He didn't answer right away.149Please respect copyright.PENANA6WseMeCRxC
149Please respect copyright.PENANAjjZSoZrJMl
Because he knew—it wasn't a question one could answer in a single breath.149Please respect copyright.PENANAVbjO6JOGGA
It was a riddle that required the soul to slowly shed its layers,149Please respect copyright.PENANAKI5gQAFukr
to be rewoven before it could respond.149Please respect copyright.PENANAN8lIjSEYYS
149Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Sb5FQP5j
"Do you think I still have a choice?" he whispered, as if asking himself.149Please respect copyright.PENANAIRKHM3B1qB
149Please respect copyright.PENANA4Wn7EoHyZv
"You were never given a choice,"149Please respect copyright.PENANAvNn7v37w8J
Bai Zi-Ming replied, his gaze calm like a still river,149Please respect copyright.PENANAVU7VCROXW8
but with currents hidden deep beneath.149Please respect copyright.PENANAw9ke1F5lvs
"What you've always had—was burden."149Please respect copyright.PENANAaUAnnpfcEW
149Please respect copyright.PENANAfaH6FK5CVg
He tried to speak,149Please respect copyright.PENANATGLTVt9SoN
but his throat was parched,149Please respect copyright.PENANAvz4MxLMuKl
his voice buried beneath layers of fractured time.149Please respect copyright.PENANAwZh7pjMuZ8
The ungrasped past, the names too dangerous to recall,149Please respect copyright.PENANAjR3kVPr917
and the cross in his pocket—149Please respect copyright.PENANAgXxJsdcJGk
all pressed against his breath like a weight.149Please respect copyright.PENANAtGIV4JM5xm
149Please respect copyright.PENANAH4b2iow5ws
"You want the truth behind the 281 days?"149Please respect copyright.PENANAi74NlEBKSC
Bai Zi-Ming asked suddenly, his voice nearly a whisper.149Please respect copyright.PENANAzsfZ8CXSXt
"Then understand this:149Please respect copyright.PENANAXZBUS86vAy
your memory was never from a single source."149Please respect copyright.PENANAL0aP7tpRHs
149Please respect copyright.PENANAx8KZxAqUNv
"…Meaning?" He looked up, brow furrowed.149Please respect copyright.PENANAwGBtxEnBcW
149Please respect copyright.PENANA4sNLI16LBZ
"You've been… adjusted.149Please respect copyright.PENANAkHnjXCjkHR
Or rather, your time has been written, rewritten, and folded again."149Please respect copyright.PENANAbtlRzPax3A
149Please respect copyright.PENANA2tEr5dxhu8
"Each moment you remember—149Please respect copyright.PENANAfRKxzKP2UQ
may come from yourself,149Please respect copyright.PENANAzqx3KRmD3T
another version of you,149Please respect copyright.PENANAzWnVVw9wJc
or a future that hasn't yet occurred."149Please respect copyright.PENANAySZj24ETyu
149Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIOJGg0Vl
Silence stretched between them,149Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Ld3iPB9H
like the broken timeline unraveling inside his mind.149Please respect copyright.PENANApWeWfwFhN3
149Please respect copyright.PENANAylGISxr6jL
He suddenly remembered the photo—149Please respect copyright.PENANA5HkcNsKi5m
the clock frozen at 28:01.149Please respect copyright.PENANAJheQyCoGLP
It wasn't the end of time.149Please respect copyright.PENANA9fSrwbnJMR
It was a new beginning, in another form.149Please respect copyright.PENANAmsWTpyffcr
149Please respect copyright.PENANAqXb0iAW9dI
"So who am I now?"149Please respect copyright.PENANAApIQTkc0pc
He asked softly. But this time, there was no tremble in his voice.149Please respect copyright.PENANA5xhkGATPuS
149Please respect copyright.PENANANWwVyKVnpd
Bai Zi-Ming didn't answer immediately.149Please respect copyright.PENANALd2QqhR8pv
Instead, he stepped closer, and said quietly, with clarity:149Please respect copyright.PENANA2wyGlkVsHq
149Please respect copyright.PENANA8NJJlZXEAx
"You are the one who—across every version—chose to remain."149Please respect copyright.PENANAMjSBhjqZ92
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9l1qaf7PKT
The moment those words landed,149Please respect copyright.PENANASpexRpVVXo
something inside him stirred—149Please respect copyright.PENANAwvlUkxx69k
not breaking,149Please respect copyright.PENANATcbHtluAXm
but realigning.149Please respect copyright.PENANALJN6JXzYSV
149Please respect copyright.PENANAeJxjmHDfcW
"When you're ready," Bai Zi-Ming said, turning into the shadows,149Please respect copyright.PENANADLZnrp5H59
"come back to me.149Please respect copyright.PENANAGsm1YE6KS6
But remember—don't be late again.149Please respect copyright.PENANAxRC8N5Uc3l
One more delay, and you will forget who you are."149Please respect copyright.PENANAC2BWMzx8DT
