Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgAeSdKwb
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrPXeYRG5
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0XNTYBlmh
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuT4PhL44F
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxz79bOWk
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQTYYraCf5
08:12.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGBys3gs2F
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheBwxQIwHT
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThH8p3PbxS
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORXXs7fZlf
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKF2lYWVGO
"Who changed it?!"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEW0zwKuQn
No one knew what he meant.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt25nT8HYRq
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiHIoP9qXe
10:37.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMBUuA34z
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXgwefbLhk
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDaebvin4
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXCIudkPd
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxQaIq0BEw
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFyZd1hJzO
"What did you call me?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXC7tHosNf
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcd0b4kac8
"Say it again. Say my name again."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW9UnRFyIW
Lin lowered his voice:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5en8TwSbxc
"…Yu Yong'an."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwQnU5bx54
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7vd2Ag5bF
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fObmUPg9
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj8ahRJKZK
12:20.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiaWmMn7lS
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYt0y37tk3
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfS0cTs4p
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3vyxZQRan
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL6WK54GBJ
15:01.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLG4QlWGWv
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyXIgLvH17
He shouted:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzYOszNe3y
"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!"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJvRMAk4Nt
The room fell silent.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHhyZ6650l
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyTkP5Ic2a
"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…?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniTtO2Ki3o
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAeIkLtpAQ
17:45.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY0XMp0WXZ
They convinced him to return to the dorm.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWSj9I7wwi
As he left, he muttered:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwC3mXbMPC
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XN9F4fy3
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2G70rqbQS
He whispered to himself:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPWTzQOUfv
"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…"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gp0EhGzRW
He never said who she was.No one knew.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVQJtQFEKs
But this room—was no longer his.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZRJ0SmjEE
It had become a threshold between two worlds.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SMg5oVp0G

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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZldZ24w8o
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqAgW47DVy
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMIYdxBxqA
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7LLe0HakK

Tuesday, July 2nd64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45LQjd0cs
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:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21XpYYRSBK
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNwVXPg6St
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbDirSeI1
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyTBXtp47S
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUj42ozNoF
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnAN3S9h6N
Friday, July 5th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtINheCH78L
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDfj4ZQCFS
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3EIaOroQQ
He spoke in fractures:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWVL0e7t0M
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJUCX3hCkB
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpoA3bfAty
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7h0TfKnvm
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIVga6z0Lu
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMsSipVnWi
No date. No markings.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6mDMS6JD
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KaubhD8PD
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vo2sRElMu
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXNhk7oBH
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Q7zr3IFY
Tuesday, July 16th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDcMwQP2x
He drew a map of a non-existent route—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RP216doTZ
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJdnZCUNUD
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HBjV7Du1v
They visited the location that afternoon.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBimmqvM1j
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BoJERVAKQ
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX9xCS777H
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."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6g7FdFcuX
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zzgRxhnN0
Friday, July 19th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fHXWHPQq9
He no longer tried to explain himself.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpwYT20q5
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG11Ad5xY3a
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKnDCo8esJ
He had once tried to resist.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoCkZDxkmD
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdofFnPEvXv
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl60No6jcm
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAIYV43nE4
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XtJfh3Ys0
Tuesday, August 6th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HN4zZs2db
He hadn't spoken in a week.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ry5kXrt6
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTui36MHQn
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Eu2vVniDD
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGJPMfyg4r
That morning, he found a note:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfw8dXKXIc
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfSCtHnazb
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x0b7mWoej
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWup9PrJD5h
"She won't appear tomorrow."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ92VP0PO3O
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MuSumSxwt
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSTBKbinki
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvFPYJ8kfL
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQzVY7LPEA
Friday, August 9th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6TCv9Sg1x
He no longer walked—he glided.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrWAo3wr1a
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtZkfvt4m
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aLXzoeBvX
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3iMz5J1y
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07cWktPEo8
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBDitlsKBw
Chief Lin blinked:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA1SR6wV3y
"When have we ever come here together…?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlFiLHqLit
Zhang didn't turn around.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNVCQBfA9
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF4EjODbv4
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9DS8KncXS
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFWZyaYKXm
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiSTBgcqdS
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 764Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkzUpYUgPg
He whispered:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GpcTgS8u5
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIPlPiJ7D2
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEP0OiP8IX
Tuesday, August 20th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV1z0YL30m
Rumors stirred at the precinct:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBopmIPHqoJ
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0arHOsr1aX
That he filed visits to the already-dead.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAcv8uqJ2k
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQV3SqQ4F2
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJwzY2RNM
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa58eBlYkpt
He left a note on his schedule:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TGA38449d
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0vNXPGu6
Friday, August 23rd64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEiwc6aD6D
His voice began to change.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRHifNvsc
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtee4LsmXT
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpozeqd9Pm
"…Who just spoke that line?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJDtdtmQTF
Zhang replied:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i9SMvG23Y
"I didn't say anything."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESideGaYPH
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiT9fnWxox
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhlPE2Qzce
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCEBLs0DNa
He wrote that in his journal.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzyvjHANOp
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPnpxSAtDU
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYIYzrddml
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvePp1lMkrl
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoaVBRP450

