**Title:** *"The Thirteenth Chime of Broken Gears"*

A haunting, lyrical title that hints at the story’s core mysteries: the cursed clocktower, the fractured machinery of time, and the irreversible cost of resurrection. It evokes both the eerie atmosphere of Blackthorn Hollow and the central conflict—how tampering with time breaks more than it fixes. The word “chime” ties to the supernatural element, while “broken gears” grounds it in the story’s steampunk heart.

**Alternate options:**

- *“Aurelia’s Shadow”* (emphasizes the automaton’s tragic duality)

- *“Where the Clocktower Whispers”* (mysterious and atmospheric)

- *“The Cogwheel Requiem”* (blends machinery and melancholy)
