Threads of Sky and Time

🎯 Theme: At an old textile shop run by a blind woman named Tane-san, Hana finds a tapestry stitched with constellations. It turns out Tane-san was once friends with Aika’s mother and used to hear stories of the night sky embroidered into cloth.

Each star on the fabric marks a story, and Tane invites them to add their own. As Hana sews her own small silver star, she says: “So we don’t forget what we saw.”
