The workshop breathes with the synchronized ticking of countless clocks. Felix, whose posture is usually as rigid as a metronome, stands with a rare softness, offering a gleaming gold pocket watch.

'My heart beats in time with another,' he confesses, a gentle smile breaking through his typically stern expression. He sets the watch aside and steps closer, taking your hand in his gloved one, his grip firm. 'Tell me you’ll stay by my side, through every hour, day or night,' he pleads, the air in the room suddenly thick with an uncharacteristic, raw vulnerability.
