It highly shows that he's speaking to.. past blue circle? "What he’s become is the result, and now you’ll live with it." It's like either the clock guy warning past blue circle orrr just telling him to let him know that things are getting worse for him, that HE HAS to go through it to stay alive?
It's like destroying past blue circle's expectations about the future, and traumatizing (not necessarily?) the current blue circle even more
I feel like the clock guy is a villainous but kinda gray? Idk
He's either villain but morally gray
Orrr is a villain and teasing blue circle?
I CAN'T WORD THIS RIGHT
AHHH I HAVE STORM OF THEORIES
(Yes this was split to two comments)

FUCKING THEORY/IES POPPED UP
Welcome to SYSAAATEBCL
"The argument"... Maybe... BC and the clock guy had an argument? What makes me sure of it because of "It was the only path that kept you alive… and kept me standing." OHH OR MAYBE
BLUE CIRCLE HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH ANOTHER LIKE.. Maybe a friend or a close friend?? Or,, could be anyone honestly! Anywho, that specific argument was also a benefit for the clock guy and kept him standing

Damn
