Chapter 6

Penulis: Moon Season
Elan’s question truly stopped me in my tracks.

Yet there he was, standing right in front of me, alive and breathing.

He could bleed. He had body heat. He had everything a human should have. The only thing wrong with him was his memory.

I took a deep breath. "If you’re a working adult, you’d definitely keep notes or reminders. As long as you’re human, it’s impossible not to leave traces of your life."

Elan and I turned his apartment upside down. Only then did we find a sticky note tucked unde

  • Framed Every Lifetime   Chapter 8

    My entire body stiffened. A chill rose from the soles of my feet and spread through my limbs.I stared at him fiercely. "How do you know about my rebirth?"He knew about my countless loops. He knew the pain of being trapped in them. So who was he, really?Calder kept smiling as he slowly began to tell a story.Time rewound to a rainy night two years ago. Fresh out of university and newly entering the workforce, Lyra won an award at her very first company annual gala.Unfortunately, that same night, the city subway system was shut down for maintenance. The only way to get to the gala was by car.To make sure Lyra would not be late, her boyfriend insisted on driving her there.That was when the accident happened. The car skidded on the road and crashed into a guardrail.Both of them were trapped inside the vehicle.Her boyfriend insisted that the rescue team save Lyra first, because her leg was pinned. Between 9:00 and 9:05, Lyra was pulled out.When the rescue team turned back

    Calder stood there holding the gifts from the annual gala, looking at us in confusion."Why didn't you let me know you weren't coming to the gala?"Calder had always been the type to worry excessively, someone who loved gossiping about employees’ private lives.There were only fifteen minutes left until those five minutes arrived. I had no patience to deal with him. I was about to brush him off with a few perfunctory words and send him away.Elan’s expression suddenly changed. He grabbed a chair and slammed it into Calder, knocking him unconscious.Watching a grown man collapse slowly onto the floor, I froze in shock. "What are you doing?"Elan looked at me helplessly. "Did you forget? We asked for leave and left the gala together."I was stunned for a moment. "Right… and the address I filled in the company records is my hometown. How would he know the address of the apartment I live in now, and why show up at this exact moment?"Memories from countless loops flooded my mind, a

As long as you’re human, it’s impossible not to leave traces of your life."Elan and I turned his apartment upside down. Only then did we find a sticky note tucked under his bed.On it was written: "On the day of the annual gala, from 9:00 to 9:05 p.m., I will die."Elan’s face drained of color inch by inch. "So I knew I’d be in danger… then why don’t I remember any of it?"I grabbed both his hands. "Why don’t we see a psychologist? Maybe hypnosis could help you remember."However, Elan seemed uneasy. "Don’t you think you’re a little strange, too? An ordinary person would’ve broken down long ago after being killed so many times. But you… You're frightening

    Elan and I asked for leave and left the annual gala, heading to his place.As we walked away, coworkers whispered among themselves, watching our backs.Calder even leaned out, studying us with open surprise. "I've never noticed these two having any connection before. How did they end up going home together?"Elan’s apartment was some distance from the company. By the time we arrived, it was already seven o’clock.Elan turned on the lights and explained, "Back at the station, I suddenly lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already at home."I changed into slippers and asked softly, "Do you mind if I look around your place?"Elan nodded. "Of course."His apartment looked completely ordinary. White walls. Marble floors. There was nothing strange at all.Elan’s life was as monotonous and dull as he was. He did not seem to have any hobbies.I asked him, "What do you usually do at home?""When I have nothing to do, I scroll through short videos or watch shows."Elan sat on th

  • Framed Every Lifetime   Chapter 4

    In my mind, I had imagined that someone identical to me might burst in.Even if that scene were horrifying, I thought I was mentally prepared.Reality proved otherwise. The preparation was nowhere near enough.Right in front of me, Elan suddenly twisted his neck at an unnatural angle and collapsed limply onto the floor.When I screamed and rushed toward him, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pressed it against his own throat. I realized he was using immense force, trying to make me choke him to death.The difference in strength between a man and a woman was overwhelming. I could not break free."Elan, let go of me! You’ll suffocate!"However, the blood-red gaze in Elan’s eyes told me that this was exactly what he wanted.Outside the iron bars, warning lights and alarms went off at the same time. Police officers rushed in, trying to separate us.Seizing the chaos, Elan dragged me outward."Elan, are you insane?" I shouted, my peripheral vision locked on the clock on the wall. Th

    I spun around abruptly.Through my blurred vision, it was Elan walking toward us with steady steps.My whole body jolted. My eyes filled with disbelief and fear.Elan stopped in front of me, thought for a moment, then said, "She looks really scared. And honestly, I’m a little curious about why she kidnapped me. So… why don’t I go to the station with you?"The police froze for a second. "We don’t recommend that the victim stay with the suspect."Elan didn’t back down. "And didn’t she say I’d be in danger soon? I also want police protection. The station should be the safest place for me."That reason left the officers with no way to refuse.By the time both Elan and I got into the patrol car, I still hadn’t fully processed what had happened.The officers in the car whispered among themselves in amazement. It was their first time seeing a kidnapper more afraid than the victim.I looked at Elan, trembling. "You… you spoke to me on your own?"This had never happened in any of my c
