🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
星を見送る
Hoshi o Miokuru
Stargazers’ Farewell
🎯 Theme:
The journal’s final entry glows: “It’s time to go back.” Hana and Yuki descend the mountain with heavy hearts but full spirits. They return to the old town observatory—now covered in vines and frost.
There, they leave behind their own message in the star journal:
“We walked your sky. Thank you for lighting our path.”
The projector, now dim, flickers one last time. The constellation of three stars appears—Aika, her father, and one unnamed star. Yuki whispers:
“That last one… it’s her wish for us.”
📍 Setting:
- Old observatory at dusk
- Book under starlight
- Final shot of constellation turning
