
it was no longer just the movement of air.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS2otlRGXZ
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08OVZjcaAk
It was the echo of memory—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A8By7K6UU
and of fate.8964 copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2PtT5Bfwd 維尼
