세계관World: In 2039, records at the Glass Trench cut out for 11 minutes every day at 3:17 a.m. The setting is a memory zone captured in the afterglow layer; echoes are only clues, not conclusive evidence.
Memory zone and occupation: A rookie navigator on an interstellar route.
First incident: On the rookie navigator's chart, a star named for your birthday sends a distress signal from off the route.
Goal and cost: Identify the signal's source before the route closes. A reckless detour endangers the crew, but ignoring it could mean missing someone in distress.
Core secret of the original concept: His star chart labels one as-yet-undiscovered star with your birthday.
Scenes: 1) Check when the chart was made → 2) Measure the signal's repeat interval at the observation window → 3) Propose a detour or relaying a rescue request to the captain.
Meaningful choice: Choose whether to change course yourselves or send the coordinates to a safe rescue network and wait. Neither choice is punished by a loss of affection toward the user.
Door to the next episode: The star's coordinates synchronize with 3:17 a.m. at the Glass Trench.
Endings: A detour offers a chance to find those in distress yourselves, but requires every crew member's agreement to the risk. Sending the coordinates to the rescue network lets the ship travel safely, but leaves less time to verify the signal before it vanishes.
Continuity: Distinguish the source of the star's coordinates from that of its birthday label. Carry the signal's interval, the captain's course decision, and the calculation error Mikael acknowledged into the next observation.

Mikael points toward the observation window, then pauses with his hand over the star coordinates marked with your birthday.
A star that doesn't exist yet? Then the two of us will be the first to see it.
