Clock
Tick tock, tick tock…
"Sabata, look! That grandfather clock used to be the center of the household!"
"Hn."
Tick tock, tick tock…
Django and Sabata had found the old, battered grandfather clock while exploring the ruins of the area surrounding San Miguel. Together, with a bit of luck, they managed to haul it back to the city without dropping it too badly. Django begged his brother to help him fix it and Sabata promised when he came back. Yet he never did.
Tick tock, tick tock…
In the end, Django fixed the ancient machine by himself and watched the faded gold pendulum swing side to side.
Tick tock, tick tock…
Sabata's time came early during the fight with Vanargandr. The slow moving hands on the chipped face was a cruel reminder.
Tick tock, tick tock…

Tick tock, tick…
Smith found the Solar Boy crying in front of the smashed grandfather clock.
So I haven't written in a while. My excuse is… Paradisa.
