Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnT2AHunp3
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.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoF5iM8fCE
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef9c5Ubn0s
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOleCzUTeL
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.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbBrw9uZ0Y
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH7LdVOiND
08:12.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay1QHVhdlb
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.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IPw7P3ryd
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBdZM7iqkm
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTkvqaOFNp
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpK9Krk9A0
"Who changed it?!"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GJ7v9K5YS
No one knew what he meant.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfUkHSVueH
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl20DszC8qw
10:37.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqj4OE5zoj
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbyodY5pbb
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSYWF1h3R6
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh7AC4l78N
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYG4etOWRA
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMZvWMbK7D
"What did you call me?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgW3UW4vIq
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHHE5QFhc
"Say it again. Say my name again."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe292xxlJk
Lin lowered his voice:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHhVkhvMc4
"…Yu Yong'an."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamYH1ilKB
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMXjsxgAiV
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1Gvnyr0A
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHNCYD18Yb
12:20.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmbUFBdH1V
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabv8frKw1
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OhlMHbM52
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnQVvoEnC
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlEklq3GeP
15:01.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphsHjxEVDe
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmYfFdZKS8
He shouted:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqH54piys
"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!"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HpucgG8Rp
The room fell silent.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82vDE3Qrva
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8WKDkDCd3
"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…?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY69uupsdZx
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClZCObivZv
17:45.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL05kriIhFU
They convinced him to return to the dorm.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw13SKMSDw
As he left, he muttered:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM70pCErQxa
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lZhaECb0X
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnlg6S4gb
He whispered to himself:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc98dSNN2Uh
"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…"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvG5iNqRX5
He never said who she was.No one knew.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dzUnV9tmm
But this room—was no longer his.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwzFzrxY8A
It had become a threshold between two worlds.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM9g8Wi95c

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.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx28dLi4Wiq
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwlv7N4S98
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYVvXiM9N0
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVksbpgq4F

Tuesday, July 2nd160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiMpwG8wt4
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:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdhLdrDEz
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPbQcfzBY
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AlckILxbX
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjZO11E5Az
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW5THiO7ww
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GthmSWOK9
Friday, July 5th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUWwTty7d
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIffMFqDAA
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYECuQRrPP
He spoke in fractures:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhCmLn5NM
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtXUkXc5q
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNRs8UNMcr
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYL1zWPIJY
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78u3BftD0
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdgJ4XVtlx
No date. No markings.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JxgegZAoe
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1sKHwAHdH
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZv5b7ouFS
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR1mGuc2cd
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLOQNDD2zw
Tuesday, July 16th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYJpegKov
He drew a map of a non-existent route—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCBlspPu5L
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL6vJoEyJz
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCOa5HiAjA
They visited the location that afternoon.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr6mLXKS9K
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGunmIe0s
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqtUnYU4O
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."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4L4IgJc0w
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy10iuHVbkP
Friday, July 19th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA2PbkpewX
He no longer tried to explain himself.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XlrGi8drZ
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcadHgGBIw
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Kx3M61FF
He had once tried to resist.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9MPvpvWOK
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQEWCFurKk
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWCZzaXGbB
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfImeW1OOx
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gu3qQZwEI
Tuesday, August 6th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zbw213nTO
He hadn't spoken in a week.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftSt1XG8AK
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji7yD6KgcO
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtbjDd6Zkq
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7k8ob19M
That morning, he found a note:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUoMr1M2LE
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAyQfWv7ju
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPVWTMqF53
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WkCZiv2sw
"She won't appear tomorrow."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTnzU8gmRB
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8zcgdxkcU
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhrEuaUF4a
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmM0lYpREV
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwQn6ydCri
Friday, August 9th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbHQ8TcHto
He no longer walked—he glided.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiAXZPFpAX
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoNb2Wepp9
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlPQznOKnO
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneSMOZWEn8
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJCH1hPCJf
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9DdkplkvT
Chief Lin blinked:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIPzH9Jkld
"When have we ever come here together…?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3bzYM4rxE
Zhang didn't turn around.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQRZD7nfMA
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4voTSAQn
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCpsH4xqPV
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmAHnuLrGr
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4QpSbAHfF
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2SSZtB0p5
He whispered:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKZQvEnZJU
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUrspqiid
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ919OtZ5yJi
Tuesday, August 20th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t3wjuS3CB
Rumors stirred at the precinct:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjLDP6xxQq
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2WhetMqrC
That he filed visits to the already-dead.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSHTKAVRU
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsB01gc5jq
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiOcAGzPRh
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDZwKeEzD
He left a note on his schedule:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onGinqHtg
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5JhSv0Qe
Friday, August 23rd160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhIMKZA9FS
His voice began to change.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2LclD7r7
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXlsdJ5fVr
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlKSny4EWa
"…Who just spoke that line?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4KFo8p7v
Zhang replied:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3bYaHX7kB
"I didn't say anything."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0SnN1RSXj
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmkwEq1OOl
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5VjUyFjCe
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCfaWZfj8Q
He wrote that in his journal.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxJchuIfMR
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEtmINOFT
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzCWBPBt6
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLVfPLkBo5
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjky85ibQHn

Tuesday, September 3rd160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k1KEOMltZ
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44cRJmX37M
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT38AvpnLSj
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBOTYQ4Jm2
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wZw7WYpeT
All he said was:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMkcKokobp
"I need silence."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ddb27fkX3
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWovG7HMNc
Friday, September 6th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDs9773nGC
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvgH4P2O36
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ILa5SRcIC
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BmC0FVqUV
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayN7loXbX9
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spcwziHWg
It was as if the system itself had written it.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLwKqlzGYy
Chief Lin murmured later:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNB4aVNhx7
"He's not here…but he's still here."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KAlMZLl0A
Tuesday, September 17th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUaB4Gimqk
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG9iZZF4cm
• 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"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazIFH1HasX
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPiiYvkOlt
Witnesses said:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzrBlI8DRP
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBw1VxdSST
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV8RRi6gei
Friday, September 20th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaasfTGbmeS
Day 27 of leave.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91oZKJVd1N
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvUSxHZ9l
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.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpXIIYudp
He wrote:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILt7PTaVeW
"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."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQdYh8XW7
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAGz6n6SlG
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE31Yr7miRb
"This isn't leave. This is exile."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1jh6jc1E
Tuesday, October 1st160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2poZnkgUfs
There was no record of him anywhere.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq5vslJCsb
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoyOmXAAdu
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgpQjAxHdt
Even his phone signal stalled at:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLGK5UIFlg
September 30th, 23:59160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoR2E0jQfO
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPBExzOIqM
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Ji8hPU5k
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYN8AJhSAo
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8mijtAONH
October 1st, 2025160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9mdtz1KfV
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIoMc6RTfp
Friday, October 4th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE70vEcZoB
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZtyvtcQpO
Someone asked:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbVPpRKipA
"Where have you been?"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJOsrpuIGd
He replied:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HWaCd7beh
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmPavtaMhV
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwngqJRHI
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6UDe2EjUj
He was beginning to feel it:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6YBVcsOVG
His right to language was being revoked.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjqsVgFiea
That night, a note was found on his desk:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6GP713N3g

Tuesday, October 15th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8Kjg1I4s
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltuZz4QcIq
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGu6asHis
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24iJ0OJF5
When approached, he smiled and replied:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ujv5Q1wxT
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8gfrtPYY
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM7Dq5x4Ri
—160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn916sAbg7
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZQpyjBHTB

If we meet again,neither of us will survive.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUekfOQOc9M
Friday, October 18th160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6mQl5XsDO
