Season 2 Ending Sequence
VISUAL SEQUENCE STARTS
- Black Screen, then slow fade-in to a dimly lit temple interior. Soft embers drift through the darkness. A single, half-broken lantern swings gently.
- Siege stands alone at the temple’s threshold, eyes closed. The wind catches the strands of her hair. She clutches a small fragment of stone from her prison. As the music swells, she opens her eyes and steps forward into the light.
- Trent paces through the silent courtyard of Narasato Gauken after hours. He pauses at a memorial photo of Yumi posted near the faculty bulletin board. A ghost of a smile crosses his face—sad, determined. He clenches a note in his hand, then tucks it under the photo before walking away.
- Miyuki sits on the roof, hugging her knees with her face buried. A gentle breeze blows pink petals around her. Slowly, Nick appears behind her, placing a quiet hand on her shoulder. She looks up, eyes puffy but shining with gratitude. They share a small, hopeful nod.
- Nick is next shown drifting through a silent corridor. Shadows of the past flicker on the walls—images of Yumi, the Starfall, a swirl of memories. He closes his eyes, and time seems to freeze for a moment. When it resumes, he exhales, stepping into the next hallway with renewed resolve.
- Yosuke is in the old gym, rummaging through sports equipment. He finds a dusty soccer ball and bounces it on his knee. As the music’s tempo rises, he kicks it across the empty gym—straight into a battered net, then laughs, though his grin is tinged with longing.
- Yoshie stands on a balcony of the Kaneko Estate, gazing over the nighttime city lights. The wind lifts her hair as she places a hand against the glass door. A fleeting glimpse of her late brother Daiki’s portrait reflects in the window. Her expression softens from its usual regal disdain to quiet vulnerability.
- Reika appears near the student council office. Papers swirl around her feet—disciplinary forms, duty rosters, official documents. She lifts a single page to eye level, scanning it coldly, then lets it slip from her hand. The camera tilts up, focusing on her unwavering stare as the door behind her closes.
- Siege reappears, now walking through Narasato’s streets at dusk, hammer hidden beneath a cloak. She pauses by a canal, watching fireflies flicker over the water. A memory of Yumi flashes—a gentle smile—before Siege exhales and continues onward, steeling herself.
- Wide Shot: The entire group scattered across different parts of Narasato—some alone, some in pairs, but all under the same sky. The camera pans upward, revealing the Aurora-like shimmer of starfall remnants twinkling above.
- Final Frame: A faint image of Yumi Nishino’s silhouette superimposed over the night sky, smiling softly. The shot lingers as the song’s final notes echo.
