A Promise In Four Fragments - As If Drunk, As If Bewitched : Me as Him

Reality Timeline · Friday, June 14th, 2024Zhang Huan-an / Disordered Actions, Unstable Speech, Fragmented Self153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVtnA98exX
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUvEGLsu1d
Scrawled in red ink, with jagged pressure:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhYmqUWMoT
"Today is your last chance to tell the truth."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx667Oy3rO
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYKmFChpd
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkROG4wv7I
08:12.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjnEhcdiE
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AA7bMG5za
Colleagues greeted him.He didn't respond—only muttered under breath:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhkRGDCYyN
"I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it. I didn't schedule it…"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRG4RGcyce
The duty roster dropped onto his desk.He suddenly barked:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmI0vZeJio
"Who changed it?!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwsmKIyPqp
No one knew what he meant.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdt5sJCfN
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcneG8TOGAE
10:37.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLHH4covO
Chief Lin approached to discuss coordination details.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ouIJ9Ysn
But Zhang's tone shifted the moment he saw him:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjLUo8HUvm
"You knew.You all knew from the beginning, didn't you?!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhH8DleTzN
Lin froze—solemn, silent.Then gently replied:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTjz09dmUG
"Xiao-Yu, we're all just—"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdDP6dZtef
"What did you call me?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhD953x5dA
Zhang lunged forward, eyes wild, nose nearly touching the Chief's.He searched his face like it held the answer to the universe.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsKOTI4gWA
"Say it again. Say my name again."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbevNepxj
Lin lowered his voice:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2utqsRJDmv
"…Yu Yong'an."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dygS75Mpo
Zhang stepped back as if struck.His lips quivered.A sound, more breath than meaning, escaped his throat:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV5ZRJBr4g
"…Then why do I still remember her name?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW66Zvta1c
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wZ3zzxwPc
12:20.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx1UcNQG2G
He refused lunch.Instead, he taped a note to the glass of his desk:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReMLzVakAL
[Do not trust today's date][Do not stand where there are shadows][If anyone asks what day it is—don't answer]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBADRx9v35y
Colleagues began to avoid him.In the breakroom, only whispers and sidelong glances remained.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfUCmbB34c
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyEvOpoy42
15:01.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkIu1lbeIV
He stormed into a meeting room, cut off an ongoing briefing,and pointed at the projector screen.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ICKDkl3D
He shouted:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFcEqSLIRa
"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!"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3viBkOrU
The room fell silent.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6DuTwdHsM
The moderator gently asked him to step out.He stayed, murmuring:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFIZwwnkIR
"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…?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysP38ogKo2
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidB0WvTQXL
17:45.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqwDk5BY6l
They convinced him to return to the dorm.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwN054Z5Bb
As he left, he muttered:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qH37VproC
"Next week they'll write me out.I'm just a backup—I'm not the official version…"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeNqr7HWxV
Back in his room, he spread out notebooks, duty logs, financial ledgers—not to organize,but to prove something.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6KrvrVga5
He whispered to himself:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN6vskKYuY
"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…"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXXinga7EL
He never said who she was.No one knew.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4hNA15ruS
But this room—was no longer his.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yb6OiqZF1
It had become a threshold between two worlds.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pfe60MZgk

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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl9HldGxFp
When did you go silent?Was it the day you decided to stop telling people:"I heard it"?153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wP8aNtdv9
Stop writing.The words will be replaced.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKV5Ex093j
Use memory.Use the misaligned pain.Use the cross from your dream.It remembers you.Don't forget it.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIqMnGlsO6

Tuesday, July 2nd153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ212epJqUVw
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:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioIyEn8nRZ
[You no longer need to write][Tuesday remembers on its own]153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwdeJnvawj
He didn't know who left it.Nor did he recall choosing not to write.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GViuf3YMX
Yet the pages remained blank—empty line after line,as if language had been erased for the month.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZFj8gpt4
He knew he was alive,but the world no longer communicated with him through logic or speech.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3SsZg0J57
It fed him images, sounds, instructions—directly into his body.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSn7x0X0n9
Friday, July 5th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFq0LhCh2Q
The precinct was silent.No one spoke to him directly anymore.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrACAzAp3E
His words were too disjointed.His gaze, misaligned.His tone—unstable.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcrtOqK5kS
He spoke in fractures:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJA3DIpz1M
"The case files, I… we've already handed them over."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnHxa2XrA
"If needed, I can explain directly… he's listening too."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbqBympVv
Colleagues couldn't tell who "we" referred to.Or who he was.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBMXgMYNQW
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE9Ra5gTlF
That afternoon, he pasted a grainy black-and-white photo onto the shift log.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKGUWW4SW
No date. No markings.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtorpsiKsa
It showed him, standing at the precinct gate—passing by another version of himself.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ap3C5UHp
The image was blurred, the focus off.But no one questioned its authenticity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Ce5CelSf
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkCiVYPbjQ
He had lost track of the date.Time had begun to reappear, looping rather than moving forward.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4v5CABCA
Tuesday, July 16th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcMyo3JQ69
He drew a map of a non-existent route—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBvxgP5PNf
from the precinct to Di'an Road,cutting into a dead-end alley off Qiyang Lane.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvBOLjO6RP
"We've been there before," he told his team,"just… not in this version of your timeline."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nwCh9VdMt
They visited the location that afternoon.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdHD4qOY9S
Nothing matched.No street numbers aligned.Even the power poles he had marked weren't there.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJfUABO2wZ
And yet—the incident log that day showed a report filed from that very alley.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOcJKxNQgj

