🇯🇵 Japanese Title:
光が残る場所
Hikari ga Nokoru Basho
Where the Light Remains
🎯 Theme:
One final journal page glows faintly — Aika’s last entry, unread until now. It speaks not of stars, but of the people she met. The way they made her laugh, cry, and feel seen.
“Even if no one remembers my name, the light they gave me… it’ll stay in the sky.”
Hana and Yuki print the journal, archive the voice messages, and walk together as morning begins to rise.
Not an ending — a continuation. Their story now.
📍 Setting:
- Faint sunrise through library windows
- Archived printout bound in a red cover
- Empty streets lit by early morning gold
- Hana and Yuki walking side by side, smiling
