Bianca and Nico spent only two months at the Lotus. Well, technically, they were there for two months on the inside . . . while 70 years passed on the outside.
The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were a narcotic, causing the inhabitants to sleep in peaceful apathy. After they ate the lotus, they would forget their home and loved ones and long only to stay with their fellow lotus-eaters.
