Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF6QvAzVJp
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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWakwqE3uzZ
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpzAmHUJcE
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqosAtEdcAe
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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cl8CEbXSk
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVztas4u9FI
08:12.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7rp7Gjn1y
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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7FdZaO2k
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvlRRWOOp6
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uRd83jQxF
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAsWiCoob
"Who changed it?!"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpuEMh1KW1
No one knew what he meant.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdixNI9RuEI
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkqbqSmD9R
10:37.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7l8I3DWQQ
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ffJKWS1h
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvviave7Mp
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7WIyKTABg
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGmIQJBrS
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvTpR4IUh
"What did you call me?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbkcrew8eq
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodRen5bR3l
"Say it again. Say my name again."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdINVEpAiYU
Lin lowered his voice:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9jhOaoL8
"…Yu Yong'an."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRJaAPinb3
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0YXGXlNQL
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0q7sMi9c
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl7LsKVTbI
12:20.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOJiCif8Ad
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXiBwyUSf6
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNEmmusrkv
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWv3zOBTX
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5ILEQHL4
15:01.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUPcfkFRO9
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbkre21etP
He shouted:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJ5PUshqS
"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!"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBBEn3A3Ql
The room fell silent.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LGSO5wc3p
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9KdXIxJud
"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…?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH9ledXEbJ
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz4DnycPu4
17:45.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQJjFMiFi
They convinced him to return to the dorm.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFSPWav9XT
As he left, he muttered:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUZLbzEgAs
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RMKfnaEq1
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnkJBWfg75
He whispered to himself:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h6itlwc3s
"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…"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFhKlFQB00
He never said who she was.No one knew.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMey6JIxVNk
But this room—was no longer his.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvib8OJlJx
It had become a threshold between two worlds.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qgrjr1pLO

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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qGKCHbBHd
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPEL0wDNQc
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL7mp6fl7Y
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHTk31ArjT

Tuesday, July 2nd161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCKhmWM79
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:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsGD4jxYV
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMXatCZtKu
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL98QqzHR6Y
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIRpftshH4
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxsXA2WAZE
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosQfWKIGiJ
Friday, July 5th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUQnBuddaN
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIY8tma6g1
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLzprUV6Af
He spoke in fractures:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdxtW4jAG
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJywuTIVj
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RlpR1Iqqn
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD4tbJoWEi
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoxivZLMpk
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFZf6Twl63
No date. No markings.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJ4dX5hbT
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WWd01TGsC
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptfnKvTYzr
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dC9PThpNx
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrdVbCSVDn
Tuesday, July 16th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCPTi2wPbe
He drew a map of a non-existent route—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY3LhyZvtH
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z8dt5Ysme
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqHQFtXxf
They visited the location that afternoon.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeDbhXFaSz
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNJvBOyVyZ
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtdmxV81l6
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."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7HgA837RP
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlHHGlNXX8
Friday, July 19th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9uQQcHhfm
He no longer tried to explain himself.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCxlfLeZQX
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBN8nPQbDS
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03unRvJS8Y
He had once tried to resist.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9na62YoUN6
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPvKgCtYD
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOL1MtaU7I
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfjRAZxM7F
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY6PzvzWij
Tuesday, August 6th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNC2WpgGOA
He hadn't spoken in a week.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNzV3SpbUw
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVgZg3SYdu
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x7kh5ncUU
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshVYdZV3wh
That morning, he found a note:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29DQ3hsV0L
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiixX5axQv
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj93WQa89ZM
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWsL4IV0DL
"She won't appear tomorrow."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQWzzJjk2
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNBmDagUuW
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfuPt0Z5Sq
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoFEowSUyU
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5wELfI53O
Friday, August 9th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfeJlMI7a0
He no longer walked—he glided.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHNXX6yDh
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlGBpW38X7
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpwQn0v2T9
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLekjj1eMNa
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBeuiWcUFH
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQVa0zxn7c
Chief Lin blinked:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrDw82cszo
"When have we ever come here together…?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDdsb8eGNv
Zhang didn't turn around.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesf2EHZL4
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwL2HR5rx
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQEHpEsBo
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGIJcWtaT
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmgyP4vWJE
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5va5JAX7i
He whispered:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7swszpkAL
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgQTKk7Vt8
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0iL1i97A0
Tuesday, August 20th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVGCVPkpPv
Rumors stirred at the precinct:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpwyzYt6DU
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhl8rTy9bi
That he filed visits to the already-dead.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWR2Em6kp
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtxNAALF0K
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZDDJxgUam
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcITAdKvszB
He left a note on his schedule:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeEm94qweU
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuJjeyw4FY
Friday, August 23rd161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLvzgfbJUI
His voice began to change.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pFnzceDds
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo3aCZapqG
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Lecm1xMj
"…Who just spoke that line?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUXB5qInsD
Zhang replied:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8mxGmHN56
"I didn't say anything."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIMk619SIZ
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgcMzj80ej
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DYLcRoL02
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEildnTNIM
He wrote that in his journal.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kfNFx8RGU
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuSmY9dLR9
—161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJEdeIVI43
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEZkLr8geJ
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxHDS9Knq6

Tuesday, September 3rd161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y8QUhPbSu
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPHyLU1Xql
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBsvG42Srq
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zn2QI9x7V
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz5T6Eg9O4
All he said was:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQM5pUO1F9
"I need silence."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnqLCj8zLr
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uqRUbaGa
Friday, September 6th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybV2NAT0Gn
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhJ5h5ybNV
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H9l32SKbE
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q6g8bHfkb
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4iRog9MKu
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08inOWo5Cp
It was as if the system itself had written it.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6zwnDsCaU
Chief Lin murmured later:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOtZ6bTsJz
"He's not here…but he's still here."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVI9j2aEWS
Tuesday, September 17th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLgZN6KFdZ
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UKAM9l9f8
• 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"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyLagd6pvD
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaCkbGGe8u
Witnesses said:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXnrrMQ9e8
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xi9Dyz7M3
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5HDUQetX
Friday, September 20th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYKdK3CBd
Day 27 of leave.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI9lsmey6g
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwhNQkqlEQ
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.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1uK4G4oj
He wrote:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwVwhHLZgc
"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."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxksYN2gTh
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbDe1A6GDZ
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd36EQkVBc
"This isn't leave. This is exile."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavZQAbEMJ
Tuesday, October 1st161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKAHOSD7Mx
There was no record of him anywhere.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhnOVZxtK
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj7h6xhzHw
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zEmXlH9rI
Even his phone signal stalled at:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZ6P5QkTE
September 30th, 23:59161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeV7ZE0LoE
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ4vfqOG6p
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIyKENqYjz
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQhSE7mqKe
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNehV5LzaqV
October 1st, 2025161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVHRqCzJQJ
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCMAHl2FK
Friday, October 4th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4pKcAvZLV
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHalD8n4yM
Someone asked:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzI9rMyVV
"Where have you been?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15EpZ8aslb
He replied:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLUFSBMVPp
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iel2qRXXv
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuuLVZKTb7
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F2s92VQfT
He was beginning to feel it:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iPEApxDEi
His right to language was being revoked.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtAFuZrPth
That night, a note was found on his desk:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWCyrP56Fk

Tuesday, October 15th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXyQfaRDr
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB6yu7pdh1
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfns6LtnL4
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fsKcXwRnj
When approached, he smiled and replied:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz05Xiw4nW8
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIrOBzu0Xf
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp8zoeXE98

That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIynWBhZMpZ

Friday, October 18th161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeGKceoOj4
