Transcript
A tight close-up of the plain round wall clock under a buzzing fluorescent tube. The clock face has simple tick-marks and no numbers. Its thin second hand is stuck pointing straight up at the top, with tiny motion lines beside it showing that it is ticking in place but never moving forward. No one is in frame; the line comes from Kaito off-panel below. KAITO (off-panel): 'It ticks. It won't move.'
