She's offered to many times, but Sakuya always declines. As devoted to her mistress as she is, it's important to her that she dies as she lived, a human with a normal human lifespan. Remi respects that this is what Sakuya wants and she won't betray that by "vamping" her without her consent. Which doesn't make it any easier on her when the inevitable happens, of course.

Heavily seconded.

Sakuya in canon has been living for a very long time, to the point Remi commented she doesn't think Sakuya is human anymore. Source: Imperishable Night good ending 3. There's no reason to believe that Sakuya's time manipulation ability can't keep her young and alive until Remi passes away.

I think the opposite is true: while Remi, as a vampire, can't die, Sakuya's constant time-stopping is shortening her life rather than lengthening it. So if she halts time, gets 30 minutes of work done, and restarts it, she'll have aged 30 more minutes than anyone else.

I'm not familiar with Imperishable Night myself, but if what Sal.N says is true, it implies that Sakuya's time manipulation ability also allows her to manipulate her aging process so that she doesn't age with time stopped. If that's true - well, it's not natural for humans to be nearly ageless, and just as even inanimate objects can become animate if they exist for a hundred years, a human would eventually become other than human if they extended their lifespan far beyond its natural duration by magical means.

Sal.N, is it that Sakuya has lived a long time because of time-stop, or has an unnaturally high number of normal-time days passed as well?
