Baku's main goal was to defeat Hal using a "leap second" that was going to happen on January 1st at exactly 9:00 a.m. Baku wanted to use that leap second to his advantage. At the start of the game, his first step was to figure out the pace of the game—this is important because he needed to know how fast or slow things were happening. Once he had a good grasp of the pace, his next move was to get into the leap second route. Now, after entering the leap second route, Baku had to make sure that Hal stayed in a near-death state for at least five minutes. The reason for this is that, in the game, the container or limit for being near death is five minutes. Once someone has been in that state for five minutes, it’s almost guaranteed they will die because surviving after that point is nearly impossible. So, to make sure his plan worked, Baku’s goal was for Hal to reach that five-minute mark during the leap second. If Hal didn’t reach or exceed that limit, the whole strategy would fail, and there’d be no point in using the leap second at all.
