Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2bb57ljp
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskoHivaWfk
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADwtZ3inRD
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwTxGzLazv
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33MXqsVIX5
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iYddMvFw3
08:12.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYDNqVLEx
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA97JkOwfj
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmRPJL1HIB
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfEyWlskJ8
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYLaQKUUa
"Who changed it?!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWHqgXRg11
No one knew what he meant.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7oL3WRxCC
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZGeHa0gk5
10:37.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO7yqgKUn9
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvxJRD6zKw
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKWlwOI2a6
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21d3VBHsgH
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CZPk1Ga4
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPb348wV0p
"What did you call me?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkACfUNgZ4T
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoHiA7lEEw
"Say it again. Say my name again."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KhWqzyR3Z
Lin lowered his voice:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnKLOoaC9x
"…Yu Yong'an."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc55vK5yn52
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2luIHRBatR
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavfqCWklkJ
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN35qyoOptW
12:20.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6jTcFr3sq
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv6BCpJY6A
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshfzY8itd
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kt5IVYsAy
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9u2o4cYz
15:01.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQvJrgdFE
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3f8TPVJs
He shouted:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVj6kreE1W
"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!"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2bTHko8Z
The room fell silent.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfXqEugMb
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKvxC342y
"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…?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynKtbIuRaW
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1XILtj6YK
17:45.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWTobOG2fA
They convinced him to return to the dorm.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtN3WvvFfM
As he left, he muttered:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN8YXoXZOE
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1wSG8TTPZ
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfiKSw36Y
He whispered to himself:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcoYmD4YbT
"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…"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszpv7QKG5u
He never said who she was.No one knew.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15XKllJXs1
But this room—was no longer his.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVIKlYPVk
It had become a threshold between two worlds.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CVi197HSD

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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzowHxDyF4z
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCDfPHDfu0
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR227s4L3d
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuj0YTUaGw

Tuesday, July 2nd163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCsBAj0kqu
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:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bLzlIuB9v
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoksieNlkvf
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWSvfBZtnL
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9JQNSAouj
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9telhgsbz
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciIuDMOb15
Friday, July 5th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieoDkzbdK
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeC16romUd
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZzYI7ZMk
He spoke in fractures:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduDmO0fRlI
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajQqDWrag
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaY7odbIoo
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrwjlstjx4
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMigIEvapIo
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLuPduCEj
No date. No markings.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMoCC8NZ3
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nBNRRHdWV
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK7IBAMrMJ
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mUBE8ZK27
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGKS6LZqgF
Tuesday, July 16th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAEjIxphoW
He drew a map of a non-existent route—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3hJjd9yI
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOnPTIdEsf
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe2x4mEmQ9
They visited the location that afternoon.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtlvsDdIO
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QS7hSuBeg
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJPzhLDxAV
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."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4plXFHGGrC
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxKh0YUYxB
Friday, July 19th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84mR84cn9w
He no longer tried to explain himself.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJSLk3UWT
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7JHlyXDwG
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7khKiZfn2y
He had once tried to resist.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvOigQnKj
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMIyJliGay
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouNhCKCl9M
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsDSeHM5ln
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpzoOxCXCq
Tuesday, August 6th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUIpKJuY04
He hadn't spoken in a week.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynqncCyOZP
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYVULvcV62
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvbBUzJmb1
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLQYMOk2Z
That morning, he found a note:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrzQYfU126
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghCtXUCMZr
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVgdgvqn9G
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9s3rJ5oKv
"She won't appear tomorrow."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ89GN6N0aA
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4OhmcVzih
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbS8n8q00s
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdK7VhfCQz
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59TOaI6esf
Friday, August 9th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdQ0i1KFj
He no longer walked—he glided.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreXoNGFT6c
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNxgkaquHi
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJTHv7NnJm
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtrKYBdp0u
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYcJVice2
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQYxEeT1fg
Chief Lin blinked:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaKrCXC2Yv
"When have we ever come here together…?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5zuzQE5vp
Zhang didn't turn around.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhnQoanL5O
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc5wZSjaI9
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HE3POTMKQ
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZczRXW3xHb
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxG7Fe2WV1
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4eWQ6Zcz
He whispered:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmDFryPrjj
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡracJL6o12i
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86JeLKX1ew
Tuesday, August 20th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrBS5imPTj
Rumors stirred at the precinct:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSPpOuxnKB
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuP5TufUvT
That he filed visits to the already-dead.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ry4lOkIek
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg2nOH8I7k
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRVWI5EEwU
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqQJqJMioU
He left a note on his schedule:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14gWPa84cC
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZ2pZb4FR
Friday, August 23rd163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbzQaLsbL
His voice began to change.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277AnATAeK
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyh7EMohuk
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn6CEvBEod
"…Who just spoke that line?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTL9ouAKEE
Zhang replied:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7nrgbBTXL
"I didn't say anything."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNixklvPhWj
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fnolUegT1
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31A0D6nEv
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl06PRTHRhK
He wrote that in his journal.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk15UR7kAy
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7fj9FB5X6
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrACIe7Cgk
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZAXxuWFQH
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8I2goXkfN

