🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
星を見上げる約束
Hoshi o Miageru Yakusoku
Stargazers’ Promise
🎯 Theme:
Hana and Yuki visit the local school Aika once attended. There, they meet an old science teacher who remembers Aika’s stargazing club.
In the rooftop shed, they find the old club’s “Sky Journal” — filled with hand-drawn constellations, myths they made up, and plans for a “Star Festival” that never happened.
The final page was left blank. Hana and Yuki decide to finish it.
That night, they hold their own stargazing festival — just the two of them — lighting lanterns and sharing stories under the sky.
📍 Setting:
- Local school rooftop
- Small observatory shed
- A handwritten club notebook
- Quiet field with paper lanterns at night
