My Papa is...

Dead..??

Yo...You're lying...!

Why should I believe in anything you say...!

He really is dead.

And I assure you, it was not I who killed him...

If it's food then there is plenty! Please feel free and eat as much as you like~!

Oh? You don't want to eat...??

But it~is~so~good~, you know?

You seem awfully happy about it...

And what the heck is with that strange song, anyway...?

That was my original song~

Then how should I know about it...?

Looks like...

There's not much time left...

It's about time we move on to our last game.

This alarm clock will be set to an appropriate amount of time...

You and I will compete to hold the clock. Whoever is holding when the alarm goes off, wins!

C..Compete..?

I can't possibly beat a big man like you...

Because this humble me is a gentlemen, he will not act like a brute.

This game is about the accuracy of our internal clock!

You and I will have the right to take the clock from the other party.

However, after 30 seconds, the other party will have right to take the clock away.

Incidentally, that 30 seconds will be measured by this hourglass right here.

You cannot touch the clock until all of the sand has completely fallen down to the bottom.

Good enough?

No, it's not.

Your proposed game is untrustworthy.

True, can't say I blame you.

Then how about this?

I will let you set the alarm for the watch!

In other words, this humble me will not know how long until the alarm goes off.

How this game goes is completely up to you.

Ah, but please set the time later than 2 minutes, please.

If not, the game won't be fair.

Furthermore, if you win, I will tell you all about the truth!!

Which means, how to get out!!

Good enough...?

But, well, if you lose, you will promise to be quiet and be murdered!

I get it...!

Let's do this.

I've set the clock...

Then... Let's start...

Is this guy a kid...?

It's time.

I win...

I've set the time short enough for me to win this game.

After all, the shorter the time the better I can sense it...

That guy seems to have deduced that I would set it to just about 2 minutes...

So I set it at "2 minutes 50 seconds"

2 minutes had maybe started just now.

Immediately after he flipped the hourglass...

If I'm right, the clock will ring when I hold it..!!!

But, I wonder, what did he mean by internal clock..?

However you look at it, this game doesn't depend much on memory or the clock's second hand...

But surely, it is still progressing...!!

It's time.

Ring...

It definitely will ring...

At least before all of the sand has fallen down...!

Hmm~ Still nothing, huh~

Sure, I was perhaps confused at first...

But I'm sure I didn't make any mistake... It was supposed to ring right then...

What a shame~ My turn~

Oooohh, it rang~! That means I win~

That was close~ A few seconds more and you'd have won~

But a promise is a promise, and that promise is DEATH

Don't worry, this will be over in an instant..!!

This game is "invalid"..!!!

That clock... it still hasn't rang yet!

Yes...??

No, to be more accurate...

It couldn't ring from the start...!

Wh..What do you mean..?

But it did just, in fact, ring just now...

Yes, but the sound did not come from this clock.

At first, the only thing I could think of was how to pull a trick with this 30 second hourglass...

A "winning strategy" to be precise...

I didn't notice when you purposely cut off your left hand but...

When you finally used that left hand to take the clock, that's when I saw IT...

The alarm actually came from the wristwatch you planted in your left hand.

You pretended to go crazy at the start of the game to secretly prepare a wristwatch before taking the clock from me.

So the clock can only "ring" when it is in your hand.

Guess I'm busted!

Since you saw though my trick, this win is yours.

To be honest...

Had you not said anything, I would have committed suicide along with you...

But you have defeated me in both wisdom and tenacity...

As the saying goes, like father like daughter...

As promised, I will tell you all about the truth.

Let's start with the first question...

WHO am I...?

No...

The correct question should be: "What am I"...

My true identity...

Is...

To be blunt...
