Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQZYXusKy6
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUVGVCWdrE
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDHX5crgPA
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQtAQsUb0A
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIHKhlTUqe

08:12.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXXpepB2a
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1uEEiUMv
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskAMGyuXu8
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqql1cRuF8g
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk90Plbzg9u
"Who changed it?!"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyFgODGVcY
No one knew what he meant.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPo0vG1UGx
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtvOH7DkAV
10:37.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOJLHKLGGj
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN784SFqLW
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMujKVjHuX
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheJWymKf3u
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYxGKZoOIU
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWM9mKiwzd
"What did you call me?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ATWpjRPY
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHviTfNTG5v
"Say it again. Say my name again."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQdPSDAIiu
Lin lowered his voice:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QqQTpWY2j
"…Yu Yong'an."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrnkjij4M5
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzb9mGHh8n
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYDVA900qm
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmWexXochz
12:20.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2OaYDRE4D
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw4ONakvEZ
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTaR4Vpxmy
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9zDfO6rb
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfWHDIYnDa
15:01.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1y0FNun2p
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRCoBjpm4G
He shouted:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBqC2apReq
"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!"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZNcRDDvs
The room fell silent.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj8XpcZvJO
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFd8QiL18K
"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…?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRET4VKzh6
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aDvS3QAjx
17:45.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLEvdpJPSE
They convinced him to return to the dorm.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq9DTOBkVU
As he left, he muttered:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ67uxe9rNc
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU011N0TvK
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yoFdLFin8
He whispered to himself:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Lpd3MiP0
"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…"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtPco1Li6
He never said who she was.No one knew.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5gpgJm03
But this room—was no longer his.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH5gmtCFRt
It had become a threshold between two worlds.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaOsPP3VS5

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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FWHHeMY6b
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnsu2xaP1v
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmuAutVYMq
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKwrewE6q

Tuesday, July 2nd162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9jHoHQFJ
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:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGeDqKw1kj
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEOjI6zqnT
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aBtbqQAzu
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCLGH9e2CH
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvQAIl7nrU
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRdBJY3fre
Friday, July 5th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKb3Af5sI
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NQ4Xtab9a
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg6DhX9QNN
He spoke in fractures:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ngnUqNWU
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8m9dJVUke
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQRqqW6MZf
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNs2gSWPJ6
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNUXORc7gu
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQs2Qjk1KQ
No date. No markings.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3gKA5iWkL
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbEqPn3WiC
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUyXa5A4H
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFsQ15SGhl
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7BsezTN9M
Tuesday, July 16th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bNhYLZfX2
He drew a map of a non-existent route—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv2YAs4Qb8
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t6oHz2dDL
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDstSq3hBu
They visited the location that afternoon.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F7OuS5N27
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocDJlw4OXp
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAFZjKTms
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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wT7wqMTtf
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKXtJ0dBLO
Friday, July 19th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4DxWc5h42
He no longer tried to explain himself.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22c8LR3QTf
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1FPMhDMNy
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJe3MWq4pc
He had once tried to resist.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTZOfsr8zO
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBahTBlObB
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaO2t5UfYB
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmXTouRa8
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOdH6zE0bu
Tuesday, August 6th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6otojLSjX
He hadn't spoken in a week.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCgcMsiIdL
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmRjKrGbVN
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkFiPDNAv
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKh3iFniAC
That morning, he found a note:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqB2zWl0kB
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL40eRoCasR
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvVqDxNvDU
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9zM88qdc
"She won't appear tomorrow."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes5qiJzgSC
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqywwyLJezu
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGwUENEQW
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglXa0dKiOB
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxHpIbIsjZ
Friday, August 9th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlQhkOidmN
He no longer walked—he glided.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJYDir2TFK
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7PAn9ozZg
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLtJXzp9s2
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ctscrhi8
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsz0wbpQfs
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8xOa6xfb
Chief Lin blinked:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDkdknDjEJ
"When have we ever come here together…?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibsEi7gkct
Zhang didn't turn around.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS1pvGqvJr
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUNHQWFlz
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalKjeDmL6s
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CFUf412HT
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxLXSbfcWA
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rJpBgHrU
He whispered:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeJQ5W7jWY
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6eQF2F7aJ
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgfybUDy7V
Tuesday, August 20th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX99JNK9cD
Rumors stirred at the precinct:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVluedvpaK
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLGHqFHaxO
That he filed visits to the already-dead.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmoQJqKzxF
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b5fkLGTmd
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGv0swnGL
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohNrVNHUsZ
He left a note on his schedule:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGvQAuO2HU
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2YIiutHWz
Friday, August 23rd162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmliy2XUfF
His voice began to change.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQib4f1aJEv
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm2jqhhbCh
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1YhAlpliY
"…Who just spoke that line?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MYS4tyKga
Zhang replied:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZK39PAdF8
"I didn't say anything."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpibUCizBCr
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMUiUhca0E
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLolMr41CZB
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9sEU9zQti
He wrote that in his journal.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dKqMQXydA
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PulbaBn9f
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlFi6efmM
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDxhqkGEGg
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBpgzpAJ36

