Doesn't Sakuya's cannon profile mention something about no one knowing how old she is because she manipulates time?
Yet authors are still trying to make me feel sad.
That's a bit hard to say. I think that tidbit comes from one of the Hieda or Aya entries from one of those info books which are meant to be vague (Or was it Perfect Cherry Blossom?). Perfect Memento, where it may come from, also speculates (I think) she may have been a vampire hunter. Hieda and Aya, as characters, are very misinformed on the others and I'm betting the age thing was speculation. ZUN is really weird about how he transmits canon info.
That being said, why does he bother even mentioning it? It could be that the watch can control her lifespan or it could be that we can't measure her age because her body doesn't age when time is stopped though she is still alive then. Which would mean to get her true age we would have to combine her lived time and stopped time, which we can't do, so her true age is unknown. ZUN is pretty odd about this stuff and I wonder how much he tries to keep straight.
I doubt ZUN is interested in concrete canon building and it's likely more of just an interesting remark than anything else. But now I'm wandering into authorial intent and let's not go there.
