Part 2
After school...
Planetarium
The brightest stars in the sky are most viewable in the dry winter night.
The constellation Orion houses the shining red Betelguese. To its left is Canis Minor, home to the hot white Procyon.
Below them lies the head of Canis Major. There, the star Sirius shines light blue.
...Light blue.
The color difference in stars is dependent on the surface temporature. The bluer the star, the hotter its surface temperature...
Grand Stage
...
Tomori.
...Raana-chan.
What's up?
Uhm, I was at the planetarium.
Hm.
Oh...! You like konpeito?
I do.
Well... Here. If you want.
Okie.
Ah... There's this one, though. Light blue, surrounded by the pink...!
?
Odd, right...
You think?
Uh...
I liked it.
Wanna go see cats?
Oh... Sure...
Residential Area
Cats, you good?
Nice. Nice.
Mm...
(The pink and light blue.)
(The cats and Raana-chan.)
(—The many, and the odd one out.)
...Um, Raana-chan!
What?
The light blue... You ate it. Said it wasn't odd.
Why...?
...
Every color's different.
...Huh?
A calico here, a calico there.
Both calicos, but both different.
...I see.
So's the pink.
The pink... konpeito?
Yup. Dark, bright, a lot more.
They're all tasty.
...
That means, I...
Hmm...
Never seen anything like Tomori.
...!?
But.
You're interesting.
...! Yeah!

...
So did you like the konpeito?
They were all tasty, weren't they?
...Yeah.
Not odd at all.
?
I might be alone.
I might be the only one.
I might never fit in with the other colors.
But, even so...
I'll scream that I'm here.
The song of a lost star.
