Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqRNzVrpWg
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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6OZhr9iQX
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJiOdHDwdV
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6522IDnVym
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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMNG9B3Fws
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeprgACeN4P
08:12.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcRAR3gO5c
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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lyaxr1qgN
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vDAUowuJ
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39KaXoonqo
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7K4FvvRMN
"Who changed it?!"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI84azL1EDu
No one knew what he meant.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdxyztMmqG
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFflWECHGbL
10:37.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL64eewaH5k
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBFRVYIqe
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOevrmtGO5
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkYjrXrwfQ
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf8vV36TYI
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFB2yW1R2M
"What did you call me?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Azvtuafkn
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WfSDw2i8m
"Say it again. Say my name again."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8BtptdanC
Lin lowered his voice:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7eDysZgH
"…Yu Yong'an."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKdBsTG4B7
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPPp88T5m
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaudTcD5ggF
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunmzh0hliW
12:20.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gglGAEtsO
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuIbNNvOQF
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPVaZQYX6b
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIim7aGkKHU
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmCYs5bCjZ
15:01.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBiofLIg1p
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqg932crCj
He shouted:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICSmA2JFk
"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!"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9WK0ANsEE
The room fell silent.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQeEa3CBIE
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnCFurQHSL
"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…?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnIrXM3kLz
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoQxKUEfhe
17:45.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYflV15JN5t
They convinced him to return to the dorm.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2glBJakTU
As he left, he muttered:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJmUJyhECj
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSBwU6R9YB
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O9exXdp1h
He whispered to himself:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XzALVjsXR
"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…"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHEFChGgp6
He never said who she was.No one knew.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oqXKUmXA2
But this room—was no longer his.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe21HFolBYK
It had become a threshold between two worlds.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlUoEDbICf

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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp7RKfd8Sr
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzmfwfLT5
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx220XuT7K
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVaUvPShiA

Tuesday, July 2nd106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqSEPkhFkB
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:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVUW9Aw8bA
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQY89qKnV
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNH9BncUIv
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZr9USPgEx
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPbxsKYb0h
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0WjVTswyu
Friday, July 5th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzVcCtIKUF
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeEc3AaOxX
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO1ZZV6zOx
He spoke in fractures:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uzJZ8TFaW
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhJKssYCP
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaz1p8SiIn
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpVD3lMYNy
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gfqZiAWwu
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoDwuhqMXF
No date. No markings.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJAYVetLw
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z6YbWDPSJ
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugyge7cdD
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbmdkoeawN
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJFyxlJo0
Tuesday, July 16th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbkfycei06
He drew a map of a non-existent route—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7wLlhTjNR
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vvpjri4Uq
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCCx70f8hs
They visited the location that afternoon.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs97RlHUDaE
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9XGJoqbqC
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Rv33hhGr

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXdV91brn6
Friday, July 19th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIv2Eqv9cK
He no longer tried to explain himself.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKbZQsEI7r
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoy0FIKuB3
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj43lwbVis
He had once tried to resist.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1mlknvor4
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qUdQOwpcy
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3d5vRhEci
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNn7peaiET
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIVLl1y7fR
Tuesday, August 6th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0DOGWn4Wf
He hadn't spoken in a week.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vetSLsurx
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZihPYer6aK
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6adeLDA8eE
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvtIrC1wX
That morning, he found a note:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMqUWuV9w
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HAX6u8GGd
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QRmv4WMtt
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2hjCaMtJ
"She won't appear tomorrow."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRobB6zJaR
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7kO2dgh1h
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokV5xBRU0X
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJu1QWevZ7
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNlzBPBPJ9
Friday, August 9th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtgmsULyM
He no longer walked—he glided.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSNjFwWFux
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybyiN84HhB
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUHu9lX3h
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCKptmQWpZ
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMNnKBsuav
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWr3uk4JpS
Chief Lin blinked:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsV8HPc8Kt
"When have we ever come here together…?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBiHl1pIFI
Zhang didn't turn around.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vjUaU69o
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BiY2XtPg
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWoG1NePZG
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyWmEuBUG
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox83A415es
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38s5nONHx5
He whispered:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi0Ej9mq3Z
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzijgQNTAF
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDNAjmVMjq
Tuesday, August 20th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CGUEXpgqP
Rumors stirred at the precinct:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMLGljr0zk
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXkzUAMCZb
That he filed visits to the already-dead.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6wT8RGE2a
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpksFwegSO
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzGtvARu3x
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZlKXaJYfH
He left a note on his schedule:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFKpoSmZM
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eutV9ANyd
Friday, August 23rd106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWtNnkCvMi
His voice began to change.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7hNnDNudT
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG85Biapek
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq81qNa5qEC
"…Who just spoke that line?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27mBfzuPB
Zhang replied:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGHSxiwYT9
"I didn't say anything."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQU4vD4Tbn
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFngjSDSbfF
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXgWLnT0w7
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeqT0MYpQs
He wrote that in his journal.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pOKFpWysm
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Td5EXBmK
—106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeX3BRneJQ
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2jyu039D4
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RDBjsk6cR

Tuesday, September 3rd106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeraz3JrMo
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI6IeisThH
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6v2tMkjBA
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInrzK6GcLC
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMUtBey5tR
All he said was:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaI94M4GjI
"I need silence."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ij8vtfoS
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEvrnjgsNs
Friday, September 6th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ780iouUs
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5GOscXUUD
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fvx7O6MML
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvEz3eEDu
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH3Ifdu6gy
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t6rIUkdId
It was as if the system itself had written it.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnowPlnJW1k
Chief Lin murmured later:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrXXddLiP
"He's not here…but he's still here."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTMkRIfCZ4
Tuesday, September 17th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYFdM4EMc
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLknPqjl4wL
• 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"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWp1jiNlR
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9wogAmfh
Witnesses said:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncudyghbN
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4UOIrBvAC
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWRagasFQR
Friday, September 20th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SjPscn3jf
Day 27 of leave.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKatEmzufLo
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMWGccZVNX
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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHKOEVGKgv
He wrote:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc8h61wbkw
"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."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q18HGXasE
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLqqTVACp
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQGJArCkb
"This isn't leave. This is exile."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWxJUJbup
Tuesday, October 1st106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTLanzeN6q
There was no record of him anywhere.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySMIYyfDZs
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt9QHGFcPx
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs6rAm16P6
Even his phone signal stalled at:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEBAQh3xOC
September 30th, 23:59106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBEDJmHy2t
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UlDGtUET
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kON124fsF
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMgr2jABJM
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDckxWhf7v
October 1st, 2025106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQGAt52Ip
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpisEWMrD
Friday, October 4th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VDWCXZM2T
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYYYDkSkhT
Someone asked:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC7DDgaUOK
"Where have you been?"106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNyaiYQx76
He replied:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXohygNrsWA
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPImhrgbGO
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePBrbHbwSl
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHre2zSlIlR
He was beginning to feel it:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xFzvGFOp1
His right to language was being revoked.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvWggblYa
That night, a note was found on his desk:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZ5XipgJE

Tuesday, October 15th106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4sjXBGaTi
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEIGhCzjBR
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG41r5o29VD
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0CJo0RDm
When approached, he smiled and replied:106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEniAUbTON
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn3tM2k8Dc
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrA6J1hsGr
