Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU1Xy5APwG
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3OD4PhYDD
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgytqs5olRa
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzaUKuOdD
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMem9mUSRHV
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHu0TXr2aD
08:12.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbjBMaz66i
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98rcGwARd
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xHb3WJGd
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmsJzZwkr8
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc54gNcZ3h
"Who changed it?!"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSLm0bXJb
No one knew what he meant.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGx9GAJemN
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ov4BnvsA
10:37.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy0rmjoNnL
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUyqbvTOZd
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh459SMR1r
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzdjMa8U9q
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k901WKS46
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfh6RZL98W
"What did you call me?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCSAHgf0g
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIRaUdLqNC
"Say it again. Say my name again."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhuVb5MSHG
Lin lowered his voice:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQAWg0G8f
"…Yu Yong'an."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxkXuHxvN
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wn8ZPVgLM
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8khryu50a2
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYCBgnwEVo
12:20.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhQw7h5JbY
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjZNOWMO1N
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS83UL9U6Wh
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOhKoqp8Zk
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EFr5E8mB
15:01.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB2bMaa2sF
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozPWYqSkpa
He shouted:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1UrssM155
"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!"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnca3HDvF
The room fell silent.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztG00QPeKH
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVowkBRpfor
"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…?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMkOLEhWIf
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrz9GDuz60
17:45.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIjiw9Vo2j
They convinced him to return to the dorm.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4CmJj5uw
As he left, he muttered:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpRK1bchtv
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxKUHAc4KM
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxE9srjaj
He whispered to himself:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xG0jiFtL8
"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…"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vFwwpNFRH
He never said who she was.No one knew.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOEGJCwunf
But this room—was no longer his.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqXAghxgqn
It had become a threshold between two worlds.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AOfVp3jo

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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6N1pp11YJ
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtVNJHseQf
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uliJJ0F7c
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtirSypq1EG

Tuesday, July 2nd32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDJusupSIU
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:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV43Uej7xZc
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQpIZCdAm
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjEHF5kAaG
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2mCHXIbTC
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYecYSZKiRY
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNXQ6rrFM
Friday, July 5th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeP7XrhWu
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m950mz61Y
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD9jfBLjVP
He spoke in fractures:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWP8OFf3DT
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9LVWznLn8
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XEksTo7Hc
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1WGAToYw
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXvp5GWtu
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyMueaZ5rd
No date. No markings.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgqdYLaPAk
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNRGDWBeNS
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdSpq3wDR
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzKdnhEwpj
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDcHczHq3a
Tuesday, July 16th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXdZyegurT
He drew a map of a non-existent route—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG17VnEYQb
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1uyQopWX
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQyrdSYhs
They visited the location that afternoon.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPMPWenY5d
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRckySD7CR
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtidoZ1uFV

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSOTBAWDp5
Friday, July 19th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJea7gfn6
He no longer tried to explain himself.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRf1gUjfYF
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWGdlz6sLE
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjTpaOoij
He had once tried to resist.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KVdlxigSt
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacouWobj35
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UGnIzhtwG
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEWLr19J8N
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMim8XnaGzC
Tuesday, August 6th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFXOit3yb
He hadn't spoken in a week.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji0DuQVdXZ
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe28K9b4lI5
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yevi0GMwX
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy94T65Qcdh
That morning, he found a note:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHkYNC9PRE
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFw3wOCSQD
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojm8gW2ts
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8vdAYftb4
"She won't appear tomorrow."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF8hYllPlW
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2oud9rpW0
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKFJQoPQdO
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGWc4GgeNy
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfscwaE1nM
Friday, August 9th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XKtlVyCeA
He no longer walked—he glided.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK1bAPquQN
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7YI8Bvqpv
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlEBPX3uZD
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyYmrO8yX
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOQztGTFnZ
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMXc1Y80Ml
Chief Lin blinked:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra9ddNdh5K
"When have we ever come here together…?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQkW6Btex
Zhang didn't turn around.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBOdeXa5A0
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2cQ5HL71I
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOMB88Scv1
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mYsX1CoLl
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBViivreCbI
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLW6dKmop8
He whispered:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAkRV0SOVd
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkCvFXppN1
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFO62Qnpc
Tuesday, August 20th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZBoX0g2Ye
Rumors stirred at the precinct:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ1ZYmFL4F
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqceAa36Kve
That he filed visits to the already-dead.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcVfLhZds5
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dE2noBxMs
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0aL9D5Jv
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuAXibFFKD
He left a note on his schedule:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5TrtaQEN7
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgyxSabQC
Friday, August 23rd32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ890slJlns7
His voice began to change.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh88WuDRFi
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR04lqT5yID
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORpjmLn12H
"…Who just spoke that line?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4DSHj5uM7
Zhang replied:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0OaJML5AL
"I didn't say anything."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFphbEwjos
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQevcK8mFGN
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvWsA3mrOa
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoXKg5Lbas
He wrote that in his journal.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ha3QI8hca
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz6X1ez0DC
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgISU5oA4m
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiym2aUNSUf
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjomo6RcqWK

