Integral of Life
The graph is not a score. It is only a way to see where time is becoming experience and where it is passing without much entering.
One terrible point does not own the whole curve. One spectacular peak cannot carry a life forever either. Most of the area comes from ordinary days because there are so many of them.
Look again. You can now see the floor, the rupture, and the stretches that registered compared with the stretches that mostly passed.
