The theme of time and faceless in Alice in the Country of Hearts

Time and clocks are one of the central themes of the Alice in the Country of Hearts series.

Spoilers here for the Alice in the Country of Hearts:

In Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass," time is malleable. Alice attends a "mad tea part" in a place where time stands still - it's always 6 pm (tea time).

The roleholders all represent a specific hour. Peter, for example, is 3 o'clock, Alice's beloved tea-time with her sister. Although we don't get to know which hour the other roleholders represent, it is mentioned that only 12 of them are supposed to exist at any given country
