White and co. get the Time Gear in the Forest of Eternity and he appears and warns the gang about something; "this artifact of yours holds great power but cannot function without assistance. i counterwise clockworks, a sinister force is at work, messing with the fabric of time and, eventually, reality" upon leaving, he drops a map of Counterwise Clockworks, pointing out where to put the Time Gear. eventually, the gang place the gear in its proper place only to mess up time even more. as they are about to be sent to the past, aracanum sacrifices himself to leave the gang in the present. there will be a few cutscenes with arcanum, explaining what happened in the past and how reality was tampered with, leaving the dmr in a frozen world. they find a way to go back in time and meet with arcanum again, attempting to fix time. also dark matter is the cause of the frozen present. Good idea then.
