(Lance’s POV)

The pendulum swings. Such a pretty little golden ball, isn’t it?

It just won’t stop ticking.

If this blasted clock weren’t a present from Red, I would have thrown it out long ago.

I don’t like cuckoo clocks. I don’t!

But… but he has such a nice smile, and it was worth it to accept this just to see it again…. Because it’s the thought that counts and not the gift, isn’t it?

Tick. Tock.

What’s this?

No. It can’t be. You’re lying to me! He can’t be dead! Red can’t die!

Can’t be…

I’ll kill you.

Tick Tock.
