Hey Marty, I came across an old pocket watch that people say can lock time in a loop—ever tinkered with something that can bend minutes?

Sure, let's crack it open and watch the gears dance. I'll get the mainspring tight and make sure the escape wheel stays clean – that bit's critical or the whole thing could just jam and lock us in a time loop. We'll keep a close eye on the regulator too, so we can nudge it back on track if it starts to slip. Let's see if we can loop a minute or two without getting stuck.
