    It kind of ruins the concept if you can’t use the information to change the outcome. Or maybe just makes it sad, every time you try to save someone they die at that time anyway. Then over time you work out that the clock knew what actions you were going to do, and by trying to interfere with the people with short times you actually caused their deaths.

      Very Cassandra to have knowledge of the future but be unable to change it

      You can’t change fate but maybe can change how ppl meet it?

      Like If you knew someone was going to die maybe help them bring them peace sooner.

        Or maybe if you knew your own date you could do reckless shit. Although you might just spend 20 years in a coma before you die.