Tuesday, September 3rd162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxh7uDD4uO
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPok9NCugx
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwlshT0AjZ
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy5JMRdw7u
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t0brv6OiY
All he said was:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVKB2OqSL
"I need silence."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlj4rdkfVF
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqfVDdkqWC
Friday, September 6th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80DR0TNWy7
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SATvn1NxF
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ggzESiWD
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXArpzcEja
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbwuM1grm
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9sSmvEgWH
It was as if the system itself had written it.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3QajCJ5Jk
Chief Lin murmured later:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUMC5M6TJt
"He's not here…but he's still here."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZnI4Bkt2i
Tuesday, September 17th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRUqqgSiIT
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ3e4NFGLS
• 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"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7FPsq87XU
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt4m4a9jLF
Witnesses said:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBkhag7nr5
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgukbvt6Qx
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuQSwtB74K
Friday, September 20th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoG78hp79f
Day 27 of leave.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtEuc0UoS8
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvo2mfZi8l
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.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYmCCrSTyU
He wrote:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPKy1aTib
"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."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqcJrzydSc
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nDK0jTbMz
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngxGQEPeIA
"This isn't leave. This is exile."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t1PXrfYP9
Tuesday, October 1st162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvswNpCWXc
There was no record of him anywhere.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFyzDNm5K
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdHDpqFA49
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNWgcohIy
Even his phone signal stalled at:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDx56scl1y
September 30th, 23:59162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bMNGWbB6b
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7VD6sFpA4
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkB6Mn4uvb
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtyT1imgC0
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCmOPFnhk
October 1st, 2025162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvezRWpd4CG
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTRSK8tWiX
Friday, October 4th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jvueYtgJh
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMbICVHp5a
Someone asked:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrDYAOe0Os
"Where have you been?"162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLxI2HUznp
He replied:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4NPk6dvXC
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2PcM6UZyj
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7G4k5lWDH
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51jwy0nVH
He was beginning to feel it:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1vizLtG6h
His right to language was being revoked.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J8eefg8Em
That night, a note was found on his desk:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e9gFR4Dxz
[2024/10/04]162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieK3PPB9nY
High overlap in memory today.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowTUPSSSii
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qkTMy2su

Both memories complete. No gaps.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNs2CqP6tf
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1KhJRzI5T
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjw1JAameE
Tuesday, October 15th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO1WQ2Bhh4
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzvg6K7I8b
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XHtCYVpL1
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLOycZrduD
When approached, he smiled and replied:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3abAkYJPS
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEA9iv5bGk
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99JYV1euL2
—162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89yyu12jme
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD96qGcKXgK

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNyKOJBf3P
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMaIob44v
Friday, October 18th162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmqSqM3JdB
