That's a good question. I mean it obviously didn't explode or break down in any spectacular manner. I obviously don't know that much about clockwork, but I can't even find anything really wrong with it with the exception of, of the mere fact and consequence of its abandonment. Maybe, maybe people stopped using it? Maybe the flow of Outsiders stopped? Or maybe when everyone left the town this just got left behind by default?

Honestly I wouldn't mind more time to stay and look around, but. Things to do back at home. I hope.
