how much it moved you
Read from 35 comments — 10 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 10 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.
