Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR2zY9fbhi
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSad5qYTRB4
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky7cZ6sXCd
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1KCCJJ4q3
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsEUaMD68U

08:12.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SEY47JwGA
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlm1owG1c
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb9ZtdoGyM
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxPFpJXO4i
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB9oPXfY4d
"Who changed it?!"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ172mW5xjjk
No one knew what he meant.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYqR7IVYg
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvZOJcmxMf
10:37.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArTPxD7zTM
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3akp8IHBcr
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIkZpiaw6B
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKA3F59cGg
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnHum7L1Eo
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkqQNx57HR
"What did you call me?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u972F57Wb
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjosW2WmV
"Say it again. Say my name again."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjgB0wMGpd
Lin lowered his voice:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLDfZJmGrT
"…Yu Yong'an."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y60i6AxDM
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghGd8XTOl2
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7bI2iuxWQ
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxSn8BidwE
12:20.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPqMsyQMQI
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNuMGaFU9j
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDXACzFfDX
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EZfRPoAOP
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHTdUhLQb
15:01.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PdCyL2hqK
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac2XKYYO4x
He shouted:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82jTOkHrU0
"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!"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCPMpph22k
The room fell silent.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIk9ojxS4f
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKcHgA7rr8
"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…?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX8giupEiG
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSMBChPjQN
17:45.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zSnsD8nB
They convinced him to return to the dorm.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4oZZvZXos
As he left, he muttered:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pj21nqRaY
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70COiMfRu
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGgjvfSUwe
He whispered to himself:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9aiybVdFM
"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…"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOmUAqlBq7
He never said who she was.No one knew.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGmTtMOqIP
But this room—was no longer his.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaF5HXfqdb
It had become a threshold between two worlds.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQMvJrGSX

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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxux0lUxEQ
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5xBoIvwR
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rxVWaP3GE
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27u5m2niQG

Zhang Huan-an's Mutation and the Descent Toward IntegrationJuly–August 2024 · Extensions of the Cyclical Collapse13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnTrlJ0aI8
Tuesday, July 2nd13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMmGieAXX
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:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEZukwCgxo
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfB7sg5mXE
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjsCaXsNQe
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFAsKqbzOK
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVjHOiSGBc
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uFZK08GOP
Friday, July 5th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJH3ftY8Ob
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjzCIaffHH
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKng5NNSEU0
He spoke in fractures:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYU52oCmDW
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXoRCeUKEs
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJkyPD2uPF
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC0x44NgA1
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsMyWw3jWF
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcztCrFLN2J
No date. No markings.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFKcwZurny
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAITtY3CI9p
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiLHECY1Ox
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnihE7fYDn
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQSN5h1JX4
Tuesday, July 16th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXETFWTvzP
He drew a map of a non-existent route—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdvAcIfMw
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAE7jRC1L0
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEMVOwe3jf
They visited the location that afternoon.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exseGdPKh
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRv0AjGwD
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7xIFdd2F9
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."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLQDM2Drwo
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpEhNGjpl
Friday, July 19th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6QL7fEPkO
He no longer tried to explain himself.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1qJfBfajk
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S2TPtgbBE
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJsj34e07
He had once tried to resist.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4li2nRUvhs
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fCW5WW0TO
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd7htQmFAf
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSvJAPqVV7
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo42bvBHWJ3
Tuesday, August 6th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUPeYYEZLB
He hadn't spoken in a week.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DyaxBBZ8
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ37GO5npo
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0M617bu1x
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ky176Hgw
That morning, he found a note:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKT7jyOma4
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvD9e3As3
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv3ZrBdI4u
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1g1vclhS
"She won't appear tomorrow."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LmhFz5rnp
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB9qD1XkoN
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qzpfelCK0
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbETDPmuV84
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyaibYzcSv
Friday, August 9th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwFvBCF4D
He no longer walked—he glided.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwRjypwyP
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMa8wmF2sH
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsmjOeGe50
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8iyg65xHE
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTDENNXilz
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F2SNwQXZQ
Chief Lin blinked:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8cMn644ZC
"When have we ever come here together…?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq0MEVMOQf
Zhang didn't turn around.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmKljpY1JS
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsF7JWF7a3
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MD2pIvICV
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Baxe8VOA
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYt24G2po
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1CrkEVgAR
He whispered:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i2EhZkHFK
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsDVkZJzG4
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCPXDo0upr
Tuesday, August 20th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwKit3Xj6F
Rumors stirred at the precinct:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7WzNF1n75
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGit7ual9i
That he filed visits to the already-dead.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUXcq3Og8k
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm1M4OySvj
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTF09Ivnxu
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDqiurInQK
He left a note on his schedule:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLKrvbUwY1
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMENTSD3Mbn
Friday, August 23rd13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGhZcHsHwd
His voice began to change.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8lds4mGlV
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxB16N0Bw
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JDsE8rgHg
"…Who just spoke that line?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcubatXQmp
Zhang replied:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRpv7rfi33
"I didn't say anything."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykJ9dFctpt
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEkVbFXlBt
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE6Gyydrtn
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W6IIVu1x2
He wrote that in his journal.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxu8X9pB9
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTygw2SgUV
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISupNoOYAD
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgezvFv8qS
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEWQ9xUfqi

