Looks like time moves faster the more left you go. The otter in the elevator has been waiting for them to come back for 3 days. The friend standing there has probably been there for years, centuries even.

You mean it gets slower the more you go to the left. The panel is drawn from the perspective of the left-most otter, so you see the other otters move faster on the right as the "real time" is getting faster as what the otter is experiencing.
And yeah, looks like the person on the left has been slowed down so much that an eternity must have passed, while it's only a few minutes for her. Judging from what she says, she seems to be from the time when the complex wasn't all messed up yet. At least she isn't alone now, while generations are passing by.
If time doesn't move in that settings (the sunset that doesn't set), moving past that last threshold that she's just about to cross probably would mean being truly frozen in time as it probably ends up sinking off into an infinite amount of time per second.
This anomaly feels relatively benign, really. It doesn't kill you or make anything horrible happen to you, it's just... time. If you have no attachments and want to time travel, it could be useful, even- albeit the time machine here is one-way. You would basically need to crush a Jupiter sized mass down to relatively small dimensions otherwise if you wanted to do this kind of time travel IIRC.

If the pattern set by the labels (60^x seconds/second) continues, that would put her at 60^6 seconds/second or ~1480 years/second.
It's like a singularity of a black hole, where time seems normal to you while time flies outside.
Also because of the fact they'll probably won't be able to leave in the same time period anymore. Or literally that place if they can't use the stairs beside them.
It doesn't matter anymore. They're not going to be able to leave, since the elevator is now a relic of the past.
Looks like the shaft remains functional, and the elevator doors are ajar. As log as they are careful, climbing down may be an option. What I really wonder is if the area outside the corridor is affected- IE, if they climb down from their current position, is the world outside the apartment in accordance with when the complex was new, or when the elevator stopped functioning.
In a way, this hallway is the ultimate safe area. Since no monsters have appeared for the thousands of years that they've been standing there talking it's likely that they won't appear at all. They're effectively outliving everything and everyone in the complex.

It does nothing to you physically. The only harm done is to end your relationships with anyone who doesn't follow you down the hallway - if you go far enough, you will never see anyone you knew again.
HeyOh? Someone's there...Ha ha....three days....Kkkh-kkkhh...A ghost?No, not at all.Oh...mind if I watch it with you?I was a bit lonely when I moved in and thought I was the only one.Fufu, it's so nice.
