    Confused and scared, she encountered an old man. Sensing her disorientation, he offered to guide her, explaining that he too was once a victim of the time trinket's magic.

    She discovered that the trinket was powered by the emotions and experiences of its previous owners. To control its magic, she had to connect with these emotions and understand their experiences.