Tuesday, September 3rd13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe79F42uq0C
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFizh4jtgs
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfphZpJbr
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAGeVdx4zP
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSQedTnCFQ
All he said was:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwGLO0JZ2
"I need silence."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliW045yj8D
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXdzQbvHk9
Friday, September 6th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0dmF94avD
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1zzmG0wZY
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KGgn0NtGw
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xg02MWeYr
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdZrmIfmm
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ah0kV2Yi0
It was as if the system itself had written it.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MItZFRPTz
Chief Lin murmured later:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF18dPL9Nq
"He's not here…but he's still here."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY70DT2jTz
Tuesday, September 17th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lK0VvTk2
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8otLzEcq
• 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"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6s4bbPMAr
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO1QdRJTQi
Witnesses said:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGAKkuhKW0
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNerCj2eJu
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwddrxJMdyx
Friday, September 20th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwZXGfdC8
Day 27 of leave.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyEk1OSr3B
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrQFua9woJ
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNBzzX2C3c
He wrote:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLb6FgRplK
"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."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARLkeiZ6Rq
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjYvtdXuw
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw61wrsck7H
"This isn't leave. This is exile."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pI3WDKuS5
Tuesday, October 1st13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa1cAEzhNh
There was no record of him anywhere.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MD82iPwyJ
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EW4bTs8Dv
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewq6ZBsxrY
Even his phone signal stalled at:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5ZdbN9VB
September 30th, 23:5913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkg44ZgxI
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSPq9uGNo2
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi1rDjGOWO
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYmzRNS3Zp
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7vQmA5B5
October 1st, 202513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aG42LKmAD
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PKNJwSuqZ
Friday, October 4th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7DNDOOnef
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTue6CPWdaT
Someone asked:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVLpUDaG5d
"Where have you been?"13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1fWqEw4EO
He replied:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzA3pKNRlH
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQS2eEw3N
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mjYUUzQd
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0gnuB0ZpB
He was beginning to feel it:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl7c5ANSio
His right to language was being revoked.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ58ytNKTH
That night, a note was found on his desk:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsBorE6FQ8
[2024/10/04]13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskqCjDdIpn
High overlap in memory today.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkUjHvZWVt
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOYdeKJ8j6
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigfIjPD2eL

Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXZc3vwyKK
Tuesday, October 15th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO4vN03W0H
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGd0bHYiZ8
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bMjOEhURL
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0phyl80jO
When approached, he smiled and replied:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyUHK2ZYEu
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDNyvwLDs1
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZfT5prnb7
—13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo52jyI1dZe
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJBEkeFeAC
[Y.A.]13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLKezaR7L6
Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3x7X1zJha
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi59wFQYKXq
Friday, October 18th13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAozAoE2H5
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7aEuOZxNX
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5iT9lud55
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW5N2VKHty
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnlz6i3LJt
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
