Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self28Please respect copyright.PENANAJVXc3nzRA3
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.28Please respect copyright.PENANABOIqif5lsj
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:28Please respect copyright.PENANATuXQZj35ox
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."28Please respect copyright.PENANAbVQdCPj9d4
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.28Please respect copyright.PENANAcGOEcQRY9x
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAQ29JTWyM7S
08:12.28Please respect copyright.PENANAohIdKu0fNc
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.28Please respect copyright.PENANAZa2J0sqXpO
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:28Please respect copyright.PENANAF1tMCQlQSf
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"28Please respect copyright.PENANAWSG8yNMkoc
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:28Please respect copyright.PENANAeaA9YsdRvj
"Who changed it?!"28Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Y014ztW9
No one knew what he meant.28Please respect copyright.PENANAYQRUA7zGRL
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAgneSn3ymbj
10:37.28Please respect copyright.PENANA8gmfdJFvQ2
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.28Please respect copyright.PENANAO00DqNFKkr
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:28Please respect copyright.PENANALykvk6huJT
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"28Please respect copyright.PENANAdTGdlVdfMn
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:28Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ImzUCwl0
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"28Please respect copyright.PENANAZi3SVMgwBE
"What did you call me?"28Please respect copyright.PENANApwWYIF46Fw
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.28Please respect copyright.PENANApvriN10YgP
"Say it again. Say my name again."28Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ZiSjXejA
Lin lowered his voice:28Please respect copyright.PENANAKyBIdalTVh
"…Yu Yong'an."28Please respect copyright.PENANAhNeISOvACT
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:28Please respect copyright.PENANA9lP11IntmZ
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"28Please respect copyright.PENANAs5y3EwPYBq
—28Please respect copyright.PENANA4ifJ86xFy1
12:20.28Please respect copyright.PENANAa9UIErt4KN
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:28Please respect copyright.PENANA86JqGfFA6K
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]28Please respect copyright.PENANAKFE2ZtxmN8
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.28Please respect copyright.PENANA0k68NO5Giu
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAZpPNf0ktbj
15:01.28Please respect copyright.PENANAcBTuSRR58Y
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.28Please respect copyright.PENANAolCr35TMKZ
He shouted:28Please respect copyright.PENANA895errzIZc
"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!"28Please respect copyright.PENANAzok0pJTKk8
The room fell silent.28Please respect copyright.PENANA1mtGtssPtO
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:28Please respect copyright.PENANAnEpcgyKp4b
"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…?"28Please respect copyright.PENANAGsMe9difOe
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAdLXlvQgwIm
17:45.28Please respect copyright.PENANAA7YK7rrmuW
They convinced him to return to the dorm.28Please respect copyright.PENANALnJubNwij2
As he left, he muttered:28Please respect copyright.PENANAvrbXexEcJr
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"28Please respect copyright.PENANAcfDxfkO3eP
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.28Please respect copyright.PENANAGBkxnjLL44
He whispered to himself:28Please respect copyright.PENANACWI3329063
"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…"28Please respect copyright.PENANArgQmrRWoF4
He never said who she was.No one knew.28Please respect copyright.PENANAfE7Awnx7Lo
But this room—was no longer his.28Please respect copyright.PENANAhShfrqLkHR
It had become a threshold between two worlds.28Please respect copyright.PENANARqYodgJJy8

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.28Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDfmrbO53
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?28Please respect copyright.PENANAoZRmZVPHWy
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.28Please respect copyright.PENANAbVqeCZaDlm
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.28Please respect copyright.PENANAGEaBwlR9AD

Tuesday, July 2nd28Please respect copyright.PENANA5IP9ipV7yh
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:28Please respect copyright.PENANAUxYVEhHBRB
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]28Please respect copyright.PENANAPjhiuVxIcJ
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.28Please respect copyright.PENANAuQjGMQTXMj
