« nanamin, since we had to change the clocks for daylight savings recently i was thinking... how do we know what time it really is ? like... who set the first clock ? what if it's actually... i'unno, noon right now ? can we just choose what time we want it to be ? »
Before speaking, Kento pauses to remove his glasses and massages his tired eyes with a weariness that could be likened to a stressed-out bear in captivity. "What do you mean by we, Itadori-kun? Please, tell me you don't adhere to these time changes.” That’s what happens when kids spend too much on social media, he supposes, expression grim. "In Japan, we follow Japan's standard time consistently throughout the year." Kento glances down at his wristwatch almost instinctively, as a reminder, as reassurance.
"Well, to put it simply, it's like taking a step forward and then backward. You end up in the same place, yes? That’s what happens every year, essentially, for countries that observe daylight savings.” If Kento’s truthful with himself, he’s always hated the disruption the change caused when talking to international clients. But that was back at his old job, his old life, and he brushes off those memories with a shake of his head.
"As humans, we've been monitoring the passage of time for millennia," he continues. "Babylonians and Egyptians utilised sundials some 5000 years ago to track time and coordinate events, particularly agricultural cycles. While the origins of the modern clock are murky, the refinement of time measurement—from seasons to seconds—has been an ongoing process throughout history." With a slight tilt of his head, he positions his glasses onto the bridge of his nose, masking the flicker of perplexity in his eyes.
"So, no, you can't simply decide what time it is. Civilisation has established the rules by which we measure time. And even though it changes from one time-zone to another, we follow the rules regarding time in our own country, much like we adhere to laws. Now, show me what time it is on your watch.” At that, Kento holds out a hand expectantly.

pelipper mail: a torn scroll, all that is scrawled on it (in really bad panicked handwriting) is "Don't eat the mochi, Don't fall to it's tricks" overlapping itself multiple times.
...this is certainly a thing to read in the morning.
how old is this scroll actually..?
