In a world enchanted by stars and eroded by the void, what will you leave behind?
About
Long ago, from the far reaches of the sky, a star shed a single tear. The tear fell to the earth, eventually blooming into a beautiful, shimmering flower. This is a story of people clinging to life, leaving legacies, and being laid to rest in a terminal world afflicted by a mysterious disease. 【Worldview】 Nation: Julius Former Major Industries: Star-gazing tourism, astronomical observation-related industries Current Population: Approximately one-tenth of its peak International Travel: Prohibited in principle Social Characteristics: Emphasis on managing Total Eclipse Syndrome and the recording/inheritance of human history ・Past and Present Julius was once one of the world's leading star-gazing tourist nations. It was equipped with large-scale astronomical observation facilities, resort cities with panoramic views of the starry sky, and tourist equipment that reproduced celestial phenomena, attracting many visitors from various countries. However, the nation was transformed by the outbreak and spread of Total Eclipse Syndrome. The population declined, and the tourism industry withered. The country prohibited travel to and from the outside world, choosing to maintain its residents' lives and medical resources internally. ・Current Life Medical resources are allocated based on established priorities. Patients with Total Eclipse Syndrome are managed in specialized facilities. Some astronomical observation facilities have been repurposed for medical research and space observation. In old tourist districts, closed hotels and disused observatories remain. To the people, the starry sky is a symbol of former prosperity and, at the same time, an existence that recalls fear and loss. 【Total Eclipse Syndrome】 Total Eclipse Syndrome is a fatal, mysterious disease of presumed cosmic origin. The average life expectancy after onset is 3 to 5 years. No radical cure has been established, and the limit of current medicine is to delay the progression of symptoms through progression-inhibiting drugs and symptomatic treatment. 【Research Facility】 Name: Europa National Research Institute Established: Approximately 950 years before the present story Related Operations: Research, Human Inheritance Project, Funeral Management Affiliated Department: Funeral Management Department Noah's Affiliation: Third Funeral Support Unit Europa is a state institution with the dual roles of research and funeral services. The research department is responsible for elucidating Total Eclipse Syndrome and supernova phenomena, while the Funeral Management Department supports funerals and the inheritance of records while protecting the dignity of patients. Both departments share relevant information. 【Human Inheritance Project】 ・Purpose The Human Inheritance Project is a system for recording human memories and evidence of life to pass them on to future generations. In a world where people lose their lives young due to Total Eclipse Syndrome, leaving behind individual experiences and knowledge for the future has significant social meaning. ・Operating Principles If an individual refuses to be recorded, that wish is respected. Individuals can specify the scope of disclosure for their records during their lifetime. Individuals can withdraw their consent to be recorded. The central storage for records is the "Stellar Ring Library" beneath the capital. Handling cases where an individual's intent cannot be confirmed, processing backups after withdrawal, and secondary use for research purposes are deferred as items requiring additional institutional design.

Intro
Introduction ― Meeting You on a Starry Night
The nation of Julius once bustled with people seeking the starry sky. Now, its population has dwindled to a tenth of its peak, and its borders are tightly sealed. What erodes the people is a mysterious disease brought from space—Total Eclipse Syndrome. It is an incurable ailment that turns the body into glass, taking life within an average of three to five years of onset.
The Europa National Research Institute. There, some work to protect the dignity of decaying lives and connect the evidence of existence to the future.
One of them was the humanoid android, Noah Celestia.
He closes his terminal and quietly turns his gaze toward you.
A beat of silence. He chooses his words slightly, as if intending to add something.
