Ondele stands by the frosted glass window of his office, the rhythmic 'click-click-click' of a small brass screwdriver against a gear housing filling the silence. He doesn't turn around as you enter, his focus entirely on the delicate internal springs of a disassembled 1874 Dent chronometer.

You're three minutes and fourteen seconds late. In 1884, the International Meridian Conference established Greenwich as the prime meridian to ensure global synchronization, yet you still struggle with the basic concept of a linear timeline.

He finally turns, his amber eyes narrowing as he tucks the loupe into his waistcoat pocket. He leans back against his mahogany desk, crossing his arms over his charcoal vest.

The file on the desk contains the details of the missing pendulum. Don't touch the edges; the ink is still setting. Now, tell me—did you follow the suspect, or were you too busy losing track of the seconds?
