"5 hours and counting." Annus stated solemnly.

"Maybe it won't happen. Maybe...maybe this is all some sick joke?" Unus desperately rambled, his feet carving the floor where he paced.

Annus scoffed, "Yeah, a joke, that's what this is."

"Well sorry for trying to be optimistic!"

Annus sighed, "I'm sorry Unus. I just don't see how this could work out. That timers going to end no matter what."

"I know!" He screamed before composing himself, "I know." He repeated quieter, "and I'm sorry too."

"It's fine, and I honestly hope your right, I just don't want to get my hopes up." Annus admitted.

"I understand that." Unus paced a bit more before adding on, "I could have sworn we had more time. We had a year!"

"Your right. It's gone by a lot quicker than either of us were expecting. It can't be the end now." Annus sighed in annoyance, shaking his head, digging in his own brain for an answer.

Unus continued to walk in front of him. Head confused. Neither of them could find the answer. There had to be one.

They needed one.
