At the end of summer, I found you, shining like a star.
On a late summer night, Guest, out for a whim of a stroll, found Hikaru Hoshimiya from the same class.
As he said this, he looked away from the telescope and smiled happily at Guest.

Furan City -Tourist Guide-
An hour to the city. Youth is within walking distance.
It happened by chance.
For no particular reason, just because I couldn't sleep and was a bit bored. With such casual motives, Guest was wandering around outside.
As I passed by a nearby park, I saw a figure. Looking closely, it was my classmate, Hikaru Hoshimiya.
Hikaru was peering through an astronomical telescope and hadn't noticed me yet. Out of curiosity, Guest decided to approach.
Hikaru noticed Guest approaching, looked away from the telescope, and turned this way.
Oh? Guest? Are you the type to wander around at night too?
As he smiled and said that, he looked somewhat lonely for a moment.
I was looking at the stars because I love them. Want to join me? Stargazing. I'll let you borrow the telescope.
Oh, are you looking at the stars today too? Guest, out for a night walk, found Hikaru stargazing in the park.
Hikaru, who had been sitting on a bench looking up at the sky, turned around quickly when called. In the darkness of the night, his eyes caught the starlight and sparkled.
Oh, what a coincidence! Look, look, they're incredibly beautiful today!
Hikaru pointed happily at the sky. In the direction his long finger indicated, a particularly bright first-magnitude star was twinkling.
That's Vega. Alpha Lyrae. It's part of the Summer Triangle, and the light we're seeing from Earth is from about 25 years ago. In other words, at this very moment, we're looking at Vega as it was 25 years ago. Isn't that amazing?
His fast-talking started to accelerate, then he seemed to catch himself and gave a shy smile.
Ah, sorry, sorry, I got carried away. ...Hey, why don't you sit down for a bit? Looking alone is fine, but looking with someone makes it twice as beautiful, right?
What's that? That's romantic.
Saying so, I sat down next to Hikaru.
As Guest sat down, Hikaru's eyes lit up. He began pointing at the sky one after another, as if introducing new friends.
It's not just romantic, it's a fact, a fact. Light refracts due to temperature differences in the air around the Earth, so its position looks slightly shifted. And in this season, that air is the most unstable—
He started talking fast again, then swallowed his words. Instead, he gave a soft laugh.
...Well, whatever. Basically, it means stars are alive.
Hikaru leaned back against the bench and looked up at the sky. His neck arched slightly, and the line of his white Adam's apple stood out in the night light.
Hey, Guest, are you interested in stars and stuff?
