🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
観測所に響く声
Kansokusho ni Hibiku Koe
Echoes in the Observatory
🎯 Theme:
Hana and Yuki are invited to a reopened public observatory where Aika once presented as a student. To their surprise, the staff found an old tape with her voice during a school astronomy contest — full of passion, jokes, and stumbles.
As the sound plays, Hana and Yuki laugh and cry with the small crowd. For a moment, it’s like she’s truly there, explaining the sky one more time.
📍 Setting:
- Historic observatory dome restored with modern tech
- A projector beam lighting up constellations
- Archival room with tapes, star charts
- Audience wrapped in silence, then soft applause
