Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJbXbZZwwX
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwcknazPbp
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJXwtxjvhP
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb7nfxjafA
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKe9IMzVoe
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUzZ8JhG1v
08:12.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsowv1Kn49
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt6QnXc0OU
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8fVu4pJ8t
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCBnhZtEcA
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvMNmAOy28
"Who changed it?!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSFERkjoFL
No one knew what he meant.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKsihNyBme
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZ99MsKBE
10:37.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Ht6S7wcV
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNgUdkFAGu
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkS6mmk0uP
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmEmLNU0r
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTUscHZoWT
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J69p0ic58
"What did you call me?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgunHCdTPto
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MlWFuQcMq
"Say it again. Say my name again."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUocUBQN4
Lin lowered his voice:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzO9g8t2kM
"…Yu Yong'an."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FBWEOQHb
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVFY9tghuH
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3LTC9faSU
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfCyIAcVns
12:20.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxhb7xaUL2
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJEOb34wp
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHCbhUipxa
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFx8OBV2z
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe1AHovoic
15:01.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLYdNYd5Qj
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnC4gVuqd
He shouted:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vfB9aLkPb
"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!"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDq5XsORNl
The room fell silent.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSZxaZ7CIE
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QPS9PrvT9
"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…?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV2dSo5M0E
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoqM7Y3Chi
17:45.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgcUUzCvxx
They convinced him to return to the dorm.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bjkH6x3Nr
As he left, he muttered:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ126qqyLvtY
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCDzG547Db
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSqmG3OfcI
He whispered to himself:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEJAJmRfdO
"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…"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIPgU9cmE
He never said who she was.No one knew.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLofpbrPu
But this room—was no longer his.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab2ypnyC6G
It had become a threshold between two worlds.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRQEs1yjkX

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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhS8CRetwI
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfN2DP0WZG
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAMgQV8tUT
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXbi5z9HQz

Tuesday, July 2nd146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIpLCTpzkG
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:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnhdG9neF
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEzkU25Dxr
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7FqF1xgF9
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5keKiZy34a
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktx1seerrS
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdc1uqppm1
Friday, July 5th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmy18aOC4I
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt1watktWN
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCv2Zr03Z8
He spoke in fractures:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pEA2Yyhv0
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzgQOEX1qn
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTNKeN3bTH
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD0PUBSUod
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpU93TWGqg
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f970lA1hj
No date. No markings.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfysOakYDk1
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfyCl7tyrR
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUogFqGraw
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmbjc18ss
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEoDzVDKgx
Tuesday, July 16th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2ryCnwO7
He drew a map of a non-existent route—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNMe9LvgXq
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACB9j3fhoN
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLBjd3djkO
They visited the location that afternoon.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBDh0tXPe8
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM32ARlsPz
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH3MHiT7j6
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."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU9rBr2WKe
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqnJQ132ep
Friday, July 19th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzzA5AOQbz
He no longer tried to explain himself.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7pk7u1mDv
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB5wiU6Z6S
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaBvls5tkj
He had once tried to resist.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfsjuXvv43
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDakRgF5i
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2XgB4vnS
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpE1y5qwE4
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VZ0OFgF4C
Tuesday, August 6th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1dwPQUIvl
He hadn't spoken in a week.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcq5B4l59Z
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjPDU1HEk
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVZhIFWmWG
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRLjVDUKQq
That morning, he found a note:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHycDdKdda
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqFUOcpHU
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPbX2qXI44
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRHa6sByXW
"She won't appear tomorrow."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMjNwtiTL4
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7tljDFub0
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIsc5jly8
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSU92DjPA8
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvyTvy8hw4
Friday, August 9th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HuJ1zDzZ7
He no longer walked—he glided.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdDV33XFH6
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPO1xhsEXv
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gaWAefIbT
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmnPjGRfft
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR9vymHWNX
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmxEbVaade
Chief Lin blinked:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWV4MopT8s
"When have we ever come here together…?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdjpFd00qT
Zhang didn't turn around.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhytOsmRL5X
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRTdwbv7UL
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1XGRdOZqY
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegX0QYYdUH
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8lajisEf0
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ1AiEMKzr
He whispered:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLheR3EVgJ
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58FUJMvkqC
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQMTmZKrsK
Tuesday, August 20th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c9PUwfo2y
Rumors stirred at the precinct:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L2phuuS52
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sO7WOAtMC
That he filed visits to the already-dead.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b8UmR7gkU
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S9u6erjuK
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxQQDXG8o
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bf7eazIfn
He left a note on his schedule:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOY9vhpx5u
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaPUG94u9I
Friday, August 23rd146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpj3jyLeoL
His voice began to change.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI8vYf9TGy
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvaOy2CJxy
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxyIfymdmM
"…Who just spoke that line?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVEI9la7Xi
Zhang replied:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aUtylNSSd
"I didn't say anything."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5btNRgnro
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQgntmwZ6C
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Ac8a2u2I
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQxfUED1ju
He wrote that in his journal.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvV43z3Qkr
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfYZNDwAy7
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58XBld1iH4
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0U9A26oij
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXO1l2eHM

