Naturally, this is only my personal belief. I cannot speak from any sort of measure of certainty. It would be arrogant to claim otherwise.
[ He prefers dealing in facts. ]
I cannot even say that it is consistent between one person and the next, either. After all, we have witnessed all manner of strangeness in this place. But we are already aware that the number of days that have passed do not match up with the regular passage of time one might experience in a regular calendar year. At least, not the calendar system we use at home. Perhaps the production finds that by speeding up the seasons, it creates a more interesting television series for those who are watching us?
[ Mere speculation, since none of them can know with a measure of certainty. ]
But I know that if we have barely topped a year on this production, then it would be impossible for oniisama to actually have aged so much. But if we return to the problem of time, it is all a confusing mess, to begin with, isn't it?
For instance- when my cousin arrived with the extra units, like oniisama, he had already passed at home. But, we managed-- no. He managed to earn his life back through hard work and skill.
If he returned home after having already died, that would create an impossible scenario that would make him the focus of all social media, and at the center of the scientific world. He would be treated as little more than a strange specimen.
[ He shakes his head. ]
I believe that the producers can manipulate time, freeze the passage of it, and even rewind it to suit their needs. We often see this in the form of actual games they toss us into. What can feel like days or even weeks turns out to be little more than hours.
So in the end, the only reliable passage of time we have is by counting the days that pass while paying no heed to the seasons themselves.
