Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
Don't you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away?
Don't you hear me calling you?
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead, pity me

Natasha Romanoff: Sorry, that must have been a very long five years.
Scott Lang: Yeah, but that's just it; it wasn't. For me, it was five hours.
Scott Lang: Yeah, but that's just it; it wasn't. For me, it was five hours.
Karn: Teferi.
Jhoira: Yes. He was caught in flames when the blast occurred. Only a moment of time has passed for him in these ten years. When I discovered him here seven years ago, I fetched a heavy cloak, soaked it in water, and flung it into the air to engulf him. In another few years—a split second of his time—he will be wrapped in it, his burning robes extinguished. Perhaps a few years later, he will tumble to the ground. Perhaps in ten years, he will see the New Tolaria and strive to reach it. Then, of course, he will be torn to pieces.
" I did it just the once for a few moments. 70 years had passed. To me it felt like a thousand."
— Maurice Jeanrichard, The Collector (2004), "The Watchmaker"
King Arlan: You've returned! It's been two weeks. I'd thought the worst!
Imtura: Two weeks?! It didn't feel like two weeks.
Nia: Time passes differently in The Shadow Realm, it seems.

Nardole: You're back! They said you would probably never come back.
The Doctor: I was in there for seconds.
Nardole: Two days.

Nardole: Two days.
Mitsuru: Good. You're all here. Tonight, we're infiltrating the campus. Our goal is to rescue Fuuka Yamagishi.
Junpei: Um, I don't get it. Are you sayin' Yamagishi is inside the school somewhere?
Yukari: And why are we doing this at night? At midnight, this place turns into—
Mitsuru: Exactly. That's how Yamagishi wandered into Tartarus.
Yukari: Wait, you mean Yamagishi-san's been over there ever since she got locked in the gym?
Mitsuru: That's right.
Junpei: But that was ten days ago! No matter how you look at it, she's gotta be...
Akihiko: Don't lose hope just yet. Tartarus only appears during the Dark Hour. So where does it go for the rest of the day?
Protagonist: It doesn't exist...?/Nobody knows...
Yukari: That's a good point.
Akihiko: This is just a theory, but I think time flows differently in Tartarus. So even though it's been ten days for us, it could have only been ten hours for her. There's a chance she's still alive.

Chisa: By the way, I asked the Black Shores to help me verify the academy I once attended and dig into my records. They didn't reach the school directly, but... I found something. I was in Honami for around two months. Outside, over twenty years have passed. Kuchiba Chisa... was a first-year student at Startorch Academy over twenty years ago.
Rover: ...Over twenty years ago?
Chisa: Yes. I had a feeling this would be the case when Sumika mentioned her findings, but I didn't expect such a huge time difference. The nice orientation ceremony... still feels recent. But the classmates I met have long since graduated. When I tried to contact my parents back home, I realized there was no way for me to reach them at all. Where are they? What have they been doing? How will they react if they find out that their daughter is still alive... I have no way of knowing.