Tuesday, September 3rd163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ01aXSG09
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KMoJ3Dmff
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi45H7DAHwo
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwysVnQ5ey
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89in8iNxdH
All he said was:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKYHntQm3h
"I need silence."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97kcwgxfZ
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWbsbdhnwl
Friday, September 6th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUEeNF5B3
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QVrzyYdw
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlyhngRDWR
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrADRLgUi7
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURDLDBwddU
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyujPS6jsj1
It was as if the system itself had written it.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArkL1Ai0c8
Chief Lin murmured later:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYHu7WHeb
"He's not here…but he's still here."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrvT5tWgjU
Tuesday, September 17th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xRbvwplpV
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMOFswux2p
• 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"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WYlhaf3rf
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXTs4NcFxe
Witnesses said:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS8U0rI8GQ
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTXUYJvO7K
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKQ3v09gEm
Friday, September 20th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZKoMgJPLD
Day 27 of leave.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd2ARU0yUG
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x1ka8u7wY
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.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU5QzYRyZB
He wrote:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvBms5Njrh
"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."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWshvXU3j6z
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRPsHghFrG
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmyMtqX4l5
"This isn't leave. This is exile."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z83c97teH
Tuesday, October 1st163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvyFyr3ait
There was no record of him anywhere.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yPgFCjLDq
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0GVU3Aat
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8nd4dFe4d
Even his phone signal stalled at:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLhTUVaVaW
September 30th, 23:59163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlZbY36LSd
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWTRUePHKb
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaWOQRO5M9
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1AFUP0eMQ
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CpbZYGQE7
October 1st, 2025163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu24E8u97Q
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHeodZovmk
Friday, October 4th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUIHbWKuM
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3JTQuwjUD
Someone asked:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTllp0HfoR
"Where have you been?"163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukDOkqqoq9
He replied:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dclPkLSpm
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZGup0MdP7
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8YRw4g8dM
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiVK4wVbxF
He was beginning to feel it:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5JUqwbTI5
His right to language was being revoked.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGUu79Sw0X
That night, a note was found on his desk:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm6d6N1ZWI

Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dg9KliIV1
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5eQXpRkP
Both memories complete. No gaps.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUkrj91pf
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDva0BKJsRu

Tuesday, October 15th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUMHcnB4F
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzzq2v7dIj
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMecTfnJjT9
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUxIS8Suq
When approached, he smiled and replied:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r4Xi5NGkS
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbIX934GKA
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSt6pX2NPp
—163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF1lMbJbGV
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreuXsahE5e

If we meet again,neither of us will survive.163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm23mRQLriW
Friday, October 18th163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHj2MNJOck
