    Summary

    Gepard had made peace with having no soulmate. In the familiar order of 00:000:00:00:00 (years, days, hours, minutes, seconds), Gepard saw marks ticking around him every day of the warming spring. Rolled-up shirts worn on too-hot days led to many exposed wrists. Romantic indications on the left, platonic on the right for those right-handed, and the inverse for those who worked with their left. He barely registered them anymore because he had no want left in him, no yearning. A soulmate was simply not in the cards for him as someone born without a timer.

    So, here he sat in the pottery shop five blocks from his city apartment when he overheard a conversation that changed the course of his life.
