He didn't answer right away.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUyN17RB9x
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qFXG6jCq
Because he knew—it wasn't a question one could answer in a single breath.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRPVUs9R5p
It was a riddle that required the soul to slowly shed its layers,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OfQOzewMV
to be rewoven before it could respond.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0uLPhzNAk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QLiEiX0Du
"Do you think I still have a choice?" he whispered, as if asking himself.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TQ7ufY8DH
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zlwctZ3m8
"You were never given a choice,"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxNfLgDSMG
Bai Zi-Ming replied, his gaze calm like a still river,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1hh82YSpS
but with currents hidden deep beneath.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQBNrPOf1
"What you've always had—was burden."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqZIofhSE
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibZtP3O2wK
He tried to speak,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVDru8pZub
but his throat was parched,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NyiSQIJOx
his voice buried beneath layers of fractured time.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox6r1IVV2q
The ungrasped past, the names too dangerous to recall,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLcgoEvx3D
and the cross in his pocket—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hhljSwwe5
all pressed against his breath like a weight.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWi4Ag376h
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvy5quK8XM
"You want the truth behind the 281 days?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqc5kVTVg
Bai Zi-Ming asked suddenly, his voice nearly a whisper.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS1D2h9rSz
"Then understand this:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1px6aXgC5
your memory was never from a single source."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsWjOdVJ1M
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvMxuHTqgP
"…Meaning?" He looked up, brow furrowed.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM0O9VQynj
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXYhXx5Aw
"You've been… adjusted.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUat0mm2ky
Or rather, your time has been written, rewritten, and folded again."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUDF3SvziI
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7JivYrmUK
"Each moment you remember—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKtTRwqBFU
may come from yourself,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqNT7ZUeFF
another version of you,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rL10dVJZ
or a future that hasn't yet occurred."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy49uXFAnT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFk64mLzK
Silence stretched between them,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6YWr3YOA9
like the broken timeline unraveling inside his mind.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMwoRIJ5NR
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu490rbS7BX
He suddenly remembered the photo—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxCZlRMAOV
the clock frozen at 28:01.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3jFbWwWk0
It wasn't the end of time.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ic4wjVbri
It was a new beginning, in another form.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgzL6f1faW
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIz6084lPF
"So who am I now?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyWvSYrpMa
He asked softly. But this time, there was no tremble in his voice.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw8kfcqgHt
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PnblFw3nW
Bai Zi-Ming didn't answer immediately.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glW3VlxQv
Instead, he stepped closer, and said quietly, with clarity:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yXuydBlRl
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QkkH5XX2U
"You are the one who—across every version—chose to remain."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sk3Oqd2Dq
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXej0eJrV
The moment those words landed,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i4gIvtTGC
something inside him stirred—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcc7rrG0eL
not breaking,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfeGbSgH2Z
but realigning.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQSIzF7hIc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoKFAdzwTg
"When you're ready," Bai Zi-Ming said, turning into the shadows,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqo2ritOuF
"come back to me.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNEV7MHSoY
But remember—don't be late again.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR2un6Wyex
One more delay, and you will forget who you are."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2DZA0jMh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OCVdRiQbn
The lights in the hallway flickered,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvBR9SeYw
like a memory signal about to be severed.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdPKtIypOe
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd60Vl1YsUq
He stood still.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoo0cb0rTX
Didn't chase,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUhLHlBvDi
didn't turn back.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQesjtCXauc
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFjyHtnif9
Because he knew—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SYlATVYXz
the silence in that moment was already a kind of wordless promise.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrSCGLX5Gs
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3xCPL4ixb
He lifted a hand and held the cross in his pocket.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsAfurFz7
His fingertips trembled slightly.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfRX3NZgTX
It wasn't just cold metal—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjKM2WJ4uO
it was a key to every possibility.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16N6NQRaQI
A key to memory,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTceket6P1
and to the fate he could no longer avoid.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITLsYVrV0V
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjd0UGgpjt
The door was opening.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjobSbEaJDU
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOQW6Mzr0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnornlpfdY
---64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWY5guqB5o
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcC64mQMN2
When he left the LUOYEH base,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAtm1AbBfo
the sky outside hung between two extremes—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROzyTv536H
not day,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7D1Prxpyq
not night.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7jujD5yp
A soft light drifted through the air,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV05KRcNW5u
carrying whispers left unfinished.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQstfZl5tJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FYMaBIWrY
As he entered the alley,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P00RmeMXS
his phone screen lit up on its own.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNPQLjgzpB
The time flickered for a second, then displayed:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnCf3b39Mu
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqg4isuaZG
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) — 18:4064Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFenWr3US0
