ITS HIM... THE BOY

Amane is in the past and is building/fixing a clock that looks a WHOLE lot like the clocks always associated with the 3 clock keepers. This alludes to one of a few things I’ll explore. So for this purpose, I’ll be assuming that the clock DOES have some kind of connection to them. 

1. Amane was the previous clock keeper of the present. While this theory does seem to come out of nowhere, I think it has a little credit. For one, it gives an explanation of how Amane could have become Hanako-san after his death. If he already knew about/was in relation to the 7 wonders, then becoming a part of them after death may have been exponentially easier.

 2. Amane was tampering with the clock in order to turn back time and fix SOMETHING The large clock we see him messing with is most likely the one associated with all of/the past clock keepers. For this reason, it’s likely he may have been trying to turn back time in order to stop some event from happening. I assume, since the clock was not moving, he couldn’t stop it. 

 - What was this event? 

 Well, we don’t have any concrete evidence for what happened, but it’s likely that it had something to do with the middle school performance. As evidenced by the disembodied hand and voice Nene senses, there was some kind of accident that occurred in relation to the play. 

 Perhaps Amane somehow found out about this from Tsukasa? As we know, Tsukasa can grant the innermost wishes of those around him. (like we saw with the exorcist his mother took him to, he was able to predict the head exorcist’s death as it was the wish of the person below him.) Perhaps Amane had some subconscious wish? Something horrible that might hurt a lot of people/himself/or Tsukasa? 

I also believe the fact this arc is titled "Omen" may lend truth to the fact Amane recieved some kind of omen for the future.

 Lastly, since the festival is most likely occurring in October or November, (since it’s referred to as the autumn festival in some translations) this is either happening in 1968 or 1969. Since we know 1969 is when Amane and Tsukasa dies and they die AFTER the moon landing on Jul 20, 1969, I’m predicting that this flashback happens BEFORE the flashback with Tsuchigomori. Therefore, Oct or Nov 1968.
