🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
星明かりの下で待ってる
Hoshiakari no Shita de Matteru
Waiting Beneath the Starlight
🎯 Theme:
With the photograph and the wind’s message in hand, Hana and Yuki travel to a remote highland where the sky is clearest.
There, an old astronomy cabin once used by Aika’s mentor reveals itself under the stars.
Inside, constellations are etched across the ceiling, and a mechanical projector comes to life with Aika’s voice as narration.
As the stars turn above, a final story unfolds: about three dreamers who once vowed to “map the sky with memories.”
When the final constellation aligns, a drawer opens. Inside: Aika’s voice recorder—her last unsent message.
📍 Setting:
- Grassy hill under a wide open night sky
- Abandoned wooden stargazing cabin
- A field lit only by moonlight and fireflies
- Rooftop platform with a view of the galaxy
