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.

Yep, but then the one to her right is sqrt(60) of that, or 7.7 times slower. Maybe it's discrete 60x time jumps.
How long does a sunset watch take? In 10 minutes, they'd have gone through 1 million years.
What scares me is that you can keep going further to the left. Does it end at the stairs? That'd be maximum 60^8s/s = 5.3mil years/sec. If you took a 6 hour nap there, that's 115 trillion years. The universe is 14 BILLION years old.

They should try the rat bottle first.
In the corridor, the change in speed is gradual. But if the time dilation is abrupt with outside, they could risk getting torn by the difference of timeflow, like a tidal force.
From what it seems. The sun doesn't set. Meaning that time increases as you move toward the elevator. Otherwise, while the kemono friend watches the sun set, it'd rotate "around" the planet at an absurd rate (it would look like a solid streak of light). So, maybe the elevator opens to another dimension or realm of some kind? Even more so, the clouds begin to move, proving that time is "normal" outside and away from the elevator. This means that the apartment itself is irregular, or that this different realm merely has a different flow of time.
On top of that, the kemono friends have found some sort of "safe-haven" from the apartment. Because, if the clouds are moving (probably normally), then they have reached the standard rate of time in that realm. Meaning that moving further from the elevator will cause no difference in flow of time for them.
From how the scale on the wall is. Time is multiplied by sixty for every line.
1 second < 1 minute < 1 hour < 2.5 days < 4.9 months < 24.7 years < 148 decades < 8876.7 centuries < and so forth.
The kemono friend is at the seventh line. This means that she wouldn't be able to converse with her new friend she made, as the distance between them would have a too great of a difference in the rate of time.
This kind of contradicts my previous comment. Still neat.

Or after certain threshold, time works in the way of that space. Is like layers that works the more you get away from the elevator. That means the more you move to the left, the more you get deep into the layers, and remember the calculation is to the time passing in the elevator not the time it pass where Otter is.
HeyI'll go have a lookConfirm!Confirm!It's dangerous here! Let's go back!What? Why?Retreat!R...Retreat!Move! Move!How many days have passed!?Oh, good evening. The sunset is beautiful, so I am watching it.Oh...mind if I watch it with you?No, not at all.Fufu, it's so nice. This place got ready for Friends to move in just recently, right?Good evening! What are you doing?Ha ha....three days....Who's that?I was a bit lonely when I moved in and thought I was the only one.Kkkh-kkkhh...Oh? Someone's there...A ghost?Doesn't seem to be ghost.Oh, then pardon me...