Tuesday, September 3rd32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh3BSaFOJ6
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg317OGR4K
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Yb2rTXIu
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQrrUhcCBh
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA1FqSL2n0
All he said was:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIPkO5Wcdg
"I need silence."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJZlI1bFB
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR3dCtxRZa
Friday, September 6th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05G8IVFg9d
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvGJRgaGjn
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblbrTebVS
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXHoegenBE
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxeVXxVpVL
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqv2rwiRmP
It was as if the system itself had written it.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0VFN8IT1s
Chief Lin murmured later:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6aMzSGunp
"He's not here…but he's still here."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSLz9tztn
Tuesday, September 17th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkRRkVx6xf
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNtyqlrSZ
• 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"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSYP8fm2NR
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7UHZPJ0c
Witnesses said:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkFshYojfS
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ3sAJeaiR
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm18isES2lt
Friday, September 20th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBnGsAPAEa
Day 27 of leave.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTI28LReoG
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF4ohdKIXA
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.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxMw1JsHGx
He wrote:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ehfpUiFH
"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."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaMwahVwas
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjVQzbvLKR
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFODi1Zi9Zd
"This isn't leave. This is exile."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnlAkwC1WB
Tuesday, October 1st32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkkkqNY1Q0
There was no record of him anywhere.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsexsC7CiB
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qduJhj1Zc
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhz4Hnq4Xn
Even his phone signal stalled at:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y5OUNDxmg
September 30th, 23:5932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztAyuJ2VC3
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrquvlJ5vYb
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJr3hkUERK
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYl4bJ7it5
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcUaEeWKUx
October 1st, 202532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQf8npC6q0
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0UunKiru
Friday, October 4th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP7iSrhXTI
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe9NRKbeHl
Someone asked:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtASThuKOv
"Where have you been?"32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMaRuWMkCI
He replied:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqhoUXMl13
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaezpw8nCq
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra5ZHTeuGN
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OlaNQZjq
He was beginning to feel it:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmTIFkFuVx
His right to language was being revoked.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk9CdLNQZN
That night, a note was found on his desk:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hdE5C67MD
[2024/10/04]32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFNZMBnDiU
High overlap in memory today.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6C7qHklx8
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eet2xKYJi
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22aBzOsFl
Both memories complete. No gaps.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJOaq2L2oU
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHgJ4ft9P
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPMgheseE
Tuesday, October 15th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFhA9tv9ol
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UZYi07QQM
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiNmL5oAyq
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZW3gI15gN
When approached, he smiled and replied:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW6fZHw6QX
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGG9we20Od
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHjiGm8hYT
—32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3shwN1Bp9
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbuMTi0Cse
[Y.A.]32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzULsZBoGy
Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbf7oufnMM
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprL6k54zmX
Friday, October 18th32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbKN0ABoW
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV8fqDnr35
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyCF7uWcHg
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11JZRxNl5c
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L8z02akL6
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
