🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
空ノートの始まり
Sora Nōto no Hajimari
Sky Diary Begins
🎯 Theme:
Nao—the quiet girl who once asked if stars get lonely—has started keeping a “Sky Diary.”
Inspired by Aika’s story and Hana’s stargazing club, she decides to write one small entry each night about the sky.
But one day, she notices something strange:
A bright point in the sky that wasn’t on any chart.
She circles it in her diary and names it herself: “Yoru no Shizuku” (Night’s Drop).
Her curiosity awakens.
She borrows star books, asks questions at the observatory, and even emails an astronomy professor.
As she begins this journey of stargazing and self-discovery, Hana quietly watches—never interrupting, only encouraging.
The sky has welcomed a new dreamer.
📍 Setting:
- Rooftop apartment where Nao watches the stars
- School library corner with books about constellations
- A quiet observatory evening where Nao stands alone with her notebook
- A mysterious, bright star (or object) visible for a few seconds
