Shadowy figures will congregate as Otoha's life draws to a close, coming out of the murky darkness. Qilby can neither touch nor interact with them. They stand at varying heights, faceless and eyeless, with small hands that look like they should be quite unable to grasp at anything.

Several of them surround his body, and then disappear with it, leaving behind simply a clock, no longer ticking. A few remaining creatures stare at Qilby, blank-faced (how they do with no eyes is a good question) as one picks up the clock with its tiny hands.

Qilby can attempt to take it, but it will prove futile; the creatures will simply disappear, taking Otoha's clock with them.

Otoha will awaken later on the ground floor of Clover Tower, body intact, aside from a few small changes. Inside Clover Tower, a scrap of paper will appear by Otoha when he reawakens. It is penned in unfamiliar handwriting, and reads:

"The frog told me
that the cat is bad."

The paper cannot be removed or damaged. It will remain there, next to the paper Sebastian found prior, making a pair.

Loud coughing can now be heard emitting from the Locked door at the top of Clover Tower as well, periodically.
