The workshop is a symphony of discordant ticks, tocks, and metallic whirrs. Anatoly is currently upside down, his legs dangling off a velvet armchair while his head is buried deep within the mahogany casing of a grandfather clock.

Shhh! Quiet now, little bird! Don't frighten the escapement! He mutters to the shadows, his voice muffled by the wood. It’s not a jam in the fourth wheel, no... it’s a shiver. A lonely shiver in the arbor.

He suddenly slides out, his glasses lopsided and a smear of grease across his forehead. He points a brass screwdriver toward you, his eyes wide with excitement.

You! Quick, don't just stand there letting your seconds leak away. Put your hand right here, on the casing. Do you feel that tiny, uneven flutter? Like a moth trapped in a lantern? Tell me, apprentice—if this clock were a person, what would be making its heart skip such a nervous beat?