The system's assigned handler wasn't Zhang Huan-an.It was Yu Yong'an.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBM8BCKqSc
Friday, July 19th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Fdd7dBCJ
He no longer tried to explain himself.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymt1wUw5dN
For every error, every misaligned memory, every reflected version of him seen through others' eyes—he responded only with a quiet sentence:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMiwj6QCs
"I know you don't recognize me anymore.That's okay.I'm starting not to recognize myself either."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMNslweEWu
He had once tried to resist.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h2Hxh5uZI
Now he followed the invisible track laid before him—like a sacred, strange ritual,each Tuesday and Friday folding him inward again.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6op9RLSAZ
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SiUWRlPT9
His notebook for that month repeated the same line:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmU6AeGNJg
"I no longer ask who I am—but when will he fully become me."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkVqYZtjg2
Tuesday, August 6th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzDC4EhZCd
He hadn't spoken in a week.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVO54StIgu
Not because he lost the ability—but because language had become untrustworthy.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjJzfRbZCX
He tried speaking into the mirror.His lips lagged behind.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1GiPwubW
Typing produced sentences he hadn't yet finished forming in thought.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84qAjEoAps
That morning, he found a note:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFosfS2Gyh
"Today, you will speak three sentences you didn't write.Record them.Or you will believe you were the author."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Yb0GbCut
He kept the note.Said nothing all day.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFew5v22cJ
Until 18:44, when he answered a colleague's question in the hallway:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pGztd56yE
"She won't appear tomorrow."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdelRuWs7O
He wasn't aware he had spoken.But everyone else paused in silence.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5EdlFVEID
The next day,a close colleague submitted a sudden transfer request.The date matched.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WAJ5Mye5h
It wasn't prophecy.It was projection.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOOvrWYYM
His language had begun to carry outcomes from other timelines.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VSSuRYnt
Friday, August 9th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30jsz92wT
He no longer walked—he glided.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOXJnltOp
Each turn, each stair, every doorway—he anticipated them.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp4qlDvdDW
Even people's appearances and words arrived like recorded loops.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lkFqhfkEo
His speech was no longer generated.It played—like tape.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkb6w8Gnr
He passed Chief Lin, and said calmly:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL29jT9oFV
"The last time you brought me here was five years ago."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbiZtliBx
Chief Lin blinked:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZmRbEwwem
"When have we ever come here together…?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ooss7VuXE
Zhang didn't turn around.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xJITapuVo
"Back then,you didn't know who 'I' was."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8z5YuH9s
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dUZIOnSXn
That night, he locked himself in his room.On the wall, he formed a symbol with tape:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbgDlHqigc
A cross within a cross,and in the center—numbers aligned to form a smaller cross:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaasQvl09eE
1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 7153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilfEpzGst
He whispered:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRwDnZVCq1
"This isn't a code.It's a time sequence.The last one he can still use my body to write."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze91K21ifo
"After August, I will vanish, piece by piece—every Friday."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7lmepmd12
Tuesday, August 20th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuMOeL4LWq
Rumors stirred at the precinct:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJCyPBWNKO
That Zhang Huan-an's case logs didn't match anyone else's.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRmBwiSZud
That he filed visits to the already-dead.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBTyyypJ9c
That he whispered the exact final words of deceased relativeswith perfect inflection.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGCf7zOyTC
That day, he had no fieldwork scheduled,but requested a shift anyway:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF85epjaV2
"I've already been there once.This time is to confirm the replay angle."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y07sKFNZh
He left a note on his schedule:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67WiX2inDb
"If I can see Yu Yong'an's memories ahead of time—does that mean I no longer belong to this timeline?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgkd6nv2m
Friday, August 23rd153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH6W3rfpRX
His voice began to change.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuctqpQy1vl
There was a resonance—as if another voice overlapped his own.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEVA3Ner16
That afternoon, a colleague paused mid-conversation and asked:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWNabeMLJ1
"…Who just spoke that line?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhtLDSUJjm
Zhang replied:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVqps7z96r
"I didn't say anything."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMPHST1hak
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P3TC6SeXI
He could only hold on to himself through scribbles and muttering.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2ceGaA67
"Today I'm Zhang.Tomorrow I may be Yu.The day after—we'll be us."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmazCrInX6
He wrote that in his journal.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bSONN1pPL
The language had lost its subject.The self was unraveling into shared identity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77oYDCgKP
—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF50Rm7dN7P
And for the entire month,he said only one sentencethat truly belonged to him:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosS3eMRKOk
"Please don't say my name—because you don't know who you're calling."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK6XcJeNB8

