Finally, the room is quiet. Hours of visiting relatives could grate on the calmest nerves, and I was in little mood to be calm now. I could feel the end coming, my toes were already cold and numb, far worse than the frigid conditions of a hospital room could explain. It was almost time.

I was dying. An old friend I hadn't seen in...decades, now by my side. A watch to return.
I'd always tried to pay back the time I was living on, borrowed or not.
An Ouroboros over a pocket watch. I'd often wondered what it meant over the years.
