Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLufbbB9tyv
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeIfcna3jh
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0QderTWXU
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUWLjtR9UD
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjQGTUr7de

08:12.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy133Avin3
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6nNkxD49
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQix6CP9epD
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftnUQSzpn
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ297dmuujXQ
"Who changed it?!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzNVwMZkt8
No one knew what he meant.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgyFGQxPZ5
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TlaztFtGY
10:37.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdPSjg4PrV
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88b2Uz7LSF
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7twx60oTeH
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgee0OJ0h
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLeaZ2F5x5
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBVAjrHXdD
"What did you call me?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9esHgnQis
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUrX66PkBo
"Say it again. Say my name again."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TtIxYLPre
Lin lowered his voice:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxtVIxqc0G
"…Yu Yong'an."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm7JhNSiWu
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhd5TquHP1
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxeTsF6xC3
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQdUw8sDYt
12:20.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKo347OWpF
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL92yRnJX5
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8zuxVQKh
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SbFCuAdMp
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbkFQe140M
15:01.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuH32XwUA
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVVteC3Mqz
He shouted:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbPi0A4px
"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!"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE4TAmzxaQ
The room fell silent.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwA3YiasBk
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfUYXNpOYv
"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…?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZMYNGSAO
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmMM9jjDx
17:45.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYKlYdJRxV
They convinced him to return to the dorm.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8yOEUiyZn
As he left, he muttered:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E04dY7N4m
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD6AyWzjlt
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tgvGGXlx
He whispered to himself:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNaLKWx6sz
"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…"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCedxQ6BLm
He never said who she was.No one knew.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX7SKcVNXp
But this room—was no longer his.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9i0b1jVcb
It had become a threshold between two worlds.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5kloWVhA4

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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQR4pQ8hka
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m3I9AAdb9
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgAC0RoGBf
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9pzPvqcmV

Tuesday, July 2nd148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLOXiMqWNh
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:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdVIg2j58
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5dwk9OHdt
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7wY9ZPFDS
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNih2sjLuaE
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6p2P2vLru
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0SUEw2ln
Friday, July 5th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU20tm9KLG7
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIHS9HDe3E
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bY5G3locQ
He spoke in fractures:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYAkbIqBS
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8scf727uA
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x8p9rUheu
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiqSQtTa6m
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf7us2c3ZA
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUMRUSXlsS
No date. No markings.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMddAxtHS0
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qk6Ylf1sU
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK4uYsHyCX
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZGG1VYghT
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebaW2kblB1
Tuesday, July 16th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4SqYFYm58
He drew a map of a non-existent route—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcoy9n0L7a
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqXToB6JXk
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMSxJjIS1r
They visited the location that afternoon.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk0hnUqnlI
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65l5wME2KA
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuezOpHXJoD
Time: 2024/07/16 14:07Content: "Someone in a police uniform entered my memory."Filed by: (no name)Audio: (no sound)Note: "Transferred to: Y.A."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWMro9fxDu
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1houbYZXR4
Friday, July 19th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIs6JCP2J0
He no longer tried to explain himself.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nyN40qWex
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CZAoNR1CD
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWMrNiQDzf
He had once tried to resist.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MUkG8YBu
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq8zLjUaW7
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYSf5KEeph
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn47lVI06Z
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAc9AxPrvI
Tuesday, August 6th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhhcXQjEQ
He hadn't spoken in a week.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCreIqjOi0D
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI8kBQwKIk
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkmvk5XUwN
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW60Twbdix
That morning, he found a note:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOYtWn8pLt
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEcLExj3S
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8CqYoBndA
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTHEjVD4v
"She won't appear tomorrow."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO8YB5TjSN
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjmMQuJLuL
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNv31YmF1C
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMUFWo0TYL
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM0G82MWlJ
Friday, August 9th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NyINLsWPi
He no longer walked—he glided.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFp7Ugyfs3
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAxvfwD9Xk
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cPb0dYxOB
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zoYXVYkq
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdJHoJmVtC
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFi3OIXQOO
Chief Lin blinked:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYFSH3zzhW
"When have we ever come here together…?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnSiwkbaMe
Zhang didn't turn around.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuokhwDUjQC
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOGcZuLuqL
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ608sOjArJb
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVe2yLPxj
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYmAV0bNj
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC15nS9mpNN
He whispered:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSo3yC554S
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvBsres7Ne
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdSAgFj04
Tuesday, August 20th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OjcNGgxob
Rumors stirred at the precinct:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04c0UtOpn
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl04MvZv0l
That he filed visits to the already-dead.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtBOBgpSO6
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Cr3BqKpG
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19rOrTIP8
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpigoLLmmd
He left a note on his schedule:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZGdFvMOLy
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRb2nFzcP1
Friday, August 23rd148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2M6WtU9pq
His voice began to change.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkBGBNX7Tw
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8fUxB34ox
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatidJwe6Bo
"…Who just spoke that line?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3VAzwxIOS
Zhang replied:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB3LWA3Yoe
"I didn't say anything."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdy8hT2o0Y
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gajdNIg4W
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFg6NKOKc
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqPnNLtMUr
He wrote that in his journal.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmULHqEVbLP
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IAdz7GPK7
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPghDugzTJy
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Uarp3d94
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWFk8ZqkG

