No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Wes has a soft heart--even if it is a gear heart from when he was mechanicalized during the war. Now close to homeless and in desperate straits, he still finds himself taking on a stray dog--and helping out an injured man he stumbles across in an alleyway.
That's how he meets Kit. A harmless, gentle clock repairman with a heart condition of his own, Kit is in dangerβ¦because he's working on a certain clock.
He hires Wes to protect him until the danger is pastβ¦whatever its cause. But they find their feelings for each other are becoming too strong to ignore, despite the danger.
When a chance to solve the mystery presents itself, Wes finds he might just lose the man he's come to loveβ¦if he can't find Kit in time.
