Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosaCul5FNo
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpugqAiCxt
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4FV58Ygs
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78bylS2ZVp
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR7aq65xAQ

08:12.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs29on7o1N
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSmfA3KG7C
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrSPvP1QUf
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP6gTTbInC
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ohy2xVw8e
"Who changed it?!"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhcUosxPFe
No one knew what he meant.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEZexwdSxL

10:37.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgpBxBuZ5n
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4eL4l98Y
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsOsPUmBP
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJUAcv2Ytd
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOObf1iVW
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28oLWpWNtu
"What did you call me?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudzRRtQ00q
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZtgGOnOT7
"Say it again. Say my name again."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qPbXDkw96
Lin lowered his voice:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks66GbRgkf
"…Yu Yong'an."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ULMbV5hC2
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxeyH9p9Gm
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiqLSWw84T
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvRWTw2bxl
12:20.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPOI3KtQ8Q
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmSbhfbsk1
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxErN8BsaX
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OAVYK3SFo
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOtQRERqVU
15:01.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ21j0vR0I
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SYWOHBzG
He shouted:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVym7WWZ3FH
"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!"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjdZgylVTq
The room fell silent.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwRP5TFker
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip8EvUDCfg
"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…?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTk9eblCV8
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5flYokitHd
17:45.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSgdLArC1
They convinced him to return to the dorm.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxZ3dQNX9C
As he left, he muttered:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTklSPf0TZ
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7gN5ymHuv
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwyNA0HpDB
He whispered to himself:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgL0q32Gqb
"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…"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb7eFyClzE
He never said who she was.No one knew.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rXStUlIz
But this room—was no longer his.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLEuSM6e3
It had become a threshold between two worlds.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBjqTS37D6

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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgoZ68sXj1
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjABfmxcYb
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU20zO0zMZx
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvH5oPmrUx

Tuesday, July 2nd44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8sbLSEkYY
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:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiCnY1s6E3
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRStkIQdnZN
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQJjYtDAPI
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3srls78Hd
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK52YecUl8
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlwtLVI2c1
Friday, July 5th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1buSRlbtlk
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBHE9Gzo7z
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxEQxfGg1
He spoke in fractures:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5bWxA9VE
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIP01GiEVN
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk0CvUQPR6
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uScloJWIw
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvXCFH683
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiBfFCNhFC
No date. No markings.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1SP8IXIq
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZkIDWq1I
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPhDysCZs0
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNggNktC2V
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCzYDRQxa1
Tuesday, July 16th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0G0xDt8hv
He drew a map of a non-existent route—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSH3z9kyRO
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ3qWST57A
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfh9sCDdmY
They visited the location that afternoon.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2azPWXhz
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N0wgadV1t
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVO210Jxoo

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTCEF1Sa8
Friday, July 19th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpmQkB00bL
He no longer tried to explain himself.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLbP1M9bt
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntgeiMd0jv
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQoAW2Z7O
He had once tried to resist.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbkbSPBuxD
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiaeOAbGIh
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAaksv3f86
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJPoynQcAC
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2QIcNeePj
Tuesday, August 6th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs7bJSrvFs
He hadn't spoken in a week.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivvVHum3Uh
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdzspa9fkV
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtqAQ9QOuf
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J777dLNKN
That morning, he found a note:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ldGAFtQi
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLYz88LM3j
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fZckZcjZz
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHvRkI0L9o
"She won't appear tomorrow."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjr3E4ckNs
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Xk1LHRQ3
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhrIqewnNH
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRtXz5GktO
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SeL07FmyB
Friday, August 9th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35vQoe0ns6
He no longer walked—he glided.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtD71qmtM
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpzdJTItKv
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaKWbc3i9w
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBcoz550k8
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQJ8bA15n9
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vpfk1zGyj
Chief Lin blinked:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi9Gl4ddu5
"When have we ever come here together…?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfh3zelMwE
Zhang didn't turn around.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87OdetH7Lx
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwxe91GY0J
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiWRzueFUW
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ndkfCLNM
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPN3kCCSxl
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMyIm8PBnS
He whispered:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFFLf4fwZ
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTipaiOWNEy
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxS4y00NfB
Tuesday, August 20th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1TzBcuaYa
Rumors stirred at the precinct:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1vqs6fn13
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKJfWD6RTf
That he filed visits to the already-dead.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbUwlpyWqu
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9KLzolUPy
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXwPBBurQQ
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoII4XhB6hG
He left a note on his schedule:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxU4FNZbeg
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzvfl3ymIy
Friday, August 23rd44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfoBj5C7PE
His voice began to change.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh04tCwLJAk
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHj7ADYHON
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7PhSZfmOw
"…Who just spoke that line?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsKJUFDj8j
Zhang replied:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoiWMVb1b5
"I didn't say anything."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWWobwkID
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmRSzByLP
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pjzRfgkUj
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbDWQX6DMQ
He wrote that in his journal.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUV4TY9Ux
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jCgfGIZva
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVQxzldgz6
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJg617IUGi
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglAGezUFRR

Tuesday, September 3rd44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwzbldd2Ru
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabmMPLolF6
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ309q1iT66g
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGYneLAR1O
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiQxWPOJtu
All he said was:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBjJesFgW
"I need silence."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgApg0QSMy
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMXNOx7LKT
Friday, September 6th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaWPVwQKUr
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ufmT8G7JW
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPgvFQNSBB
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN5ktdyxuo
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvMV8j2U65
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41UVfPzxNK
It was as if the system itself had written it.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZjYxELfgw
Chief Lin murmured later:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo6nztcE0C
"He's not here…but he's still here."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpSkiGavpc
Tuesday, September 17th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1oh9xNdNe
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzc2j4mYH
• 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"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPGyZKgDTe
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhvAljRjMg
Witnesses said:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdErcvbPV
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgfMLGhgmY
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5MTGXI4n3
Friday, September 20th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MEGLPZ9nc
Day 27 of leave.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu7sBlhwkd
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QENCcDeea
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8NQg6gC7
He wrote:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7htTL5xsV
"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."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9ldDQe4w
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTXEDK85jY
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ztjA3xgLr
"This isn't leave. This is exile."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwMYKiqTi
Tuesday, October 1st44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T7WwFzWko
There was no record of him anywhere.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwObQVOfwI
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJW8L5bgTI
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXx4ZMMZr
Even his phone signal stalled at:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2XAZvSIo4
September 30th, 23:5944Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mSc0UOdAK
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywIJ56DTgu
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDs9AXK3P
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpm9d5n3Gw
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUtmSHhgWN
October 1st, 202544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLSPWBlLpj
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrsTbzeDG
Friday, October 4th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9F9mf0JUd
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFJCVNwwY
Someone asked:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGXhRQ0TJ
"Where have you been?"44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBVxJywEeV
He replied:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXg8nwkfjz
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUJ4oDEBM
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH3sQpNEWZ
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELu3WcBaJZ
He was beginning to feel it:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbPDejcsT
His right to language was being revoked.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOILL4CZfW
That night, a note was found on his desk:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJaB0VJs6t

Tuesday, October 15th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK0FG1TtPp
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7jV9gF9ZU
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgWSqQJM1R
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6cuMIqpaa
When approached, he smiled and replied:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07hp6D2GD6
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgRlrw19R8
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjY1DBN8Ik
—44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Ti3OmqHD
That night, his journal bore handwriting unmistakably not his:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmn8JNdQPK

Friday, October 18th44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkux3OHJqu
His leave was extended.Official reason: recurring spatiotemporal confusion.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVutOdSQUT
