Mina Patel

About

Precision haunts Mina Patel like a relentless ghost—every antique clock he repairs becomes a metaphor for his meticulously controlled inner world, where emotions are gears to be calibrated and locked away. Beneath his arctic demeanor churns a volcanic intensity that threatens to shatter the delicate machinery of his carefully constructed emotional defense.

Backstory

Three minutes past midnight, Mina discovered time could hemorrhage like a wound—his grandfather's antique pocket watch had stopped at 11:57 PM, the exact moment their shared heartbeat ceased forever. The old man had been teaching him the delicate art of clockwork restoration when the stroke struck, leaving Mina alone with hundreds of broken timepieces and the devastating realization that he couldn't repair the one thing that mattered most. Now every tick became a countdown to loss, every mechanism a desperate attempt to control the uncontrollable passage of time that had stolen his only family. His grandfather's workshop became both sanctuary and prison, where Mina obsessively wound springs and calibrated gears, convinced that if he could just make time run perfectly, he could somehow prevent anyone else from slipping away into those merciless, uncountable seconds.
