🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
記憶の座標
Kioku no Zahyō
Coordinates of Memory
🎯 Theme:
Following the musical coordinates, Hana and Yuki travel to an overgrown forest trail. At its heart lies an old sundial encircled by mirrors — one of Aika’s secret installations.
As sunlight hits the dial at noon, mirrors reflect light onto a stone wall, revealing a projection of their childhood photo — digitally burned into the glass.
Aika had linked this spot with both sky and sound, embedding memories into the Earth itself.
📍 Setting:
- Forest clearing with sundial
- Noon sunlight filtering through trees
- Stone wall with faint lens setup
- Reflected images dancing on the surface
