Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZefoilgAhp
05:03.He wasn't sure if he had slept.When his eyes opened, dawn had begun to bleed across the windows.The dormitory was silent.His notebook lay open on the desk.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyIMgGeMhl
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImGYWKPW1z
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV5SVI5pli
He had no memory of writing it.He tried to erase the words, but his hands trembled.Nails cracked. Knuckles raw.Signs that he had repeated some unknown action through the night.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0NNLVOmm
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1uWwlslii
08:12.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdOFp6yiNb
He walked into the precinct—calm on the surface, normal in pace.But his eyes wandered, unable to meet another gaze for more than three seconds.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOth1qDNT8m
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnjl0ttygw
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzm8MwhOpu
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mz3HZRknA
"Who changed it?!"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAve0mRts2n
No one knew what he meant.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTiTwSUtJq
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPtiXYjJKG
10:37.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRy5jaIN5A
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTTrUlIJyR
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EbPSgqDAQ
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWlfkvKsS5
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB30UWgsw2
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKa9LNm1JG
"What did you call me?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xpkqe7hKF
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTO8gORC1D
"Say it again. Say my name again."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZdcJBrOpC
Lin lowered his voice:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid5CgD3Iqn
"…Yu Yong'an."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyeNQc49Ki
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCW00TEUgj
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYEKIACRK
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqWoupfXfW
12:20.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh1aKBQnb3
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBdpyY5VW
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJerEJX0Ept
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ppPoIcr38
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjTOVAURH8
15:01.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV5kqKA2VT
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWwfzNfrR2
He shouted:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerb3nBIQFp
"This is fake!You play this briefing every week—every time the same!I've heard it four times already—always on the same day!"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZSmrzbCi
The room fell silent.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo3Fx8oM5f
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLjByTBaC
"You don't see him anymore, do you…?The one who speaks like me, dresses like me—but isn't me.Don't you think he's strange…?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6YkC6cl2M
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmL5Xe2x1r
17:45.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ez2NVJ2CH
They convinced him to return to the dorm.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV8wcFMwbK
As he left, he muttered:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCImKso4A9j
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyYfCpzsvN
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEDHwieZOk
He whispered to himself:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdMWoQeDk8
"I existed.I really existed.I'm not fake.I remember Mazu's return route…I remember the way she looked at me the first time…"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tDL4tcHoj
He never said who she was.No one knew.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbm81s1lhN
But this room—was no longer his.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLgl1cMxlY
It had become a threshold between two worlds.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqevrlRtiE

Zhang Huan-an / A Memory That Didn't Wait for Him
Just before sleep could claim him,a scene flickered—not like a dream, but like a file opened without request.
A narrow room.White curtains.A girl sitting by the window, one knee drawn up.
She wasn't looking at him.But her voice reached him anyway—a soft, aching tone, like someone trying to remember the right way to say goodbye.
"You used to stand right there.You used to say: 'Even if I forget everything else—I'll remember your name.'"
Her hair fell across her cheek.She wiped a finger across the glass, tracing a symbol—Not a cross. Something older. More fractured.
"But now you forget me, and remember the cross instead."
He stepped forward.The floor cracked under his weight—like reality couldn't hold both of them.
She looked up. Her eyes shimmered, not with tears, but with time.
"If you forget me one more time…I'll start remembering you instead."
The room collapsed into silence.
Zhang blinked—and found himself back in his dorm.But the weight on his chest remained—like he had just said goodbye to someone who still hadn't left.

You're not truly mad.They only made you believe madness belonged to you.That's when you started thinking you were the problem.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4pXnrnqBs
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxbGQc9TAw
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V8rM8HFVw
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbucK418XU6

Tuesday, July 2nd31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1tsiNKiL
That morning, he wore his uniform—but no belt.His notebook slid off his shoulder and landed on the floor.As he bent to pick it up, he noticed a note taped under his desk:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCf9CetJPi
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGx8pDcr8s
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4eSYnMt6
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOpWxzdynI
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVxh32GKjv
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvEy3mfjco
Friday, July 5th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzXojuiMgu
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMklLz54H7
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluVqw4qLO7
He spoke in fractures:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOer4kMFV
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvJP9i2q6
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLg1aoVrnA
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1xjwc3Q6O
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0FudpEPO7
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdb7sdemR
No date. No markings.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvg8QsWimC
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJrc6tAerd
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxPCVPWhp5
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0gs7HCst0
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yqsa0NNbU
Tuesday, July 16th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVIBuiyzS7
He drew a map of a non-existent route—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaD0pntlIC
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQzSept9JY
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQusFuLG8Ur
They visited the location that afternoon.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdnckxLyNi
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7fpZ0PPg
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRxRjnRiz3

