🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
隠された旋律
Kakusareta Senritsu
The Hidden Melody
🎯 Theme:
Back in the city, the group analyzes the rest of Aika’s melody. One missing note seems to break the sequence.
Until Hana realizes: the “missing” note is a pause — a deliberate silence.
When they play the full pattern, it unlocks an old piano inside their university’s music building. The keys glow in a sequence as if remembering her touch.
A hidden compartment opens, revealing Aika’s final music sheet, titled:
“空に触れるまで” — Until We Touch the Sky
📍 Setting:
- Empty university music hall
- Grand piano under spotlight
- Dust particles glowing in stillness
- Piano lid opening with creak
