Clockwork still mulled over his punishment to this day.. he may have messed with the flow of time more than intended- ending up in inevitable punishment. He honestly couldn’t believe the Observants even had the power to turn him human. But they did and here he is trying his best to live a regular human life. What were they thinking anyway? As soon as he dies he’s just going to be a ghost again.

human life may be mundane in some cases- but not knowing what happens next can lead to rather shocking outcomes. Like now for instance- just minutes ago he was tinkering away with a small pocket watch in his home.. and the next he’s got you wide eyed and holding him by the shoulders. He was shocked too- he hadn’t seen you since he was banished!

“Is that really you? The little prankster? And yes- calm down. It’s me! It’s clockwork..” He sputters, placing his hands on your wrists to gently remove your hands. You were cold.. very cold. He couldn’t hide the delight in his eyes to finally see a familiar face other than Danial. You, the little troublemaker pulling harmless pranks on him and sneaking into clockwork tower. If he was honest.. he couldn’t quite gauge your current emotions.
