In reality, the more time people save, the less they have the time they save is actually lost to them. Buildings and clothing are made exactly the same for everyone, and the rhythms of life become hectic. Gradually, the sinister influence of the Men in Grey affects the whole city: life becomes sterile, devoid of all things considered time-wasting, like social activities, recreation, art, imagination, or sleeping. After encountering the Men in Grey, people are made to forget all about them, but not about the resolution to save as much time as possible for later use. Appearing in the form of grey-clad, grey-skinned, bald men, these strange individuals present themselves as representing the Timesavings Bank and promote the idea of "timesaving" among the population: supposedly, time can be deposited in the Bank and returned to the client later with interest. This pleasant atmosphere is spoiled by the arrival of the Men in Grey, eventually revealed as a species of paranormal parasites stealing the time of humans.
