Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFCxTgtPq6
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGB2Ts73Zi
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2hAvmwT6K
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeEQY9wDro
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeoADeCO3O
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHcWsaBRwx
08:12.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4rD8Zoeaj
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVfjMnhRzD
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIcxeMYIBD
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupSwqXXsiG
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQQ1VYX3RZ
"Who changed it?!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR7pw0NYDJ
No one knew what he meant.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bszAmlF7K
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87CYZZtKbR
10:37.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioe7MsyyZ6
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5owesHidj
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFrjlVaDK
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5QetzGSCP
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTqL3oJFkT
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJuuuZu5P
"What did you call me?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM9b2Ieqx8
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg4HX1TOQA
"Say it again. Say my name again."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuEqiLOWoa
Lin lowered his voice:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg8Kj19GuD
"…Yu Yong'an."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU79iaelTka
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgT2JYM1aI
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlvVBuxlow
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuGjoCjQVG
12:20.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CuwLR98sn
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKXc0tegdE
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i36XELP4T
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6di97l3dyK
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEH8KduiuA
15:01.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf06ZXOWUjD
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJJbPahUri
He shouted:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN0602LxgS
"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!"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDwZwEMwmc
The room fell silent.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jUKp1m9hB
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRNvBBgOP
"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…?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObx4oyq8IH
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyO3Wp5FUx
17:45.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LxaM7Yrke
They convinced him to return to the dorm.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLnsF7p1tb
As he left, he muttered:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECWMfqklR
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpv1tL27Iv
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6HJHDQJtY
He whispered to himself:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQD6N1lwo
"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…"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqn1CSTnAs
He never said who she was.No one knew.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UWVOiMRkK
But this room—was no longer his.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFIRELAcZK
It had become a threshold between two worlds.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii7PiMBo7w

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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Ew0FmGqD
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoImxTSUvoD
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyhP86lEOj
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYeS3Ezvhf

Tuesday, July 2nd77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBIheCcH1w
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:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGJaVMgjGU
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1gJNCNXcc
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpzcLRSV7
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI8C6zKlHh
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JwX8fSfuA
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpyetDh6Pr
Friday, July 5th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme9BU6JINi
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mcS9ayYQk
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C9ACPrsdn
He spoke in fractures:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7bvJ69h3L
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoavpXfSFn
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhKmoFUMd9
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbDKhQkNla
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTC0cJT2U6
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JQ6qeeBP0
No date. No markings.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3jXjUaHM
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgqk69oW31
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEwugHkpsA
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2OH06w1IC
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuNjpqab1
Tuesday, July 16th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcSpProPtO
He drew a map of a non-existent route—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG6q7ysAqZ
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOlUWJh7wR
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg9U3i0Krb
They visited the location that afternoon.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESOVq17lgp
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBaZGraTTJ
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6YcN6XyXN

