The wait for the ore to smelt was one of the most insufferable that Theo ever went through in his life.
And it wasn't just because he had to watch his clock tick away while sitting down and pretty much doing nothing.
No.
It was because while he sat down and did quite a lot, he couldn't help but keep glancing at the ticking clock.

It took roughly one minute for a single batch of ore to smelt through in Theo's furnaces. Then, just a few more seconds for him to set up the new batch of nail crafting that would use up all the freshly baked iron ingots.
And then, the whole process would repeat, forcing Theo to watch how the seconds on the crafting timer matched the passing of the seconds on the invasion clock, all the while trying his absolute utmost not to just… lose his grip and fall asleep.
'Come on, man, hang in there for just a little bit longer!'
