I have an idea, what if everyone experiences time at different lengths and moments.
Like when you fall asleep, you seem to wake up almost instantly after, unless you dream. While someone not sleeping experiences all of the time they spent awake.
So someone falls asleep, they wake up in what might feel almost instant.
Someone stays awake, they experience the same amount of time in what seems longer, while still being the same amount of time. So my idea is that these two people are experiencing time differently as one perceives it ~7 hours later, as he/she/did you just assume the gender of the being OP, than the other being., that stayed awake.
My first and only proof is Krishnas Prophet, as he fell asleep a long time ago and just woke up, still holding his 11th century ideals. As he fell asleep for 800 years, experiencing them almost instantly.