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOtdPe8tyL
Friday, July 19th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3exyDDkz7t
He no longer tried to explain himself.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bWAhFypBB
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFp1fptDpb
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ECeGn2HL
He had once tried to resist.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxBwzLfuA
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbY8TKxYa
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW1gBvOYNr
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXy15CBUjA
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFO3UCIWpa
Tuesday, August 6th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYTlr3HjI9
He hadn't spoken in a week.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nT8DvTpEf
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbbbcSK306
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz3v71ggL7
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rgy5UjV03
That morning, he found a note:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D44CbqjiD
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SzKpyXr30
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhscwx9RLeW
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZpAvsjW9M
"She won't appear tomorrow."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONZ9CZ17uu
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j04TXZuax
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8NNAD22f
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVemqzqvR
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4qeVNc8Q1
Friday, August 9th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddL0RFABEV
He no longer walked—he glided.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt9N1SH426
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17GJlnizct
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uFKsaNso2
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eo8KGCpRo
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDSRiCSaU
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85NPulcPIL
Chief Lin blinked:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD35DNq3Yq5
"When have we ever come here together…?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFeSrJpozL
Zhang didn't turn around.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iYgF61cSL
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7b8iVyVgC
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOLNVU3E9
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjzyLLrEtq
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur38831lXx
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtu4EocRzJ
He whispered:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01VQMSH2ke
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4k1jg9zdw
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolmnrau8tr
Tuesday, August 20th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzcyMfFst
Rumors stirred at the precinct:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrepNUAY7S
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8uzzoHFt4
That he filed visits to the already-dead.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE9XPHuUWz
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOantvAhwY
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqvrmhG0ng
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Y0MNZzwp
He left a note on his schedule:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96WeOp0acx
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKGN5wywHQ
Friday, August 23rd31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF7d8smlzY
His voice began to change.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDlH7AujOC
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhoF9qfZy0
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7WRxayHg9
"…Who just spoke that line?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbebFUAkDq
Zhang replied:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4sQOKtvzf
"I didn't say anything."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6j3x8Ma5x
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjF8JMMlGD
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNsmGDBtL3
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q28yZRIan
He wrote that in his journal.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pu3Fsq8wF
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ922ZRbbJaJ
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7QQqP3kP
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMW17OWVMD
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EKy7ERQ7e

Tuesday, September 3rd31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyBEOVVXkM
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtFmtYfrdv
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pc7o6Q8M5
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GoTI4oVJa
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yPWVMiFnf
All he said was:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk6DK9inVE
"I need silence."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4jnRJaIk
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNFnAFw0iB
Friday, September 6th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm1K0XapIV
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPX7wwHiKd
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXJb3uZLR0
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlIXh0ZLCT
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmjf80GLDl
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIXxbOixzZ
It was as if the system itself had written it.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RgFx5YxL
Chief Lin murmured later:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ymzl6pi2d
"He's not here…but he's still here."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wd4JKsG95
Tuesday, September 17th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKxxpQGH1
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aE4b7AQc5
• At dawn: the noodle shop near Qiyang Road—always an empty seat• At dusk: beneath the streetlamp beside the precinct—cameras always blinked once• At night: the riverbank bench under the Di'an bridge— incident log showed: "Shadow figure appeared in a restricted zone"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpyRQQS4j
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWYpUxSxUS
Witnesses said:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1wHWhfi9f
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitEwk7KP30
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer0oDUEg6f
Friday, September 20th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Z1cWEpfM
Day 27 of leave.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Pa9o7BoW
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWL6u4D9u8
He dropped cups without meaning to.His hand missed the page when he tried to write.His reactions lagged—but his words were still perfectly accurate.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKof1jJGa0Q
He wrote:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU8oZKxhPJ
"I can feel my body.But it doesn't feel like I'm moving it.""It's like someone borrowed me, and left fingerprints behind."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQolIRZ0dLu
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj5j9816ey
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56zzMnGCo
"This isn't leave. This is exile."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTsm9Lp4s
Tuesday, October 1st31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbtdh5X7sD
There was no record of him anywhere.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuEWGLN1dg
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu4jNXlqTn
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUzbtySArC
Even his phone signal stalled at:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ54KCRp5T
September 30th, 23:5931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVdD9UcykC
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9enhWmENR
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvQVv9nX98
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4VDX9VcRm
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqe1NZBAEp
October 1st, 202531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rafpKrFb6
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaFvlm1wtO
Friday, October 4th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1msoFnKLx
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwSmC34j3r
Someone asked:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviXN9Iocca
"Where have you been?"31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2KgMXXeCv
He replied:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUofa2HNL
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExuronB4y
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOc9H8EZJ9
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXjG9Oqxly
He was beginning to feel it:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5cTVqzd67
His right to language was being revoked.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG8j8Ntxkk
That night, a note was found on his desk:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vE7YJiFm
[2024/10/04]31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmf6RsWKn1
High overlap in memory today.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloig8oTnnX
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz0pg6HxmR
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9agxlyTulq
Both memories complete. No gaps.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANoR3ElxB
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1scwmIqRPe
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81iUeiu3ag
Tuesday, October 15th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQROyFOMe1k
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy0A8iyIAl
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo64s4dzKhI
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiRWfuXQyN
When approached, he smiled and replied:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQKYB3DxRd
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV0d5selVN
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOegbzASqLw
—31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0459ekS3uJ
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI1M1EHaOe

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3XG8VOFC
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sT7YRPsBk
Friday, October 18th31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTa94Lr8AY
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4A2d939FQ
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSRhvQZ2fz
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDAtSIYgol
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60iktSfuu4
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
