"5 Centimeters per Second" is a masterpiece by director Makoto Shinkai.

The catchphrase is "The Speed of Cherry Petals Falling Down."

But for me, as a senior, "5 Centimeters per Second" is

"The speed at which I, having suffered an upset back, head for the restroom"

# I just ran a verification simulation and it seems to be much slower (around 1 centimeter per second

Note that this speed calculation does not include the time between arrival at the restroom and removal of clothing and seating on the toilet seat (which further reduces the speed).

Eventually, you will know -- that intense pain that makes you unable to breathe.
