🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
ポケットの星図
Poketto no Seizu
Sky Map in Her Pocket
🎯 Theme:
Back in town, Yuki repairs an old projector slide they found at the cabin — it contains a starmap drawn by Aika herself. What’s strange is: it doesn’t match any modern constellation.
When overlaid on the current night sky, the map reveals a coded message. Hana remembers Aika’s pocket notebook, always at her side. Inside is the key: each dot represented not just a star, but a memory.
The stars light up in sequence — each dot linking to one of the places Hana and Yuki visited. It’s a personal map, a final trail leading them not to a place — but to a feeling: home.
📍 Setting:
- Rooftop with stars overhead
- Old school science room with a projector
- Flashback scenes from the places in earlier episodes
- Quiet walk through town at night