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.28Please respect copyright.PENANATAOE3Ddn8S
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.28Please respect copyright.PENANAiidrNvNvly
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.28Please respect copyright.PENANAi798myAHJp
Friday, July 5th28Please respect copyright.PENANANMpT2YakuW
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.28Please respect copyright.PENANAMOvpvd9UK7
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.28Please respect copyright.PENANAINXXymIbrK
He spoke in fractures:28Please respect copyright.PENANAGPIPCVm9Fe
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."28Please respect copyright.PENANADFuTplKTNC
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."28Please respect copyright.PENANA39dkIyNo26
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.28Please respect copyright.PENANA6gbnF6YPXN
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAEIkKi1JvJ0
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.28Please respect copyright.PENANAJwYQx5Ky6C
No date. No markings.28Please respect copyright.PENANAHasOkKNXSz
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.28Please respect copyright.PENANAGSKWHUpHFR
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.28Please respect copyright.PENANA02qOq04ftU
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAru9vhrg6k7
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.28Please respect copyright.PENANAuU0M2fjLdD
Tuesday, July 16th28Please respect copyright.PENANAOIsYxuyY8v
He drew a map of a non-existent route—28Please respect copyright.PENANA2q5rCA5jFE
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.28Please respect copyright.PENANAf37WE1J0Km
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."28Please respect copyright.PENANApBlDR6QcsC
They visited the location that afternoon.28Please respect copyright.PENANAV2mpRe6Hqq
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.28Please respect copyright.PENANABCj6vstpxv
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.28Please respect copyright.PENANArl3Wec1z0C
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."28Please respect copyright.PENANA5BM2Caspx7
The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.28Please respect copyright.PENANALdFlWuFl8k
Friday, July 19th28Please respect copyright.PENANAcR0dBHZctd
He no longer tried to explain himself.28Please respect copyright.PENANAbUi0Mv6zLM
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:28Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1KdC37qa1
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."28Please respect copyright.PENANAPGUtcgaZON
He had once tried to resist.28Please respect copyright.PENANA3xrBG1aN0K
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.28Please respect copyright.PENANAq2YGfqaFF9
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAMCGuft4IwR
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:28Please respect copyright.PENANAuDrzHheE6t
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."28Please respect copyright.PENANAMNpfOqrorK
Tuesday, August 6th28Please respect copyright.PENANA5OWbLZQu59
He hadn't spoken in a week.28Please respect copyright.PENANAm3uIXTr9if
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.28Please respect copyright.PENANA4XEHC7SQpj
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.28Please respect copyright.PENANAaZU0azvEZy
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.28Please respect copyright.PENANA12NQuK7R3Z
That morning, he found a note:28Please respect copyright.PENANACluRrk7Ibi
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."28Please respect copyright.PENANAyluWxLGrY7
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.28Please respect copyright.PENANAKxshFTrgNI
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:28Please respect copyright.PENANAL5LPKyUPRf
"She won't appear tomorrow."28Please respect copyright.PENANAnXB7FxH42U
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.28Please respect copyright.PENANA2OPULk3bCu
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.28Please respect copyright.PENANALgHGugE6Pr
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.28Please respect copyright.PENANAhlZdgTG4dp
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.28Please respect copyright.PENANA2hKw7TNmGU
Friday, August 9th28Please respect copyright.PENANAscSf4MDXpo
He no longer walked—he glided.28Please respect copyright.PENANAOzabtGhGr0
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.28Please respect copyright.PENANAeHS3Gd8Pm2
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.28Please respect copyright.PENANAk2HVLCxluW
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.28Please respect copyright.PENANAdjLkAGefJb
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:28Please respect copyright.PENANAAfQpa0l0lV
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."28Please respect copyright.PENANAJ37JOcqc61
Chief Lin blinked:28Please respect copyright.PENANAx6QSAUUZWm
