Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IoHFmG8hE
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1BcOwxZ0
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUWeCYmpLP
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7FNtQebBZ
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ow0CbnTMm

08:12.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYgRwx2xd
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaaHzxIaSA
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirV88bQ4tM
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMxYEZJuoa
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vFXa1yWD
"Who changed it?!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnP5uUyU9I
No one knew what he meant.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA80ZivHi1
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I5Ernu8ax
10:37.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlOgYQinw
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2OOL7VCNh
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbZ78eee7H
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsZ5ENljRy
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3YCmlWjj
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TyAwWhU32
"What did you call me?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSodTh3L0M
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ybfMW26gI
"Say it again. Say my name again."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWG4DvIIt5
Lin lowered his voice:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWc9vNwVTG
"…Yu Yong'an."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvO7nHTeU6
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhJkiw0HHB
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUIBPcfjrW
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mQC1409G
12:20.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCPAv2qtSs
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp5R3hpitQ
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOeIQm7ana
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn4AI9b9MT
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuEd5mQ9ZZ
15:01.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNW0lHhFk9
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLb3XDVOYT
He shouted:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBXyBXulY
"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!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAizvsl78vj
The room fell silent.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxY2XZIV6T
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKfWgSLYgd
"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…?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPAWwE7IRl
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBu2JoyGDj
17:45.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnaVURCBCF
They convinced him to return to the dorm.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxPV1VybS1
As he left, he muttered:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoVwWjWJHB
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OR4TlDwG
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybl1347ztt
He whispered to himself:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vU20Xbgqo
"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…"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX2RSHfZtM
He never said who she was.No one knew.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMozlrPBNm
But this room—was no longer his.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSc7cVC2je
It had become a threshold between two worlds.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejAnGBtiS

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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoqyQC81hJ
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1V3EkBglJ
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB8sOHvPg1
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29ls5Ugm2

Tuesday, July 2nd10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtriiLUoNYH
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:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCuWu37t41
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkkyHZCAQx
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrZJ6JUi7
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWumN9S91B
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQZI5huPRj
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0kAk46zFU
Friday, July 5th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxC9WdC2qU
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lXmQOsSMm
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJLqyyIfGD
He spoke in fractures:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50kN8f0jw
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn7VV4PUp6
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m4LgUz47m
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBuKt7pLvr
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW8QfWeAJd
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vYDaJUMHM
No date. No markings.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1e7yOEHv4
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixZ2sX7Rh
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2jkNH27p
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3JZAe4KWR
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgLYtiki0T
Tuesday, July 16th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOcvzHZKUS
He drew a map of a non-existent route—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmyi5lAQqq
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJioW3w3G0
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwvoOG8Mb
They visited the location that afternoon.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JStTIURZI
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAV1L8dYdi
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRbpSge4JD

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfLI33QlNW
Friday, July 19th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECGoUOpkOD
He no longer tried to explain himself.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnekwIp1Pw
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOuSE1fb73
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSL67yNQrs
He had once tried to resist.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcpWSINBAK
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxoZreJTfa
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFKD2xr0uQ
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02K4mjJZq
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb06ie8fgq
Tuesday, August 6th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8kJhqvpS6
He hadn't spoken in a week.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdq2rooRPo
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bsA3EfChr
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv36uGtO12
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBSoNKVzSr
That morning, he found a note:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjCwYiGJB
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRclQo4MBOv
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJIswp0hYF
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLrjjWKBCK
"She won't appear tomorrow."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp0r3dYHJg
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Jv07CqUQ
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yyKXAYu7H
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEzI28DmQ
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiUIEk740Y
Friday, August 9th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqjxVCdVko
He no longer walked—he glided.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68DQyveGDA
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2i9DW0uzn
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUu20PN53
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGZzJ5nuc5
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKF2vRQ3jc
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGZppDiKG
Chief Lin blinked:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6upUkUQzY
"When have we ever come here together…?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdBXbCAlPM
Zhang didn't turn around.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjJUjBPj0
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHnRXExrLG
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U4YhaJbV4
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVQxsgxTs1
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HjUQjKrNL
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJzTn3e0Qt
He whispered:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ88OE7mrd5
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC4SHY1fUq
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vyRQtX7z9
Tuesday, August 20th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6by8JwM66q
Rumors stirred at the precinct:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IRmG8eKzs
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m9rKSNNbO
That he filed visits to the already-dead.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUV7kDkXp0
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29C2hMqZL
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ywXKGPrO
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3MIRYVDGF
He left a note on his schedule:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM0Za2Uydr
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbdOPbyUfd
Friday, August 23rd10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFtKWbxLe
His voice began to change.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ195eI2x0s
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSUiMXe4In
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjtThZFS4
"…Who just spoke that line?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNRMw54D2q
Zhang replied:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93MMkqOG6U
"I didn't say anything."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTmO7jfQjv
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5EML57jqD
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtM8B78dq
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSegwqQRM
He wrote that in his journal.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82pIUaHpb
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGTiiGbRUh
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI3QdFObCO
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZdVxrU1dH
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqirQ0JnaGF

Tuesday, September 3rd10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDOjdAZ3m1
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq23vZLRYjV
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A99hWn7nA
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji70wNL30t
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhOmZUyEo
All he said was:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNzXaDTDe
"I need silence."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDe5vnHemq
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYJtIYFw9
Friday, September 6th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyC6PEUx0b
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrVPtENqBn
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOXjM0udS
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWTAoPKzoZ
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7j3WlQmoq
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9kSs0BcJ
It was as if the system itself had written it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJpMsCE45Z
Chief Lin murmured later:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9mAeLVDXM
"He's not here…but he's still here."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXqYN2TJpx
Tuesday, September 17th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2EC04lyOZ
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7hnL9pQD
• 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"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHRODRUPEp
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE6fv1cK4t
Witnesses said:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyTtZljjPB
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX5zIDjku5
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd62b6EqAv
Friday, September 20th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWkzpgLplV
Day 27 of leave.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MpzPT2p7F
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrNyPoRFeM
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZIaOxUGkW
He wrote:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIxMOHCbgY
"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."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr02MkFeYw
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbCDrFYK3E
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs3ZOBWJdU
"This isn't leave. This is exile."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUAKkWrzZT
Tuesday, October 1st10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhJ842HxJ
There was no record of him anywhere.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjKN58h5PR
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgm64ox74Q
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42gVB6XaxU
Even his phone signal stalled at:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgLywzMUMI
September 30th, 23:5910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtOze6E5bs
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7yCeO9f1o
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINy1IDnsRd
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZePg1pVI
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYRMG77pRO
October 1st, 202510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbagUrm3y9r
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPT28nfYzK
Friday, October 4th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHOYkT3CM
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5dVqC0SkL
Someone asked:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS18DzsxX0
"Where have you been?"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDED5FErlL
He replied:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVK1OTI87H
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcpTlXORYt
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSk93Q2Ln
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfWVe36nOI
He was beginning to feel it:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58M8NjMMk3
His right to language was being revoked.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytVnT7as7v
That night, a note was found on his desk:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v2SqaTROm

Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLB3YZumnU
Tuesday, October 15th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hGwb7V4m8
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUaPG4m7rP
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDJQp41WAW
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQzTTK78a
When approached, he smiled and replied:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOdlXTD296
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQHbL4E4Ru
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnePj7U0il
—10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDDUiIIGGk
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZedaXbx9

Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlShQePQ7T
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYs67bgVMx
Friday, October 18th10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEyEimPhdg
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5RQYznPtj
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkt1hqsjCu
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwkEWZmIaI
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ef40YgJPU
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
