Dor (Father Time)
Dor travels to a clock shop to complete his journey. He chooses Sarah and Victor as his mission and observes them. When both Sarah and Ethan come to the watch shop (for Ethan's watch and Victor's symbolic souvenir) the properiter brings out an expert. The novel describes a man like Dor who has the same clothes and appearance. This is a part of his plan. He visits Victor in his private office and gives him his time piece. Dor talks about hearing Victor as a child and how his current wish for time contradicts him as a child.
Sarah Lemon
Sarah sees Ethan again at the shelter, their relationship is not the same as it used to be. She withdrew money from her bank account and cuts school to drive to NYC and buy the watch. In the news she hears about the "end of the world". She constantly texts Ethan but he doesn't respond. Later, Lorraine gives her an idea to engrave the watch and she chooses the message "time flies with you". Sarah has to explain this phrase to Dor as he doesn't know what it means. She plans to give Ethan the watch at Dunkin Donuts on Christmas night
Victor Delamonte
Victor goes to a watch shop to get a time piece which is the oldest watch in the store. He continues to consult with his law team about the cryogenics and where all of his money would go to. He still feels guilty about not telling Grace. One day while doing dialysis he sees a shadow of Dor. Dor states that he can describe Victor as impatient. Dor goes to Victor's private office and gives the finished time piece to him. He calls Grace and tells her that he will be stopping dialysis.

"Time became industry"
This shows how a simple concept like time can change the world immensely. Clocks and time is an important part of the world. Nobody could imagine what life would be like if there were no clocks. Dor is shocked at how big it has become. His simple inventions turned colossal. Although this quote says time became an industry, it is even more than that. I believe that time has became an essential part of the world. There are good and bad things in time being necessary to the world.
"I don't want to fight, I just want you to come home"
This quote is said by Grace. At this point in her and Victor's damaged relationship, she never sees him anymore and she misses him alot. Victor is so immersed in being immortal, that he completely ignores the one person who truly loves him. In my opinion, I think that this relationship is exactly like Dor and Alli's. Dor is so focused on time and his inventions that he ignores Alli but he looses her due to this distraction. Although Victor has not lost Grace physically their marriage is gone.
