I chose this quote because it made Miri feel like she can't have fun with her old friend, since time has past and it helps us think about the times we have missed and it can help us in reality.
This fits into the theme of: Coming of Age.
We can learn that, even over time, things might change but as you grow it won't affect you any more.
