Default Making Friends and Conjuring People

The other day I found this handy article; however, there's something I would like to understand, and I quote:

"(...) Conjured Servant: You only exist in our world when summoned here to obey your master. If reduced to -HP, you vanish in a puff of smoke, and can be summoned again within (2×HP) minutes (...)"

Why is this "2xHP"? How was it estimated?

Thank you!

That's the point at which you will be at full hit points again.

I would assume it's based on their Regeneration - they have Regeneration (Fast), which gives 1 HP per minute. With Fragile (Unnatural), they "die" at -HP, meaning they will always take exactly twice as many minutes as they have HP to regenerate back to full.

But regeneration works the faster the more HP a character has.