149Please respect copyright.PENANAuyyCvk09To
The lights in the hallway flickered,149Please respect copyright.PENANABrAlh4hju9
like a memory signal about to be severed.149Please respect copyright.PENANALDPK8qPyIl
149Please respect copyright.PENANAMqr3uwe8RX
He stood still.149Please respect copyright.PENANAp6FTQWmxW9
Didn't chase,149Please respect copyright.PENANASGcala0R01
didn't turn back.149Please respect copyright.PENANABjm0YBsvVo
149Please respect copyright.PENANAt4JnqJO7vm
Because he knew—149Please respect copyright.PENANAhcXmWdzS7Z
the silence in that moment was already a kind of wordless promise.149Please respect copyright.PENANAvPhXrHqF7z
149Please respect copyright.PENANA1BdBuiJj2N
He lifted a hand and held the cross in his pocket.149Please respect copyright.PENANAxdzFAd6UEQ
His fingertips trembled slightly.149Please respect copyright.PENANAbSTUKTXsuh
It wasn't just cold metal—149Please respect copyright.PENANA1mba39xBg5
it was a key to every possibility.149Please respect copyright.PENANAZvDIuSBmRg
A key to memory,149Please respect copyright.PENANA6JrYQKrkiF
and to the fate he could no longer avoid.149Please respect copyright.PENANAYFbRKR9PlS
149Please respect copyright.PENANAWVI26ssitn
The door was opening.149Please respect copyright.PENANA636IZBzclR
149Please respect copyright.PENANAEM2rKmcb8L
149Please respect copyright.PENANABuvVfqdiNa
---149Please respect copyright.PENANAXDU3og6Cda
149Please respect copyright.PENANAprzE2Ba53l
When he left the LUOYEH base,149Please respect copyright.PENANAMYgx9oZIqS
the sky outside hung between two extremes—149Please respect copyright.PENANAdpTT9DrXah
not day,149Please respect copyright.PENANAI7bQMcvnur
not night.149Please respect copyright.PENANAXdpQ8VP1uC
A soft light drifted through the air,149Please respect copyright.PENANAh9aI8GsjOr
carrying whispers left unfinished.149Please respect copyright.PENANAUBI2YBYGOT
149Please respect copyright.PENANAZvaHc4yNwL
As he entered the alley,149Please respect copyright.PENANAEp75wkTgCh
his phone screen lit up on its own.149Please respect copyright.PENANA8mOlZNoscC
The time flickered for a second, then displayed:149Please respect copyright.PENANAGEkGep2Ye5
149Please respect copyright.PENANAuqJ2u2vy3c
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) — 18:40149Please respect copyright.PENANArV8K5DzqwS
149Please respect copyright.PENANADdmGsfd7QQ
He froze.149Please respect copyright.PENANABR99wChddY
149Please respect copyright.PENANAPbEEkKDDr6
That was impossible.149Please respect copyright.PENANAPl5HbNijXf
149Please respect copyright.PENANAOVTzutBD1g
When he entered the base, it was 3:47 PM.149Please respect copyright.PENANAy1mYerapna
The conversation hadn't lasted more than a few minutes.149Please respect copyright.PENANAmOuNdG4nFQ
There should've been no gap of nearly three hours.149Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbaslBJdR
149Please respect copyright.PENANAJXlukTxRUH
Even stranger—149Please respect copyright.PENANAB7L4jXrIlZ
he couldn't recall anything from the moment he left the inner room until now.149Please respect copyright.PENANA7PpL5WdPHw
As if someone had sliced out an entire stretch of memory—149Please respect copyright.PENANAgc1oyOEjqL
cleanly, surgically, without even ash remaining.149Please respect copyright.PENANA0hrUvJ9BMx
149Please respect copyright.PENANAX8gGRlMIUa
"How long have I walked again?"149Please respect copyright.PENANA4QfCHHbdzl
he asked himself, voice so low not even the wind bothered to reply.149Please respect copyright.PENANAbnkSAJ7HMe
149Please respect copyright.PENANAcvPs5Of94I
He opened his notes app,149Please respect copyright.PENANA0v01OINJvX
intending to record what Bai Zi-Ming had said—149Please respect copyright.PENANAzdIkB4pPu0
only to find a line he never remembered writing:149Please respect copyright.PENANA6VXK3NLIrZ
149Please respect copyright.PENANAIjB0vUERot
[Tuesday – fracture : 2/25, 03:00 tentative]149Please respect copyright.PENANAF5vVJvykDO
[Reverse Axis remains unstable.]149Please respect copyright.PENANAuG2qTTFZcE
[Do not return.]149Please respect copyright.PENANAFpq1bLE2ta
149Please respect copyright.PENANAy94rh8wRku
He hadn't written that.149Please respect copyright.PENANASh2jYNipNL
But it was in his voice—149Please respect copyright.PENANA3lV4LiGBZP
his format, his rhythm, his syntax.149Please respect copyright.PENANATXLIbF6bI2
Exactly like something he'd write to his future self.149Please respect copyright.PENANAnXDNO2fkJs
149Please respect copyright.PENANAH8V7RP8HJK
He tried deleting it—149Please respect copyright.PENANAawoGruh4rJ
