🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
空のコード
Sora no Kōdo
The Sky Code
🎯 Theme:
While reading through more of Aika’s old notebook, Nao discovers something unusual:
Certain star charts have marks—tiny constellations circled in specific sequences, and faint dots in the margins that don’t seem random.
Hana remembers Aika used to joke,
“The stars have their own language—if you listen long enough, you’ll hear it.”
Nao lays the pages out under a transparent overlay and connects the dots.
They form symbols—characters in a hidden star-code, like constellations spelling words.
One message reads:
“見ていてくれてありがとう”
(Thank you for watching.)
And another:
“夜のしずくは記憶を運ぶ舟。”
(“Yoru no Shizuku is a boat that carries memories.”)
Could this be what Aika left behind?
A secret celestial message system?
As Nao stares at the night sky, she wonders:
If the stars are writing… who else might be reading?
📍 Setting:
- Observatory floor, scattered with overlapping star maps
- Old planetarium projection room, dim and dusty
- Night sky mirrored in glass windows
- Nao sketching her own version of the sky code
