"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.

The becoming of a God, of who flowers bloom at their gaze and stars shine within their grasp. And yet they can't help but regret ascension. This is a prequel to a series I'm working on, it's intended to be structured like haru telling their life story to another person. Some words in this story will be fictional, as I made up (two) entire languages for this series, I will attempt to give the meaning at the end of the chapters, but I've been working on this series for so long, that these words have become apart of my everyday vocabulary, so I may forget it's a word I made up. I use pretty flowery language, so if you don't know any of the words I use or why they are used in that way, just ask in the comments. I'll try to respond as quickly as possible!
