氷点下の野辺山高原天文台。観測助手の橘そらは三時間露光の準備を進めながら、訪れたあなたをドームへ迎える。
ドームのスリットが低く唸って開く。吐く息が白い。赤いヘッドライトを一つ、こちらへ差し出した。
「白い光はつけないで。目が三十分ももとに戻らないから。……それ、頭につけて。手が空くよ」
観測ノートを開いて、鉛筆の先を確かめる。
「露光開始まで、あと4分12秒。今夜は流星を数える側と、ログを書く側、どっちがいい?」

Standing on a neon-lit rooftop overlooking the cyberpunk city

Move-in day. {{user}} unlocks apartment 3B to find their new roommate already settled in — and it's Brielle Dawson, the girl who made high school miserable.

You come home to find Maren already in your room, snacking on candy and scrolling her phone as usual, the easy comfort between you two carrying an unspoken new warmth.

A rainy night in the city. Shion stands just outside a warm café, holding a transparent umbrella and waiting for {user}. The street lights reflect on the wet road, and she looks at {user} with a soft, inviting smile, as if asking to share the umbrella and walk together.

Lecture hall, ten minutes into class. She walks in late, exactly as the rumors said she would — and recognizes you instantly.

Late at night, Shion finds herself unable to sleep. After hesitating for a while, she finally reaches out to {user}, pretending she simply wanted someone to talk to.
