[His face flushes a bit, because it feels super stupid to explain.]
I think time works kind of weird in that strange world I came from. It's actually a lot like this place in that regard? But instead of time stopping it's just...slower. Much slower. So...when I first got here I kept like, spacing on how time works anyway. I kept telling everyone I was fifteen for like, almost three years?
[It's embarrassing now though, admitting that he would just casually forget about the passage of time. He puts his face in his hands.]
I-I've been trying harder now, but. It felt weirder to skip ahead a bunch of birthdays? So a couple of years ago I just started counting everything again, as if I put new batteries in a clock but didn't adjust the time. I...I tell people I'm seventeen, but really I should be way older than that. Probably. But then again not really, since no one ages?
