if: Tokei Monogatari

A man who has been laid off from his job stumbles upon a peculiar watch that, when opened, allows him to travel back in time up to one hour. At first, he uses this power for selfish and malicious purposes, committing acts of sexual assault and theft without facing any consequences. The ability to rewind time gives him a sense of control and invincibility in a world that has rejected him.

However, his actions begin to weigh on him when he meets a young, hungry girl on the streets. Her innocence and vulnerability stir something within him, forcing him to confront the morality of his choices. As he spends more time with her, he starts to question whether his power should be used for protection rather than exploitation. The watch that once enabled his darkest impulses now becomes a tool for potential redemption, but old habits die hard and the line between right and wrong blurs with every reset.