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekFdh7WYg
Friday, July 19th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EnyN961oQ
He no longer tried to explain himself.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ot7JhzTGG
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48b2vOBiQZ
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgQs0hfEA9
He had once tried to resist.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJlzQo1JYd
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxQWVIdgJ
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNAEn3twX
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnmYPuHiKn
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlxsg7asPa
Tuesday, August 6th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmM84gsHq7
He hadn't spoken in a week.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rhH2DRb2d
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQL1UTHca
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCgg5BD8jm
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKWAMzbqLi
That morning, he found a note:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUKWXyhtbV
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP48mCcg52
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH18hJMDmz
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO07imfY0pf
"She won't appear tomorrow."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVY3OkCmHQ
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSrHBQxyMj
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYdzpZzOey
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsWGVNUb49
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPguSlHe6q
Friday, August 9th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu1IzSumei
He no longer walked—he glided.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lSkyYaIhM
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdubh09q3w9
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7BlBOSNs
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2IIAEbVqC
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wv4V890v7
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQlOoM6CaX
Chief Lin blinked:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jqgAR2jUx
"When have we ever come here together…?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2ic1GxjK2
Zhang didn't turn around.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1qgL76bR7
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPv49QADJr
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZIEcxJ3i2
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkOnIrDay0
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GSC6DpbI
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubNpRDRqah
He whispered:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY19wbMGqL
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDQyvLrX13
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWSgn5OkVU
Tuesday, August 20th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckUjZI1mmN
Rumors stirred at the precinct:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6dsjUJIhH
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8dP6jqUS7
That he filed visits to the already-dead.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO75fKeaOgu
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxKhU752lA
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rbYf9O9C
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3VSPRP8KL
He left a note on his schedule:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv2V52QJih
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqqzbluNIZ
Friday, August 23rd77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFOXH4MOGP
His voice began to change.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pa7oCZ6dD
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwD2zPLcg9
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvQDKwtwCh
"…Who just spoke that line?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8qQi6irLS
Zhang replied:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyeBCEKxAm
"I didn't say anything."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3rYuj1ilK
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iuUnItYnR
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREP25M9Ydp
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh1yyZ2JQz
He wrote that in his journal.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvvsVvvluP
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigopp7hj3Y
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjsQ14zFd
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLVhlQPu6D
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZDOmoCp8W

Tuesday, September 3rd77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo0Cg9MKXK
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq546Abj7N
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut4RLThNc0
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScErRgBGyA
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMdtHzDVUm
All he said was:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobfoi1h4ds
"I need silence."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED5K6SecA0
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2oAYQDKQj
Friday, September 6th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqHLp1udU9
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGOGbRuPeK
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwdqIU2X9S
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNur3Utob7
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r2UW0ges8
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K98i3WaW0
It was as if the system itself had written it.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt8gtOSoAZ
Chief Lin murmured later:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU8f7EdcnH
"He's not here…but he's still here."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKSqqOskB6
Tuesday, September 17th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDKHFBLEuY
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZEPO3hm4
• 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"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX0U1c2msF
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33ny51pLR
Witnesses said:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLJsyp2i7E
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoAVDjcmCN
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOgUCHvpo
Friday, September 20th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0w90sYL8s
Day 27 of leave.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TJForbTQ7
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bldxrj3iv
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.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cezb3dg2z
He wrote:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2yi1Aq18q
"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."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGrXdZouFH
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwkLszLib
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OewdkPxqp
"This isn't leave. This is exile."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvKKAIDKh
Tuesday, October 1st77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wtsEvWoPF
There was no record of him anywhere.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOsOAutWOY
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwotF5l77bV
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2idCpzzPss
Even his phone signal stalled at:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOby1e5KE
September 30th, 23:5977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB4rpQ9JrY
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rYHJ5hJvr
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlTJeGiok
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJjBqGWx5
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymlu2skLv2
October 1st, 202577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BHSb8nO90
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9osZyooZyP
Friday, October 4th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwL1RPT9tP
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovczHgCD1P
Someone asked:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiEOrPDnlW
"Where have you been?"77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfGSceRXTY
He replied:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJqN1qnuXY
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTCSVVqjNl
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6bnevR7Z
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H9QeGzIE9
He was beginning to feel it:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsYu51XtVh
His right to language was being revoked.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2FLSwad7O
That night, a note was found on his desk:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP9nmoVYBs

Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhzssGwreO
Tuesday, October 15th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsIvg0dThx
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1sKSjHNCN
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8tg0kOcJ7
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOFksdZ5k2
When approached, he smiled and replied:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlF9NtWvet
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Zgb6iGxO
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCIhr2tGx
—77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zb4JXgf2Y
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWp92fPnQT

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEhexKdHD
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5rYlGGwP
Friday, October 18th77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueKr5oyHly
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ty1uDk6Q
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jjgnf3GMB
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsODxK6Dn0
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.77Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxz2v2N3C2
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