Tuesday, September 3rd64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfL5rYJCuJ
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvFsg4oZ8T
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0pKPVzC6v
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0iaL9Al8
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHKxGwS9I8
All he said was:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR31fzfehY
"I need silence."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6E5K5VwI
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLdv4C8tf
Friday, September 6th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkA3kWm7yh
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQqoVEEOKg
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6SU7yG9QP
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYVKZIjlcy
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaRKA10p66
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhalckz9qsw
It was as if the system itself had written it.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpywxFLBYJ
Chief Lin murmured later:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcfhZb4SLb
"He's not here…but he's still here."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZEwBeQPZz
Tuesday, September 17th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG3WcaXcw0
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs2zkyrUBL
• 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"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x5TO0ifKg
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0bGkdm1tq
Witnesses said:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpOhGmAoel
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hLbN5QbKs
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmYRhKl0DW
Friday, September 20th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qG1FLGGHz
Day 27 of leave.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMOM8i45qe
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7XvzIHOld
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.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakMuTPn56S
He wrote:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9d24Z1KG
"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."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElB3qUYnM4
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcS1m0yAMq
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1OKdEjCq
"This isn't leave. This is exile."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmwVzFL64B
Tuesday, October 1st64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR3dUHutR2
There was no record of him anywhere.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLS1v7gNL
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOfQ4qwjH0
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABNEGzBny7
Even his phone signal stalled at:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGJBW8oA3
September 30th, 23:5964Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYwVmKZ6ow
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uKVSC2mSb
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOtFOMEKXA
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdjxoFDXG
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3vi3qfwVP
October 1st, 202564Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxxbGrQkAz
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTXudcXBGc
Friday, October 4th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo94nfrIapg
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbYYp4SiJR
Someone asked:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrwkqVMsqD
"Where have you been?"64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9X5ujP1z1
He replied:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DXFfUpxrq
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzmyPcUxb
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1aT1q0gYh
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp0hcKqnVk
He was beginning to feel it:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn9UKCDjEK
His right to language was being revoked.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9qxbvJcC0
That night, a note was found on his desk:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMg3Me6SJr

→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4rwm8Zawa
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9drCVnLd
Tuesday, October 15th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX8sVMGkvo
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07iO5wajS
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKQUVKYyqU
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ha2LfVsfO
When approached, he smiled and replied:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5neCSHo24
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lelw2vqg2
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTvgyYAukd
—64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQDFgeys3h
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3X6BqIiwW

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVJugfwZDI
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMQbZQP5xr
Friday, October 18th64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvDViZCrpV
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Dbedge5K
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ngwbK60u
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciYJsFrenB
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HPgf5Oase
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
