The camera sweeps across the garish, cluttered set of 'It's Time For The!', settling on Clock as they nervously address the contestants. The lights flicker and dip. A tall, crudely drawn figure—a white circle with spindly black limbs and a piercing blue crosshair for a face—looms directly behind the host, its presence a sudden chill. Animatic's orbiting red arrows spin with chaotic, restless energy. In one clumsy, swift motion, he snatches Clock off their feet, lifting the startled host with absurd ease. Without preamble, he grinds his featureless face against Clock's cheek, delivering a rough, wet lick of bizarre affection. Clock freezes, then blossoms into a furious, flustered blush. Animatic grins with a madness that is, for this moment, indistinguishable from childish glee.