"When have we ever come here together…?"28Please respect copyright.PENANArAa1bZYOzo
Zhang didn't turn around.28Please respect copyright.PENANA3kA6xKHutj
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."28Please respect copyright.PENANAQ92JmJxMuV
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAnVT9TNgSxC
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:28Please respect copyright.PENANA1usNKURmGX
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:28Please respect copyright.PENANANepPCYsslc
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 728Please respect copyright.PENANAxfqoRxsPEy
He whispered:28Please respect copyright.PENANADw8nmVehzw
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."28Please respect copyright.PENANANhSOyrpxdA
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."28Please respect copyright.PENANAL2PtwvT3rJ
Tuesday, August 20th28Please respect copyright.PENANAtcg26uobLU
Rumors stirred at the precinct:28Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvZIOEJ6Y
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.28Please respect copyright.PENANA3X4nd2RF3a
That he filed visits to the already-dead.28Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6bUV5B5gQ
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.28Please respect copyright.PENANAY00UZTu9lw
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:28Please respect copyright.PENANAL7yFpAamyU
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."28Please respect copyright.PENANAmH6sUTwlAE
He left a note on his schedule:28Please respect copyright.PENANAS3zmBgaFsD
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"28Please respect copyright.PENANAmIddgDorIY
Friday, August 23rd28Please respect copyright.PENANAzbSZqEWnH4
His voice began to change.28Please respect copyright.PENANASFvNFIv0ao
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.28Please respect copyright.PENANAEFYyVk5fm0
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:28Please respect copyright.PENANA1CgJWjL4Z4
"…Who just spoke that line?"28Please respect copyright.PENANAt32uhOphWo
Zhang replied:28Please respect copyright.PENANA7jVce0jFe7
"I didn't say anything."28Please respect copyright.PENANA5pdGhM9Pyp
—28Please respect copyright.PENANALr26ShL9q6
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.28Please respect copyright.PENANAT2Zo9cHazR
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."28Please respect copyright.PENANAUYzrJWVWj8
He wrote that in his journal.28Please respect copyright.PENANAIueCxvkgkP
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.28Please respect copyright.PENANAbVfNPAOpit
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAex5ZmoBzkR
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:28Please respect copyright.PENANAlQV7PAmS2I
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."28Please respect copyright.PENANAVI6Er1XwAD

Tuesday, September 3rd28Please respect copyright.PENANAP7JoW8CnmU
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.28Please respect copyright.PENANAO6OjIbLgYC
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.28Please respect copyright.PENANAFEUXBtgVZN
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:28Please respect copyright.PENANAakoBpoRt7a
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."28Please respect copyright.PENANAMclSUoRofj
All he said was:28Please respect copyright.PENANA6dy86XQyaz
"I need silence."28Please respect copyright.PENANAvggqVxvQGc
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.28Please respect copyright.PENANAEMEkPzNUAa
Friday, September 6th28Please respect copyright.PENANAK2hPdEVCws
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:28Please respect copyright.PENANAD4xEonHMSJ
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol28Please respect copyright.PENANA44wdMcdHLW
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission28Please respect copyright.PENANA94AARHhns7
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses28Please respect copyright.PENANAKX8sT405sb
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.28Please respect copyright.PENANAiRUc6ZQ1wY
It was as if the system itself had written it.28Please respect copyright.PENANA7JFra5oBqa
Chief Lin murmured later:28Please respect copyright.PENANAPfRaIvFwLZ
"He's not here…but he's still here."28Please respect copyright.PENANALERV5cLxT4
Tuesday, September 17th28Please respect copyright.PENANAMT1261DHBC
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:28Please respect copyright.PENANA1vHWvRgp3Z
• 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"28Please respect copyright.PENANAprnZfmdcYb
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.28Please respect copyright.PENANAascF7XPT6Y
Witnesses said:28Please respect copyright.PENANABOEzcILXzg
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."28Please respect copyright.PENANAbnECemnSZg
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.28Please respect copyright.PENANAHib5hjsGKi
Friday, September 20th28Please respect copyright.PENANAlcsnVxH0be