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf11awLxci
He froze.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EslPuQPXV
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0zCPXKja0
That was impossible.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhvsSkQBSm
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu1ajzONxx
When he entered the base, it was 3:47 PM.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrlitYpwxD
The conversation hadn't lasted more than a few minutes.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zGJvx1yXC
There should've been no gap of nearly three hours.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdKAzIzqeT
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtps01E07lK
Even stranger—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvngNRimDkf
he couldn't recall anything from the moment he left the inner room until now.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXbTkhex5v
As if someone had sliced out an entire stretch of memory—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK30eEAlV2
cleanly, surgically, without even ash remaining.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Pjm2jTpD
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2VQ0zGPFI
"How long have I walked again?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dAX46O0l8
he asked himself, voice so low not even the wind bothered to reply.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7FPWYE4OX
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RiKliwOZA
He opened his notes app,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b2oWJgIL9
intending to record what Bai Zi-Ming had said—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEYJVwLPoc
only to find a line he never remembered writing:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnizbwgTK
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lr7Hl2OVN
[Tuesday – fracture : 2/25, 03:00 tentative]64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6Bx33Rvd
[Reverse Axis remains unstable.]64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bPikUNS1d
[Do not return.]64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlIThEMPDZ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zsrQxr9WM
He hadn't written that.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4h5NAWgDO
But it was in his voice—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpAz7TQaYF
his format, his rhythm, his syntax.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWXc3onfxR
Exactly like something he'd write to his future self.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11sUAoKpuJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qkv2YgtFX
He tried deleting it—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA14Iureyh1
but nothing happened.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEnKWHKjh4
His finger brushed the screen,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YXgCl3Xgd
and the entire device seemed to chill.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtlDQmIAyj
Tiny static flickers danced across it—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKNU77dPy
like interference.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbOqLC80u
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aw58vTYOB
Then he knew—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQDDYlq8tZ
this wasn't a warning.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yGdx1A3Ia
This was a trace of timeline interference.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSj79HSj5O
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRlg5f3D96
He looked up quickly, scanning the distance.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jt8yeuZ5H
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZVFjh5p8X
At a far corner,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cReewa7jr
a figure flashed past—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM21SbVhT7
so like the reflection he'd once seen in a mirror.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf2Ph49l5c
But the stride was different, the posture foreign,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTJsnR15vH
the eyes not his.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstZMYqYQ6
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDAmNnjnWO
Yet—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSl1NxYx5
not entirely not his.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkmnfuJH8
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWrNiF0VQI
He turned sharply,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXpWa2QTfO
ready to chase—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BZIeO4R9m
but stopped.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08DwUnvaO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kuzbuqolu
Because he understood:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ghT1ar09s
if he approached,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGc9OuAGZf
he could never come back.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLhSc5u30C
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5GmkiJPDK
He whispered,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7koI4frRP
"28:01… is it beginning?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmERLYJJRJ
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RCvK6DSpT
He drew the cross from his pocket,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTwDBrCdP
held it in his palm—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBun4tcXSy
as if testing whether it would respond again.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQFxCyyOhh
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhltQVmu5jl
Cold.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6cf5Al8jO
Silent.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDiD395mtd
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy3sXbuIgL
But as his gaze settled on the point where the bars intersected,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwiQIpp79
he saw it—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciCQ4GHbPm
a fine fracture running along the surface,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2eTNO2BFA
and at a specific angle,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ba6vH2am3
a hidden reflection emerged:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOnqQLFDuM
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGCh0x9Z9
X-Ω Layer // Phase 1 Initiated64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EZwIbK5iE
First Reversal Expected: 火曜日 28:0164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebLwDA8bmO
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq0T7daWDz
Not "Tuesday".64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBEqXdJUTW
火曜日.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgLNA8ZSiH
He'd never seen that word in his phone or system—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEuqcCHfIQ
an ambiguous name,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPAUEOVlH
a term that only surfaced64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRT37tkR2R
when events had crossed into irreversibility.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsknpHjz6l3
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7YbrJVDHT
"He really did stay behind," he murmured.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w5mQxvGqy
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaevaSyvXV
"But now…64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaGoLflvTh
can I still leave?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEkgl4Wep9
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer4PytzrjM
No one answered—except the wind.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXbpxiIPj1
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDRMmnoENQ
The wind had never truly stopped.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjiDCLlR3y
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsQiA03LkY
And now,64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQQDCEDwkJ
it was no longer just the movement of air.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXbQUvFvyk
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYtHKZ2xhm
It was the echo of memory—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf8ZCS46ps
and of fate.8964 copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFzMw3XYz9 維尼
