    "Five Centimetres per Second" is a poignant prose poem that explores the gradual accumulation of sadness in life, focusing on the lingering memories of a past relationship. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese concept of the falling speed of cherry blossoms, this piece delves into the bittersweet nature of nostalgia and the inevitable emotional distancing that occurs over time. Through lyrical prose, it captures the struggle between holding onto precious memories and the desire to move forward, resonating with anyone who has experienced the gentle yet persistent pull of past love. 18 June 2022

    Ren Kurogane, a self-proclaimed investigator obsessed with ghosts and urban legends, has spent years searching for proof that the supernatural exists. Mocked for his eccentric behavior and dramatic imagination, he's determined to uncover the truth behind the school's oldest ghost story. But after a routine detention, Ren sees a mysterious girl no one else can see. At the same time, the quiet and dependable class representative, Yui Kisaragi, discovers a strange symbol carved beneath the locked rooftop door, a symbol tied to a past she desperately wants to forget. Watching from the sidelines is Ace Kaneko, an observant student who doesn't believe in ghosts... but believes people always hide the truth. As Ren and Yui begin chasing separate mysteries, Ace starts noticing impossible coincidences linking them together. A forgotten classroom. A student who vanished decades ago. A rooftop that must never be opened. And a voice that only one person can hear. Some mysteries are meant to be solved. Others... should have stayed buried.

    For as long as she has lived with Father, Kaori has been taught to fear the Society for the Betterment of Humanity, the only group powerful enough, or arrogant enough, to challenge his power. But now Kaori finds herself in their clutches, her world falling to pieces around her. In the midst of her worst enemies, Kaori is forced to confront the demons of her past to escape the demon she is being tortured by now. Will she manage to escape, or at least find a way to survive a new existence, or will her past and present rip her apart? Heads up. There is swearing in this story. This story also contains illusions and later outright stated sexual assault (although there are minimal descriptions of the actual events), child abuse, and semi-graphic torture (nothing too gorry but the threat of mutilation). I will place disclaimers in front of each section when these things apply but you might not want to start the story if any of these things are triggering, as main aspects of the story will be missed when skipping these sections. Take care of yourself first, read a story later! I would also like to add. Elements of this story draw from cultures all over the world, but mainly Japan. While I will be doing my best to remain faithful to the mythology/belief systems of Japan and its people, I will be taking some creative liberties. If something doesn't perfectly match up, please take into consideration that: a) Creative liberties may have been taken b) Stories vary slightly from location to location and time period to time period c) while I am doing my best to research everything, I am not Japanese and there might be cultural nuances that I, as an American and a white person may not recognize. Another heads up. I have written some really weird stuff in my life, and this is the weirdest thing I have ever written but I'm having fun doing it so I'm going to keep writing it.
