Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mmQM3zhL2
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBLwGUFtgU
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOySl3YAcf
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0htzHjIq5
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU737PSaIT
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcLDneNDuC
08:12.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEqlVAnj5z
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxkohLtokT
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkE5nZIiU
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErG6TDJeOf
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykga8UlCLb
"Who changed it?!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmOAEM8VJC
No one knew what he meant.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM55VRdWFs7
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy53vsX7QJ
10:37.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnUib9DMHp
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzMI0l9jG
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvG5HvV2jH
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvAFCm3P1C
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qVSXC2Hil
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nzVGIeVLO
"What did you call me?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kjk0XfFad
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMaZraWiOH
"Say it again. Say my name again."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiFulqRn2y
Lin lowered his voice:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXsJz2OQpo
"…Yu Yong'an."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw0q8u5muU
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlkvY5IbBV
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzDc0xwZ5u
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4KsJXlI9
12:20.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUdduK57lL
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2oy9jNpb
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx69vXs1Gof
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgwzZzCmhv
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5f5HLmlP
15:01.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHNz2Z4SLr
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMefFc4KSb
He shouted:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZQi18O29
"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!"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKbPMaZK8t
The room fell silent.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M2Wh3TzmP
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0lOgU8eM2
"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…?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUGpM5D5Go
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaVlYbVsBE
17:45.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9katCWCCS
They convinced him to return to the dorm.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBuK73MbE
As he left, he muttered:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZfjiWCvvJ
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59fKFghH5y
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2IW38usA6
He whispered to himself:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqFZoAdpYI
"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…"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUE9vgw1Ut
He never said who she was.No one knew.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3v6FdbNwK
But this room—was no longer his.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPdIPoGVcK
It had become a threshold between two worlds.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqRan4uUyX

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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0DY9UvQC
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvLH0fpw7
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSRDliMWQ0
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg56yYGGBv

Tuesday, July 2nd129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe098uGObg
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:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYzC7Rq7tk
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ287T1MBkfo
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpPgA3kcbl
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczuNHifwzo
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLwkGF5Fhz
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroWCmKyYyz
Friday, July 5th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV4DnGcaWE
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn03LwonZ8u
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqWzn1Vrfv
He spoke in fractures:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HmetV2Fv7
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV184DMJhZ
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnu9jzxxOo
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJgKIIJDX
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7UA4o0kIK
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1TV9L9c8P
No date. No markings.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUo9luqkxX
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxpnnKI2fI
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKprfX9BW
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8lRBLc9v
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5BCu1UBW5
Tuesday, July 16th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxaO3u74H
He drew a map of a non-existent route—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzwm5LjVN5
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv2rIW5OeG
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fHXuLrgm
They visited the location that afternoon.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLH4CblouT
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBz8gp3y3G
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVoQiBKE4D
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."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yb110Knej
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRVjMWkHx5
Friday, July 19th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkPZE3cdgf
He no longer tried to explain himself.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwqIayFkcg
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLYz5KqFXS
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgrtOa8rCP
He had once tried to resist.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcBXNCenqa
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3CqqF6oyM
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8wQoJOAvD
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDEn4SOZvF
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxiKhLLs3Z
Tuesday, August 6th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVb6UPOvpj
He hadn't spoken in a week.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuagQA0Vi2
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24X4By0mK7
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N9qu8P861
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2Ce5zqwJ
That morning, he found a note:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBBImnXWTX
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG6ZSx917G
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPAfGRPTB9
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WRHZP1Fy
"She won't appear tomorrow."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss9oj7Bb6E
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGANcAteGui
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSrAhHVtnr
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ13JUAwZGG
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHkjdqrKhg
Friday, August 9th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhKCvivcCm
He no longer walked—he glided.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91QkRWu31E
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCbzPHEu5t
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ0SwVvwM6
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvIqqSM2BM
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJBpHIQ4tL
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyvlPk54p
Chief Lin blinked:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUrPR4BV11
"When have we ever come here together…?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgnBEUMiPL
Zhang didn't turn around.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULeOLkt8Vc
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRKV06SS4C
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGOXseu414
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXNrfYDRW
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHFpdiz4fq
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUpjYMsxfD
He whispered:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmznCOzFza
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UPc8TOLUD
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI720a9Qk9
Tuesday, August 20th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogR4b655nV
Rumors stirred at the precinct:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadF7vZ4PTd
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEOWRg1vFo
That he filed visits to the already-dead.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMifsqkoq1
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGKY2UJ2L6
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP80JDs2DvD
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz3WBYNXwt
He left a note on his schedule:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllEwbsvQ7G
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTx7pICqb
Friday, August 23rd129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLkShdCKMp
His voice began to change.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfx2OAD8C3
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSIoy7LLkc
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC6Hi5CgPh
"…Who just spoke that line?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebijW5hRPy
Zhang replied:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHqtCO1a4h
"I didn't say anything."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojKx80JUM
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4gaWhJLh
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXmzrw2o9
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtjbjmBWOt
He wrote that in his journal.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY1RFIyEdv
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7koklc3PzJ
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisB8AzZa3
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkddFhfBPi
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdXZwfy4I

Tuesday, September 3rd129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXeDCJx2u4
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrKcUuBqJ
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksCMCez0BN
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5TmZ96gTs
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXKfpd4eCo
All he said was:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV5gELtntD
"I need silence."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vprcssn0l
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMqumtxpMw
Friday, September 6th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSa6Z8eqs
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZqjray9A
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28j1jhLuWf
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcrk6ByVTa
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJEqNJRc5B
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg42m0P3Stm
It was as if the system itself had written it.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx6FYKOgO3
Chief Lin murmured later:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOv5qnHFzI
"He's not here…but he's still here."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWofV48ZwN
Tuesday, September 17th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBin6M3Fbw
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTqGgZKtkl
• 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"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr4Tg6Omf7
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ0COTIYWP
Witnesses said:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98Zm3qkezq
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi1Qqg1J5h
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9FNUwEZn
Friday, September 20th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys2y7C3Dtl
Day 27 of leave.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufwGzzhBRX
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z9hqZbhjf
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.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IlgtZ69bI
He wrote:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyftaHwtYu
"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."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd5Gb3I7OW
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBChi1mJz
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmPajfFMMA
"This isn't leave. This is exile."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zi7vCWVu5
Tuesday, October 1st129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmtYTsRPPa
There was no record of him anywhere.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT1GhBwFmE
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHyrss1TL
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGM7apjahb
Even his phone signal stalled at:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWscLWNvrt
September 30th, 23:59129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevhbSUpF3Z
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3yNghMV2H
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgICb9OmNm
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qlEL2nkv
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv5kY2bY4x
October 1st, 2025129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01Y8A5YSw
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LrFaWKjJj
Friday, October 4th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAP7aBmHQk
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZSjFgxT96
Someone asked:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPBPcIyjt
"Where have you been?"129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlcRVLmPWA
He replied:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpppbufOpz
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck8ZvtoPgd
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYfmTr3d3h
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRiWcYG2fI
He was beginning to feel it:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QxTEB2gF2
His right to language was being revoked.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWFwvRSU9m
That night, a note was found on his desk:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Cqhy6bOL

Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP7y2sQ8qJ

Both memories complete. No gaps.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIxEQRS0mM
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPb1LJX5dA

Tuesday, October 15th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WrdlSyAHD
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Iki69dKx
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZUUsCzYns
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z7X1Hlisj
When approached, he smiled and replied:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2By1igrBm
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdCwZen3ig
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlA55lXwF1
—129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQgBgjbIQW
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWErwTvxL6P

Friday, October 18th129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RMJnPNqio
