Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DYFRm0M1Z
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVMm4Qmscw
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlSocjRC5
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bDyh8HTD
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTPAASMAE1

08:12.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMzJD3zNj
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79SM1Hlf6F
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIMhCbbZYL
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGw1pP6b9
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBRYZexsk
"Who changed it?!"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2aRdOFFNr
No one knew what he meant.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPMFX4JvhC
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHlRzHf3j6
10:37.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt2548Vm4S
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCBzFiEKh
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OClDsMHbv
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFE37PidTL
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDjRSMTGRi
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmU5qUXof
"What did you call me?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcd6KV7ejR
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJcwikepjW
"Say it again. Say my name again."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOlH8E57wB
Lin lowered his voice:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGC5dBSA6s
"…Yu Yong'an."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kSwqd6i6M
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aG838Hyf
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxmP54B4CL
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeSLexBa3s
12:20.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9IldL90f3
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9Po9wHSN
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtUGsD8ne8
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgPWWxaNKn
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UI6L7l39l
15:01.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCr1vnw1Kx
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QNCYIYoMX
He shouted:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ruLp5JHIQ
"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!"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlzIg8ZK37
The room fell silent.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIdHIlSLeh
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg6IPwbLRy
"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…?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY6ZdcMeWW
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBoIGeshho
17:45.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26ON6Xsts
They convinced him to return to the dorm.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQEhigT3MN
As he left, he muttered:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKis6PdcGMI
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqiCqIbNT
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjJ2E74sRO
He whispered to himself:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCT0RstFu
"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…"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCV9keE5u3
He never said who she was.No one knew.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsAgaki89d
But this room—was no longer his.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb0hUlkg01
It had become a threshold between two worlds.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwlejaZORA

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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCzWAHxK4K
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdH7cWoJ5y
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6I3WPkqtH
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUaYx2Qoul

Tuesday, July 2nd12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7Z6JR7n1
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:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTDAZMS92
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfICtMMHIU
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgxne8WBo
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJKDfetyo
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIQAzPgmPk
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeuzczA191
Friday, July 5th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATbqHni45o
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v8eSPuLgY
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaXBt16ivi
He spoke in fractures:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKXOr1fQFa
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJB65H58Vh
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq9UXdMU4p
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DzYH1T3Wy
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO3HXVfTJJ
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdQqb537xT
No date. No markings.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDRFdfV6yx
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wdl68xO60
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvLZ62eOZF
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYM6lIolXi
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wjlfhfnMo
Tuesday, July 16th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlldiy0rQx
He drew a map of a non-existent route—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwKp1Zc68
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06XoCX17m
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkJXtIeypi
They visited the location that afternoon.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDl2KEWqA
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVAgJ8IQys
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi163xUyDRI
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."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgiYnjAJwT
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQpSOI3xXV
Friday, July 19th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntmliko3JD
He no longer tried to explain himself.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGh7fG3zCr
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1PZQzEYSD
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95F3O23vuR
He had once tried to resist.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0ZbC0OLtf
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZsp5xhLpQ
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4SDlOTLn
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTPl61VeN1
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTMTquu3Ub
Tuesday, August 6th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy5JZoB0X9
He hadn't spoken in a week.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE5H4CljPG
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHogkv9S24
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3GrsIzntA
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVSErULJ6q
That morning, he found a note:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk349yUZ3S
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mk0ZT04p7
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dl01caAdA
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31fEJMBa5r
"She won't appear tomorrow."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eUEtlv4ox
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xDvv8GidO
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MWejq2HPd
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ6wpTkJgp
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjItarCblS
Friday, August 9th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFt9FsDNkc
He no longer walked—he glided.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jEdEB3R7K
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilGXnTpxJn
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOgT42nv5Q
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGxTeKUA2
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKHzvxqoS
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSayASD7PqF
Chief Lin blinked:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncP8BdR64O
"When have we ever come here together…?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN2jNZfGY3
Zhang didn't turn around.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbedFcHzFu
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmXPxihPWd
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUianPQR3vJ
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeozDOCqNr
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqMYklen7B
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGNokmQTe
He whispered:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Xl1Qxpdo
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtawsqf7BW
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCDMwRncFB
Tuesday, August 20th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx16GjgdY1U
Rumors stirred at the precinct:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oCbtLkrJq
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBHnSikZd
That he filed visits to the already-dead.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcPpLod7vr
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRofzmFkZns
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A1WpmaEg1
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSmt0hJCDC
He left a note on his schedule:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YFm5yW86W
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uAt0x6lDJ
Friday, August 23rd12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFXO8ngOh2
His voice began to change.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfg30xEUQo
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpMFPYwWTf
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzTojeAvH9
"…Who just spoke that line?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUNxC0scs9
Zhang replied:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5azffgbP1t
"I didn't say anything."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx15UxuhIrI
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsesFQ1Z0N
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADEczniQ1A
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9ROAXYgB
He wrote that in his journal.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAFlN0zyO
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa2Gkmm4Im
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lXptPROpy
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaTAOTIlAO
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4I83fTC4V

