He didn't answer right away.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgD2bl7XZY
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscggFvH1m0
Because he knew—it wasn't a question one could answer in a single breath.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlEW7ieG40
It was a riddle that required the soul to slowly shed its layers,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BppVN9soY
to be rewoven before it could respond.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BQ4tqx45D
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvYoYWISfp
"Do you think I still have a choice?" he whispered, as if asking himself.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAIfvG6WGF
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2modoEb5Mm
"You were never given a choice,"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RGM12P3zN
Bai Zi-Ming replied, his gaze calm like a still river,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzqQbaGTd
but with currents hidden deep beneath.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SWWm5R1Ig
"What you've always had—was burden."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hc0TAzB2x
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXJWMGtL8N
He tried to speak,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoTh2sOqxV
but his throat was parched,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8qitQebgQ
his voice buried beneath layers of fractured time.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXRawIAHfX
The ungrasped past, the names too dangerous to recall,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lQ64XSq4
and the cross in his pocket—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNZTeul6n3
all pressed against his breath like a weight.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsn8lURv5l
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn3aTH4Ej8
"You want the truth behind the 281 days?"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo5Dc3WTjf
Bai Zi-Ming asked suddenly, his voice nearly a whisper.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULaPcJioxS
"Then understand this:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEbtm1qz3W
your memory was never from a single source."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31j5WYGCCd
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq2at2TRdi
"…Meaning?" He looked up, brow furrowed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaueFIrDb23
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNBaIfKfQR
"You've been… adjusted.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeC611Byji
Or rather, your time has been written, rewritten, and folded again."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuynlYETm7
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tLHK6EsK9
"Each moment you remember—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk8zsyd9tQ
may come from yourself,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiuguJ9VId
another version of you,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8t8ocUuLN
or a future that hasn't yet occurred."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsu1UAKzLH
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolKXNbWUzH
Silence stretched between them,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfEp2e92kw
like the broken timeline unraveling inside his mind.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKegylhL6y
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRa5NdvDiO
He suddenly remembered the photo—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUOJPik1O
the clock frozen at 28:01.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLafe2QPLr
It wasn't the end of time.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXv38bM1sW
It was a new beginning, in another form.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K1ey0EB5a
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpNlSIy6jw
"So who am I now?"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9KwjpOTvu
He asked softly. But this time, there was no tremble in his voice.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3OtM4AH8
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWdDqGQfVC
Bai Zi-Ming didn't answer immediately.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4faqgYGFe
Instead, he stepped closer, and said quietly, with clarity:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNaSakpbOD
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNZu4tbHgB
"You are the one who—across every version—chose to remain."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zPRDPcCgy
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ksJPY8TZm
The moment those words landed,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ691SiVEqRv
something inside him stirred—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFADzvI9IA
not breaking,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAlqwMbZF
but realigning.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hhEHiclTi
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NrBLsWwnT
"When you're ready," Bai Zi-Ming said, turning into the shadows,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVATGOK4D5
"come back to me.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfBVD9UMhV
But remember—don't be late again.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AZxC3dXhy
One more delay, and you will forget who you are."169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsf9I6Xsqz
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77a1zcxQ2c
The lights in the hallway flickered,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxztlowvuc
like a memory signal about to be severed.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULFhW6ceRw
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNYiXWwpfR
He stood still.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylhq24eVTJ
Didn't chase,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbodfat4hR
didn't turn back.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8i5AiOAGq
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR30bVHigi
Because he knew—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKCrI5SBI
the silence in that moment was already a kind of wordless promise.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a4YMXVKuZ
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlzq9pjwBS
He lifted a hand and held the cross in his pocket.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjgufkwLia
His fingertips trembled slightly.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGogWVeSXq
It wasn't just cold metal—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltDW6hsaNy
it was a key to every possibility.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hHQuHoYC7
A key to memory,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4uD6oK3zK
and to the fate he could no longer avoid.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzBlElNPMz
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZdZMF0H4c
The door was opening.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpWGGasRNs
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscfykQYOrl
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOXF05OGN
---169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBI396jUf9
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88QDhZlPP
When he left the LUOYEH base,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh98rq7lQhz
the sky outside hung between two extremes—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVyemkp6uK
not day,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44tqmOT8C5
not night.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wrK5vpjTx
A soft light drifted through the air,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7onnpaZI9Y
carrying whispers left unfinished.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHgbbcQxdf
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqznQxSXLrv
As he entered the alley,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB5j821ffU
his phone screen lit up on its own.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92z0jpfjGk
The time flickered for a second, then displayed:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgSGRuGZ5U
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gV85fUphT
February 23, 2025 (Sunday) — 18:40169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfetvTDwJ4
