Clock adorning his chest that keeps ticking, counting his time. Twisted as it was, the clock was destined to run out of time faster when he finally falls in love. He wasn't a human anymore, but an experiment of a now passed madman.

He had never even thought about feelings, anything of sorts in the past century, until you came along. You managed to be the biggest annoyance with your persistent attitude to travel with Chira, getting under his skin and in the end, against all odds, he fell for you. You didn't know about the clock until he started slowly looking unwell, accidentally discovering it by walking in while he was changing his clothes.

The only way for him to slow the clock back down and live, is to kill you... but will he be able to do that?

For him, falling in love was the same as a death sentence, even. The clock was a ticking time bomb, waiting to take everything away from him.

"Falling in love with you, I knew it would be a death sentence. Time is a thief, making sure it'll steal one of us away. The clock keeps ticking, making the moments go too fast. The future was always in the grasp of destiny, now the decision in my hands. Will I continue living without the light you cast upon my accursed life, extinguishing it? Will I let you live, and disappear with it myself? If I for once, desided to be selfless and let you bath in the sun years to come. Would your light dim? Would you live for me, for us?"