Tuesday, September 3rd12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95zPSWUVZQ
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04tRxenwil
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5CNGTUY5Q
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksoSfqnrgd
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JRa9szvJg
All he said was:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMepnCh52p
"I need silence."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDPhvK9aXn
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsg4HxWUcT
Friday, September 6th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7CYD77QvW
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Fb2XPU5H
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79WCPkm8NW
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xrfjxw3O8
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypt754l4yI
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRHfie5oZw
It was as if the system itself had written it.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyYxExcgtn
Chief Lin murmured later:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XYE3AOCMs
"He's not here…but he's still here."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2ipjaxVj
Tuesday, September 17th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZFmA8ogu8
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eu2pg9kHU
• 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"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbzvkw9JH
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwmtmFzjHx
Witnesses said:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac4Y4zLIHM
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMImIpBFv0w
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT3RJjURC2
Friday, September 20th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90JOzJZsP6
Day 27 of leave.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboqOHbtVck
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWe8ksTuwx
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.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkltSec4B
He wrote:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov33RKfrug
"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."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iscIUQF9b
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVtJi2APZr
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslZ6CLLbSx
"This isn't leave. This is exile."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtea1M0ay60
Tuesday, October 1st12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hz8GatNBL
There was no record of him anywhere.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8bzxbjt1Q
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudESrhDGQV
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqrwngpNO
Even his phone signal stalled at:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQT10jDvFw
September 30th, 23:5912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbmLum0FTq
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XhbpmAecZ
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHW1JJ9puR
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbzUtEi70D
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50sFiQ8sjM
October 1st, 202512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQURuCxYc
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZxyOlBJt6
Friday, October 4th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUR2DPe3jY
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0NHaYHeSU
Someone asked:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto1LCvS019
"Where have you been?"12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8nhgOJ19g
He replied:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCwzFTIiK
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZtWRoCOg0
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeVN1pTQTl
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzUG6yGJqH
He was beginning to feel it:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPoKItb34t
His right to language was being revoked.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuLvWc7BwY
That night, a note was found on his desk:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQcrgaTHPO
[2024/10/04]12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgaXAaun27
High overlap in memory today.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSHWE72Tu6
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ9usDe0Fi
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKZDnh8iql
Both memories complete. No gaps.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxDWPm9DBt
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDHdhSQbpS
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUECSIEIPd
Tuesday, October 15th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOxUrYPZoD
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rjl5QP4wi
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkqIiZd4bU
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk11qh4EJ9
When approached, he smiled and replied:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzGv8tkHaT
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoJrvrCF5f
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdavXrK5iZ2
—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RUnCPit0X
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH5L7qSZeG
[Y.A.]12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQd9P3bylv
Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2wHVBIBH
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx4viJXriV
Friday, October 18th12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJQ394izA
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNBOU8hQzd
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91LQfzDkmB
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiDptkAFc5
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmS6SqukjR
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
