He and the Λ superparticle 4685 were born on the same midnight. Not only were their birth locations very close, but their trajectories in motion were also exceedingly similar.
Therefore, all along—
He was considered to be 4685's companion particle, thus named 4396.
But as time passed—
The particles near 4396 suddenly discovered something:
4396 could approach any particle and become a companion to any of them, yet could never actually make physical contact with any particle.
At first—
4396 was thought to be a tauon, that is, a τ neutrino.
But soon, this judgment was overturned:
Because all phenotypic features of 4396 were superparticle-like, there were no identical particles, and its quantum state could be counted.
Later on—
Another strange phenomenon was discovered:
4396's mode of movement was not quantum leap, but teleportation!
This concept might be better understood through an analogy in the macroscopic world:
