   Summary

   Almost everyone has at least one timer on their wrist or arm counting down to the moment when they'll meet their soulmate. Psiioniic has precisely one, as is relatively common - but there's something strange about it, something that seems to be entirely unique to him. His timer is billions and billions of sweeps long, far longer than any troll could ever live. It's frustrating, it's upsetting, and it makes no fucking sense. He lives long, longer than he should, even finding others in his position, but still - there's nothing.

   However, a new life on Earth C seems to promise him and his loved ones a second chance.
