Whatever the length of the variable time Chapter 2 sections, there's an event some time in the Governing Yhilin phases (maybe the Orcent Transformation), where Simon says "It's been 2 years since I got the shard". So presumably whatever variability there is in the timeline resolves itself by then.

Let's rephrase "we need" as "I'm getting tired of writing dates in longhand relative form".