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr28WvaiCPG
He froze.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmvOYWGC6a
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgp4PcKly
That was impossible.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xVDQARiID
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4neNfdMsr
When he entered the base, it was 3:47 PM.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYUIuhvH0
The conversation hadn't lasted more than a few minutes.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSoypWvmLR
There should've been no gap of nearly three hours.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0FcvynM1P
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaL6UcgkFm
Even stranger—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGglaVNbNw4
he couldn't recall anything from the moment he left the inner room until now.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjG9WpUh5w
As if someone had sliced out an entire stretch of memory—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYIAn0jl6
cleanly, surgically, without even ash remaining.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Qfrj9IBA
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRGXa9elU
"How long have I walked again?"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXVLys3NWi
he asked himself, voice so low not even the wind bothered to reply.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLQWNUIvSC
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Un846Gltq
He opened his notes app,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdfUn1fkDQ
intending to record what Bai Zi-Ming had said—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iPHZs9pKA
only to find a line he never remembered writing:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHFrKO2WU
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ365gvxH1Xr
[Tuesday – fracture : 2/25, 03:00 tentative]169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9bq6dQOiU
[Reverse Axis remains unstable.]169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX97smMqfZ
[Do not return.]169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LmqbHH7m6
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCkpNHh5n1
He hadn't written that.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk30KqbA9A
But it was in his voice—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXc1G1kbFJ
his format, his rhythm, his syntax.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfCMH3ZvLw
Exactly like something he'd write to his future self.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTEkLVvv9E
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7yd6RP7bV
He tried deleting it—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfmWa1W4Ah
but nothing happened.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEcW4Eo7v6
His finger brushed the screen,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi5Ap5wfDK
and the entire device seemed to chill.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qE40lBOeK
Tiny static flickers danced across it—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbc0CH4P2z
like interference.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1q0NIZjpg
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KodLYtE5z
Then he knew—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzuLBFJwrV
this wasn't a warning.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXKrxW8qaE
This was a trace of timeline interference.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvH7wFPYwu
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKArEHwILG5
He looked up quickly, scanning the distance.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugzD1mrqg
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJlwXoMUc
At a far corner,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKdjwGXS62
a figure flashed past—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0h0eM1YNG
so like the reflection he'd once seen in a mirror.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MUvpMNb5A
But the stride was different, the posture foreign,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe20FN6lJR9
the eyes not his.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkATK0Y7pxX
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYqYLgRHOw
Yet—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwv7uO4kbE
not entirely not his.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuewNVO7go
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzelveNPPS
He turned sharply,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNvzpsmnoF
ready to chase—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHWCXNbQXG
but stopped.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3MrCjTvtA
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQ7fU8iEw
Because he understood:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFx3Zan8mM
if he approached,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkcFx77VPw
he could never come back.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CjGR9J0ji
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq597E7GNfS
He whispered,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cjoTphaMi
"28:01… is it beginning?"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHZTUBxtBr
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKROLhUamf
He drew the cross from his pocket,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNImHQ0SVn
held it in his palm—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2kgOPfl1C
as if testing whether it would respond again.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4wkb4eH1o
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFNEonLvT
Cold.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlJaXLBSIB
Silent.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAvEjEHe73
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2WDRYoyVC
But as his gaze settled on the point where the bars intersected,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4XlD0aqqv
he saw it—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVc4UkeXY
a fine fracture running along the surface,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncSi5xeigL
and at a specific angle,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgmQRQXcqY
a hidden reflection emerged:169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteX9xxAkTW
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtD3xDnDXV
X-Ω Layer // Phase 1 Initiated169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypeJuaz9Q9
First Reversal Expected: 火曜日 28:01169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlroIp1Lagc
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXFA9s991w
Not "Tuesday".169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ekxVd9pka
火曜日.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pFtTEuCvl
He'd never seen that word in his phone or system—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmNfe0U2d
an ambiguous name,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0vwEWwnvi
a term that only surfaced169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKJBn4oUJ
when events had crossed into irreversibility.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJa9Ptxoao
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6sUABB7j0
"He really did stay behind," he murmured.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtUdtn0ztb
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGD7eCAMzM
"But now…169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaGVomFVlI
can I still leave?"169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOp0JI27cU
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2bmoVDN3J
No one answered—except the wind.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMBTFaVCyn
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTICOMsBPk
The wind had never truly stopped.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMkn9wCHgG
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnaw3Zp5YX
And now,169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dBf6zCyOY
it was no longer just the movement of air.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdO2xaNIiW
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIpKlaZIQw
It was the echo of memory—169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj9qKf2VcR
and of fate.8964 copyright protection165ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUl3aAT12 維尼
