The kids are hiding in the closet or under the bed. They're worried that the monster is going to kill them. Aunt Quing gave them the time spirit's heart so they can use it to save one of them. They don't know what to do with it, but they're going to use it anyway. The time spirit doesn't have a new heart to inherit, so he's got the power to reset the time. He's also got the ability to sacrifice human lives for the sake of time. The kids think that this is weird, but it's just because there's no other time spirit who can inherit this time spirit heart. They think that the god of time is so affected by the past time spirit that he completely forgets who he is. They also think that if he gives them the heart, he won't be able to reincarnate again the next time they die. Hold on a sec, the kids think. There's a huge earthquake. It sounds like the outside world is moving, but the sealed ball isn't moving. They can't figure out what's going on, but one thing's for sure: the earthquake is in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