Tuesday, September 3rd146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCvCT8BNRQ
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1h5g7bd4
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE05Fyszyy8
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGva153PsY
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW8DJFU0rb
All he said was:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlewjgOAWnw
"I need silence."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3c5m7kJM
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPUeFabgAe
Friday, September 6th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEogSEUMJq
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV14vft6Hbq
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtCn2befN
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUqr8RN2VY
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHR1nZht1B
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuPRK32qpy
It was as if the system itself had written it.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNv9gqFNC1
Chief Lin murmured later:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdNNlQDXHS
"He's not here…but he's still here."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumanJHJz86
Tuesday, September 17th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpjdPY4F2
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYIRvCVRsJ
• 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"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3D2sCMof
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZgYEhbfyY
Witnesses said:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qxFshJQr6
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHNDohZKH5
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69xGvd3HVP
Friday, September 20th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeowH8WTmD
Day 27 of leave.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtUvbxMg3
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTtz2IjDNv
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.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMOElUuWs
He wrote:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSxbjJtUaE
"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."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMWgMZ9y3
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIpy0zDzPD
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4flLO7XXun
"This isn't leave. This is exile."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzUqFOJiuy
Tuesday, October 1st146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKcYzEDkF
There was no record of him anywhere.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0YuqeBWc
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5RC9aJDr
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I7cMyJFZ2
Even his phone signal stalled at:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgwEtvNCWI
September 30th, 23:59146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3meVVvA0jl
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CStiQeCKj
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3DsHgd3L
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Akvh4iny
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7KgsHOlNT
October 1st, 2025146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVtSUFa9iN
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyNsoXzcUI
Friday, October 4th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6DydDbFKG
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo5wkj4GdJ
Someone asked:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCh0miacoW
"Where have you been?"146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDkZmmdmD
He replied:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmO1eoIhgn
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAOHyXoCTy
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkzbLRIZaZ
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdGeBj7hOW
He was beginning to feel it:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU46SQ7uht
His right to language was being revoked.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZyQFgaduU
That night, a note was found on his desk:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc7OKyVZ3d
[2024/10/04]146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZgaz1qg1N
High overlap in memory today.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDJ7MPMhX3
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMLNyEsqZO
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWySn0KUnb
Both memories complete. No gaps.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oEOKajZGw
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIF0Q45r7k
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afheS8EgD
Tuesday, October 15th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJwnzT4lum
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ965pdVLxlU
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEle3N952mh
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoLI7ZrfgZ
When approached, he smiled and replied:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Lmo1wyS2
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMMTBPNQeK
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNUx4aluSe
—146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ123TmQZrkV
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgog7KQA2mv

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXralS2pSm
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNeZjW5G1D
Friday, October 18th146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwFzarMOr6