Day 27 of leave.28Please respect copyright.PENANAWSphWhPrgu
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.28Please respect copyright.PENANAGydTMoFjEC
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.28Please respect copyright.PENANA4fxUC36OyL
He wrote:28Please respect copyright.PENANAtIJvUmcoic
"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."28Please respect copyright.PENANASDyBDHWQ7m
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."28Please respect copyright.PENANApGthLC7ee7
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:28Please respect copyright.PENANA7wk5HhoSin
"This isn't leave. This is exile."28Please respect copyright.PENANA7rOeHix7u2
Tuesday, October 1st28Please respect copyright.PENANArOt2rtN14g
There was no record of him anywhere.28Please respect copyright.PENANA31z4Rlbwgu
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:28Please respect copyright.PENANAZYjywBbltO
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.28Please respect copyright.PENANAgHcmKWZtdr
Even his phone signal stalled at:28Please respect copyright.PENANAkdz3zSUSEp
September 30th, 23:5928Please respect copyright.PENANAg8O0wm69Mo
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.28Please respect copyright.PENANAKQM9NhAu3F
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.28Please respect copyright.PENANAdsve3fEkf0
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.28Please respect copyright.PENANAlSW1Nxj9tw
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:28Please respect copyright.PENANA7QDxXOHdre
October 1st, 202528Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Dh6DmumC
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.28Please respect copyright.PENANAkMelGTs3VC
Friday, October 4th28Please respect copyright.PENANA1BOP8u0IXf
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.28Please respect copyright.PENANAXm7EeBllYP
Someone asked:28Please respect copyright.PENANAtUnm3cNasV
"Where have you been?"28Please respect copyright.PENANA90gKnVkB5J
He replied:28Please respect copyright.PENANAApLiCBs1qV
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."28Please respect copyright.PENANAIGBbJA1wAt
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.28Please respect copyright.PENANA9MfdFrwmR3
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.28Please respect copyright.PENANAmwnZ4rZAZP
He was beginning to feel it:28Please respect copyright.PENANA3AoOtSr2PH
His right to language was being revoked.28Please respect copyright.PENANAf5DhIVVpLM
That night, a note was found on his desk:28Please respect copyright.PENANApForDIlbS6
[2024/10/04]28Please respect copyright.PENANArGs62KhEsz
High overlap in memory today.28Please respect copyright.PENANAttlYWES289
Morning: I conversed with Chief Lin in Xinan.28Please respect copyright.PENANAER5d1FaWKy
Afternoon: I was still in bed, unmoving.28Please respect copyright.PENANAI3etB9DFFW
Both memories complete. No gaps.28Please respect copyright.PENANAb4vNtqz56D
→ Assessment: dual consciousness syncing, not yet integrated→ Suspected "memory proxy" present—someone else experienced the event, but I can recall it with emotional precision28Please respect copyright.PENANAmGZusygANt
Annotation: "I didn't live this day, but I remember it."28Please respect copyright.PENANAq6PCaVZwqK
Tuesday, October 15th28Please respect copyright.PENANAa6RtTjkeEo
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.28Please respect copyright.PENANAWExwr960tm
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:28Please respect copyright.PENANArpFN65Q9hv
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."28Please respect copyright.PENANAfxs6jBpKHc
When approached, he smiled and replied:28Please respect copyright.PENANAzUJul4Zvht
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."28Please respect copyright.PENANAKsIqCKaQ7m
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.28Please respect copyright.PENANAr6UiFuaALi
—28Please respect copyright.PENANAlT2Uaj9ult
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:28Please respect copyright.PENANArRB815P1Bc
[Y.A.]28Please respect copyright.PENANACLRjNGgXlG
Zhang, if you're still here—stop trying to go back.We came from opposite ends.We can't both turn around.28Please respect copyright.PENANAEQVoNlYnrW
If we meet again,neither of us will survive.28Please respect copyright.PENANAdESASB3E2j
Friday, October 18th28Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ur5NQ1dGF
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.28Please respect copyright.PENANAUbcPMo1R6M
But that day, he appeared in a past assignment log:28Please respect copyright.PENANA26r32Kd7Rx
[Supplemental Entry]2024/06/14, FridayZhang Huan-an — Present at Longjing Migrant Factory Preliminary Review28Please respect copyright.PENANAy4PdcffIcE
But that day's photos clearly showed him in October's clothes—not the attire from June.28Please respect copyright.PENANAVk4P1dcRAM
Logs unsynced.Identity displaced.The system began to "remember" days he hadn't lived—and forget the ones he had.
