It is predicted to impact on the eve of the Carnival of Time, an annual [[harvest festival]] that begins three days hence. Despite the looming threat, the various peoples of Termina are preoccupied by their own respective troubles. In the center of Termina, the people of Clock Town endlessly debate evacuating the city or continuing to prepare for the festival, the failure of which would be devastating to the economy.
