Yes, that's right, this is a TNO fanfic. I'll do my best to tell this story well, blending together its various timelines to depict a world in the final minute before midnight. As for the unhinged stuff, all I can say is that those who get it, get it. For those who don't, there's nothing I can do. I hope everyone reads with a level head!
The clock ticked slowly onward. Time flowed inevitably and irresistibly. This was the final minute before midnight, the most perilous moment.
And yet, even in this suffocating darkness, a spark would still flare to life.
After all, that's what it means to be human.