but nothing happened.149Please respect copyright.PENANAGDWkps6p1k
His finger brushed the screen,149Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Hd1n1S1c
and the entire device seemed to chill.149Please respect copyright.PENANAvI1icUVc3G
Tiny static flickers danced across it—149Please respect copyright.PENANAxOH1eYc90T
like interference.149Please respect copyright.PENANAWgLEam0aTF
149Please respect copyright.PENANAAugrlHSOhB
Then he knew—149Please respect copyright.PENANADAoWq9UhcV
this wasn't a warning.149Please respect copyright.PENANAZEoW44mExr
This was a trace of timeline interference.149Please respect copyright.PENANA1XTDpHDzdP
149Please respect copyright.PENANAXNxrWTlteK
He looked up quickly, scanning the distance.149Please respect copyright.PENANAquOqGzYRaz
149Please respect copyright.PENANAqa3SORLpfX
At a far corner,149Please respect copyright.PENANAqDhHh77fXY
a figure flashed past—149Please respect copyright.PENANALixAoHWPxR
so like the reflection he'd once seen in a mirror.149Please respect copyright.PENANAtUvV3ET4U5
But the stride was different, the posture foreign,149Please respect copyright.PENANAQY7VoNDeK6
the eyes not his.149Please respect copyright.PENANAvfy4sZjSVH
149Please respect copyright.PENANAifOS5u08Qf
Yet—149Please respect copyright.PENANAEy665kWTbC
not entirely not his.149Please respect copyright.PENANAq09huHzuPD
149Please respect copyright.PENANAT9HJrEcgOs
He turned sharply,149Please respect copyright.PENANAzMj0L4rCmf
ready to chase—149Please respect copyright.PENANAJfl3atHiri
but stopped.149Please respect copyright.PENANAU7BWIN5bCb
149Please respect copyright.PENANA6d1XNLiQj4
Because he understood:149Please respect copyright.PENANAI0O8pyuNtr
if he approached,149Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3O8vVr1DA
he could never come back.149Please respect copyright.PENANA4nZeZTeZxa
149Please respect copyright.PENANAdRqRbH2wB2
He whispered,149Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ZitYYm9e
"28:01… is it beginning?"149Please respect copyright.PENANAFtkPF7eJJK
149Please respect copyright.PENANAejxbnfgeh9
He drew the cross from his pocket,149Please respect copyright.PENANANoPbnjTh5s
held it in his palm—149Please respect copyright.PENANAJtgCjmWN1Q
as if testing whether it would respond again.149Please respect copyright.PENANAq94BYeEbQE
149Please respect copyright.PENANAe19IRt8P9l
Cold.149Please respect copyright.PENANAtLoJpnm9mM
Silent.149Please respect copyright.PENANA2N8nRiaQ2R
149Please respect copyright.PENANAYQJag9PUpy
But as his gaze settled on the point where the bars intersected,149Please respect copyright.PENANAlwBfzKUqkj
he saw it—149Please respect copyright.PENANACw5oqCXApC
a fine fracture running along the surface,149Please respect copyright.PENANA1zhhYSXN1f
and at a specific angle,149Please respect copyright.PENANAJGarxRSofk
a hidden reflection emerged:149Please respect copyright.PENANAfUrk25fDB3
149Please respect copyright.PENANAp3GSFbkLKA
X-Ω Layer // Phase 1 Initiated149Please respect copyright.PENANAFTVzsBzkBJ
First Reversal Expected: 火曜日 28:01149Please respect copyright.PENANAcQAmEO3IEz
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9NBCd0YS0C
Not "Tuesday".149Please respect copyright.PENANANKuNPBLgnh
火曜日.149Please respect copyright.PENANAs61pjnj11F
He'd never seen that word in his phone or system—149Please respect copyright.PENANA74esDF7OUP
an ambiguous name,149Please respect copyright.PENANA9VyfWZzVJl
a term that only surfaced149Please respect copyright.PENANASZxkS6Pm1C
when events had crossed into irreversibility.149Please respect copyright.PENANAAWk0VVpbQg
149Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y8bljfr5O
"He really did stay behind," he murmured.149Please respect copyright.PENANAgdA5vwH0ag
149Please respect copyright.PENANA8ruwdE6PqO
"But now…149Please respect copyright.PENANAgIino8KCTW
can I still leave?"149Please respect copyright.PENANA5HPC0BwAuk
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9IdlAAAwaJ
No one answered—except the wind.149Please respect copyright.PENANAagM7Tl835q
149Please respect copyright.PENANA3sEnC0ATn8
The wind had never truly stopped.149Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ8k6uH4XZ
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9l8AugSTAD
And now,149Please respect copyright.PENANAwHdjKgRDb5
it was no longer just the movement of air.149Please respect copyright.PENANAXfmaqNGdqh
149Please respect copyright.PENANADhp26sOc4N
It was the echo of memory—149Please respect copyright.PENANAxKeCnEgxT6
and of fate.
