In Stephen Meyer's "Twilight," there is a moment of reflection between two characters about age and time. One character asks the other how old he is, to which he confidently responds that he is seventeen. The query shifts to how long he has been that age, leading to a pause as he contemplates his answer. This exchange reveals a deeper complexity of his character, hinting at the layers of experience and time that go beyond mere numbers. The ambiguity in his admission suggests that while he may appear youthful, there are profound experiences and truths that have shaped him during his extended period of being seventeen.
