Caelwyn:
At first, I thought time stopped when the bombs fell.
Broken clocks. Useless calendars. History burned away.
Stacy:
It didn’t stop.
It just stopped caring about humans.
Caelwyn:
Before the war, time was a promise.
Next year would be better. Bigger.
Progress had a direction.
Stacy:
And control.
Shifts. Deadlines. Holidays on command.
Time was organized — and anyone who failed to keep up was left behind.
Caelwyn:
After the bombs, there is no “better tomorrow.”
Only a today you survive.
Stacy:
That’s why years suddenly matter again.
Not because people plan —
but because they need to remember who they were.
Caelwyn:
A new year without a future.
Why celebrate it at all?
Stacy:
Because rituals create order when everything else collapses.
A year’s turning says: I am still here.
Even if the world refuses to confirm it.
Caelwyn:
Time becomes a circle instead of a line.
Stacy:
Exactly.
Seasons instead of calendars.
Radiation levels instead of hours.
Memory instead of hope.
Caelwyn:
And yet they cling to dates.
2077. The day the bombs fell.
Stacy:
Because catastrophes need anchors.
Time is no longer measured — it is scarred.
Caelwyn:
So time after the war isn’t a tool anymore.
Stacy:
It’s a wound.
And every celebration, every anniversary, is an attempt not to let it fade.
This was only the surface.

—and why people still cling to years, calendars, and rituals—
