🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
雨のように降った手紙
Ame no Yō ni Futta Tegami
Letters That Fell Like Rain
🎯 Theme:
Rain pours as Hana and Yuki visit the rooftop one last time to test the online archive. While there, the wind blows open a forgotten cabinet — dozens of letters fly out, scattering across the rooftop.
Each is written to a different person: old classmates, teachers, even strangers Aika met once. All were never sent.
They sit under the small roof, reading letter after letter — realizing how deeply Aika noticed, remembered, and cherished even the smallest encounters.
Hana picks one addressed to her… sealed with a drawing of a star.
📍 Setting:
- Rain-soaked rooftop
- Small shelter with benches
- Letters scattered across the ground
- Close-up of paper soaked in ink