Tuesday, September 3rd148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUkm82H1ll
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaD2eTBQLo
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3rQ1UkLnA
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8IwGvzQRL
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dnRCnLP9
All he said was:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFN78lBzIH
"I need silence."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFrvDAJdS
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaq4oCeHTT
Friday, September 6th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViwCfB9LKp
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC09KNrurpY
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdneUqEOsm6
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQg2T2bZgT
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNiiC6tfRc
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vGaP9ByP
It was as if the system itself had written it.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyGswVCWEe
Chief Lin murmured later:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH8Vk1YiVo
"He's not here…but he's still here."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf2IYpiJZK
Tuesday, September 17th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsihJ8sCjg
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5i63XhRst
• 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"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T11KZfGQk
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LnfsUUSj
Witnesses said:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWW3SplbvH
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv9YCDb0ny
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROjwle9SX
Friday, September 20th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwA9SysKgb
Day 27 of leave.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMukgH45mPA
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseT4WyHwR4
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYy7szjNSl
He wrote:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgFF8WEF8P
"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."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuVWGFNxTZ
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaHsEDVODm
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KCyYHMTLB
"This isn't leave. This is exile."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsalCdNY0wf
Tuesday, October 1st148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9arRGyS6U
There was no record of him anywhere.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn76JFWQsf
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4SYeRFM8y
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCK2iL81CO
Even his phone signal stalled at:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9RW00ibk
September 30th, 23:59148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbQhc20pL8
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMWCsOlyg
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94KgK8V75p
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfJeJbxYA8
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPePEDcLLmI
October 1st, 2025148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3IS4jv8Sd
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7uDmzvFny
Friday, October 4th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMkJFBb1q
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhoJuzSCBM
Someone asked:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcDNbb0M71
"Where have you been?"148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM7YqZy7fU
He replied:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAH0SzZisq
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15NlT8lFm
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOneQ2qEPd
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCeTAfEtB
He was beginning to feel it:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT4eh9rrx2
His right to language was being revoked.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PfUXOVmL
That night, a note was found on his desk:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNkHVjL7ud

Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsmKrm8J0X

Both memories complete. No gaps.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV5QTRxucH
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75LGIOH9o
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqgrirbcmD
Tuesday, October 15th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhjf9IlEtT
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXb18Mo7GK
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQOyEZBUpD
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzJ1VyaHWj
When approached, he smiled and replied:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLwlavU16
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhaRYq3CUS
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUqOCGY0t
—148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOer6uwpxRc
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQzz6uFnBj

Friday, October 18th148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGaMoNoXc1
