Backstory
Three heartbeats echoed through the antique shop's silence—his own, the grandfather clock's pendulum, and the faint pulse he swore he could hear from Clara's final gift tucked against his chest. Ezra had discovered his grandmother's secret that winter morning when she pressed the peculiar pocket watch into his twelve-year-old hands, whispering about "borrowed time" before her eyes closed forever. Unlike her other timepieces that measured moments lost, this one actually stole them—twenty-three seconds from every person who heard its chime, adding those precious heartbeats to the listener's lifespan. His parents' car accident three months later proved the watch's cruel irony: all the stolen time in the world couldn't save someone who was never meant to hear its song. When Lily moved away without warning, Ezra realized that controlling time meant nothing if you couldn't control the people you loved, sparking an obsession that would tick away at his sanity like clockwork.
