[ Inigo might not have noticed what Tidus was trying to point out to him if not for the sound. He isn't looking in the other's direction, after all, but the quiet ticking makes him raise his face to look over at it.
And then it's a gesture he understands without words. It's the same thing Taiki did to him before, after all, that one time when he was determined to keep working during the mission when he should have been resting.
There's no fight left in Inigo after the exchange they had right before the SCA came off, so he doesn't protest. Whatever. If Tidus wants him to put it back on after the countdown is over, he will.
The problem is what comes after that. When they can communicate again. Inigo has no idea what to do then.
But the countdown keeps ticking down, unrelenting, as Inigo stares right at it. ]
