Lore Timeline?

[Iscah]

Time has obviously passed. Screw the calendar year, we all know the game doesn't run on our depiction of time gone by. But you can still say that on a per-person basis, time has passed.

That is exactly what the time bubble means.

That is exactly what we're trying to explain it as.

There is clearly time between events that happen in a designated order - possibly several years of it. You just don't see it on the calendar.

It's why we could count up three or four years as the logical amount of time spent on the plot line of the game, but the twins are still sixteen years old, and it's still five years since the Calamity despite everyone going through nine years' worth of events inbetween.
