🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
星の間の音
Hoshi no Aida no Oto
The Sound Between Stars
🎯 Theme:
Following the sonic clue from Aika’s voice, Hana and Yuki head to a planetarium that once hosted Aika’s sound installation.
Inside, an old speaker array and light dome remain. When powered on, constellations light up and a coded melody plays—a pattern of notes matching stars.
They realize: each musical note corresponds to a star. Aika turned a star map into a melody, and the order of the notes forms coordinates.
The melody leads to one final marked location.
Yuki smiles:
“She mapped the sky… and now we hear it.”
📍 Setting:
- Abandoned city planetarium
- Ceiling dome with constellations
- Broken projector, fixed with effort
- Soft lights pulsing in rhythm
