๐ŸŽฎ Episode 150: โ€œWhere All the Threads Meetโ€

๐Ÿœ Japanese Title:
็ณธใŒ็ตใฐใ‚Œใ‚‹ๅ ดๆ‰€
Ito ga Musubareru Basho
Where All the Threads Meet


๐ŸŽฏ Theme:
At the edge of a quiet field is a tree with hundreds of colored threads tied to its branches. Each thread comes from someone who followed part of Aikaโ€™s journey.

Hana and Yuki tie their own thread โ€” red and white โ€” then stand back. The tree is no longer a memorial, but a living monument of connections across time, space, and language.


๐Ÿ“ Setting:

  • Wide meadow with wind gently swaying
  • Central tree adorned with thread
  • Nearby box with stories left behind
