How to ensure YearInsideHourOutside and/or YearOutsideHourInside makes sense?

I've got a character planned for the Character Adventure and am trying to work out how to get Year Inside, Hour Outside or Year Outside, Hour Inside to work to their advantage for if they visit the character's home setting, an Alternate Universe version of our Earth.

Currently, I've got:

5 minutes Outside = 60 minutes Inside

or

60 minutes Inside = 3 hours Outside

but working out the mechanics and how it'd fit the plot is the issue.

I'm not sure of a way to get this working In-Universe, but Time Travel is a part of their powers.

I'd appreciate any advice!

In the old mythology they had the Fairy Realm which had the same concept, or you could use the same mythological structure of the Japanese man who visited the Dragon Palace for a few days, and then when he returned to the human world hundreds of years passed (and his parents were dead).

Since, from what your post says, this is about an element that you intend to use for the CDTs, I would talk this over in the CDT discussion and work with them on how this might work out in a collaborative setting, or if it would work at all. With such small differences in time, I'm not seeing what sort of effect this is supposed to have on any plots or characters (collaborative setting or otherwise), aside from making people stall their characters in the latter case until the "outside" catches up, or how the former case would even work in a situation where you don't have control over the timeline or passage of events. Of course, I could be totally wrong about this, and would highly recommend bringing this up over there if you're seriously considering trying this.

I've actually decided to rework it into my own works, separate from this.
