🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
星の回路
Hoshi no Kairo
Circuit of Stars
🎯 Theme:
The log from Iceland isn’t just a message—it’s a map.
Aika’s “Circuit of Stars” was her plan to connect seven observatories across the globe in a time-synced pattern that would simulate a memory loop in the atmosphere—a literal echo of the past projected in the sky.
The map shows:
- Japan 🇯🇵
- Argentina 🇦🇷
- Iceland 🇮🇸
- Kenya 🇰🇪
- India 🇮🇳
- Canada 🇨🇦
- ??? (Unmarked — only a blank pin)
Each point has a timestamp and phase number.
Nao realizes:
“It’s not just a network.
It’s a sky-based archive.”
And Leo adds:
“If we activate them in order… maybe we’ll see what she wanted us to see.”
The club starts planning:
- Who will travel where?
- What systems still work?
- And who can be trusted with the final key?
📍 Setting:
- Clubroom covered in printouts and yarn lines
- Ancient schematic diagrams drawn by Aika
- Email threads to researchers worldwide
- A mysterious eighth pin with no name