Tuesday, September 3rd153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3bFaQ4GhZ
He filed his first formal request for extended leave.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFlMTaRwTq
The reason: neurological fatigue and adaptive dissociation.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59udnTHJ5f
But within the precinct, whispers stirred:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRwyOGNWnZ
"He can't recognize the floors anymore.""I saw him speaking into the glass of the copier—like it was going to answer him."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddhaXvCe4
All he said was:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ17hwTKFN
"I need silence."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hiPB9oZky
But his silence was not rest.It was a temporary retreat from the touchpoints of this timeline.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoETc6oa6DO
Friday, September 6th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnSBuYATx
Though officially on leave,an internal message suddenly appeared in the precinct's system—sent from his account:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxxRcOKpgD
[Subject]: Friday Review Protocol153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiszQLSZj7
[Content]:・Not being present ≠ Not existing・Physical stillness ≠ Time suspension・Duplicate data ≠ Incorrect transmission153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTHRl6m0o
→ Do not delete any anomalous files→ Yu Yong'an (Zhang Huan-an) will continue to observe your responses153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b74t3M59L
The system auto-locked his account for six hours.IT couldn't trace the login.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlYcpzc0kh
It was as if the system itself had written it.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26ergSpe7
Chief Lin murmured later:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbucrVTSQJw
"He's not here…but he's still here."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PxRKWccLH
Tuesday, September 17th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkvLr4uzW1
Even during leave, he kept appearing—in quiet corners of the city:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatgpiNybHG
• 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"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMjFfc7OF
He never spoke. Just sat.Sometimes nodded, as if listening to something.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV044FWbXa
Witnesses said:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mvOHbOq8H
"He looked like he was waiting for someone.Smiled once—like the message had arrived."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZloddGKz74
But the one returning was never "him"—Only all the personas, memories, and voicesthat had once been displaced into his body.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTVrHIYggn
Friday, September 20th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC5I1aYI8u
Day 27 of leave.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcwU1Wprt3
His sense of embodiment began to dissolve.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1asPabgPg
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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOjTovkQnW
He wrote:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5RR1x5ouP
"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."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xomIJqX4I
He called this state:"The Observer Shell."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNLUc92z9
That month, he left only one note with any raw emotion:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlKMBGG4J
"This isn't leave. This is exile."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nKY1sM5We
Tuesday, October 1st153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrrZqhV6K7
There was no record of him anywhere.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkl3SZFGM
Not just absent from duty—he vanished from all systems:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMaswLYsL
No CCTV.No login logs.No GPS.No medical pings.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13xboeVUd3
Even his phone signal stalled at:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz92lzMDuLL
September 30th, 23:59153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ8IeJrAJH
But at 23:51, a shadowy figure flickered across the precinct's backdoor camera.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZPOEQL8xM
He wore a uniform.Moved exactly like Zhang Huan-an.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKFQfQjs8j
But his face—blurred.As if a veil of unfocusable time masked his features.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH6exdgSxm
The system flagged the footage as "outdated recording"—with a timestamp marked:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgCpwQ6ErZ
October 1st, 2025153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7zjolsojs
He appeared.But in a time that did not yet exist.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVzWCDaPzC
Friday, October 4th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWaLbcS7iH
He reappeared in the precinct hallway—civilian clothes, bloodshot eyes, notebook in hand.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86v1P57O97
Someone asked:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fqQePlYUF
"Where have you been?"153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6hm7xGY18
He replied:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt08U3mT9Ao
"I never left.You've only just caught up to the day I was already on."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kuL2oWA02
His tone—calm.Eyes unwavering.Every word sounded… rehearsed.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmNqaH3VB
But a second later, he stopped speaking—bit his lip, as if warned from inside.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWMkHAYigk
He was beginning to feel it:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHmUyrjNdA
His right to language was being revoked.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrmCbvjPXt
That night, a note was found on his desk:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPIGKlZkdp

Tuesday, October 15th153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smgOYhILG
He was spotted at Tamsui MRT Station.Blank stare. Civilian clothes.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbnA3jBBVP
At 5:40 AM, a civilian photographed him standing at a narrow alley by Sanmin Market,whispering to a peeling wall:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0w37njH5P
"The me from here should already be dead…but you're still speaking to me."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFcnvPX2n4
When approached, he smiled and replied:153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb9h0VJHfm
"You're a year too late.But that's not your fault."153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13DKMbvvNY
His words felt like a conversation—but the air held no answer.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys8HOOkQjk
