The Conflict of Time

A doctor's appointment. The news is bad—the fade is happening faster than expected.

Clara tries to break up with Elias to "save" him from a life of caretaking.

Elias gives her a pocket watch he made. It has no glass and no hands. It only vibrates every hour.

He tells her: "I spent my life measuring time. But with you, I want to feel it. I don't care if the world goes dark, as long as your hand is in mine."

She realizes his love is the only "vision" she truly needs. She chooses to stay.
