"Is it just me, or is time moving way too fast these days?" Dylan said as he walked alongside Liam, Ariana, and Maxwell.
"I mean, come on—we're already halfway through the semester," he continued, dragging a hand through his hair in disbelief. "Am I the only one noticing how quickly we got here?"
"Honestly… you're not wrong," Max replied as they kept walking at an easy pace. "Sometimes it really does feel like just yesterday the previous third-years graduated."
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Dylan shot back. "Something has to be wrong with time itself, because this is a bit too much for me."
"Well, I guess you're right," Ariana said in her usual soft tone, "but I also think you're overreacting a little, Dylan. The only reason you're this aware of time is because of how exhausting the instructors and professors have made things so far."
Dylan hummed thoughtfully, actually paying attention.
