I just noticed this now trying to save scum Kohaku's limited items, but is literally everything you do supposed to make some minutes go by?
I'm talking I save at say, 10:38 and reload the save and it says 10:40 or 10:41 - I even open up the Wait menu and tap "Back" and a couple of minutes go by; is thete sum'n going on with this, or is it some weird sort of... something?

Almost everything you do passes time. Go up to someone and talk and then hit Back and time will pass because you started to have a conversation with them, even if you didn't follow up with any of the actual dialogue options. However, purely mechanical things like going to the Wait menu and then hitting Back should not advance time, nor should saving and reloading; I just checked and neither of those advance the clock for me.

Real weird then; even opening my Journal passes time for me, or opening my inventory.

But apparently it stopped happening after I slept to the next day...? Now I'm really confused.

Edir: Oh, I see what's going on now: whenever I reload the save whenever I finish checking on Kohaku's small chance for one of her limited items, it's doing the time skip by 2-5 minutes for anything I choose to do - inventory, journal, waiting - until I either leave the entire zone or sleep to the next day.
Very confused.
