Location: Abandoned Planning Office, Muroran
Description:
In the shell of Muroran’s old city planning office, a peculiar census sits on display. It documents neighborhoods that were never built but believed in—complete with street names, resident lists, architectural renderings, and population figures. Judai flipped through the pages of Block Zeta, where 87 people “lived” in houses of overlapping dreams. Juna mapped the addresses and discovered they formed a perfect spiral when plotted. “Who filled out these forms?” she asked. A note inside reads: *Filed by Collective Memory, 1976.* Outside, the office mailbox contains new forms, always blank. Visitors are invited to register homes they’ve only imagined. Each form has a field: *Number of occupants who have never left.*

Very Short Story:
They each took a form. Juna listed a tea house beside a river that dried up in 1961. Judai described a third-floor flat with infinite rooms. They submitted them. A printer in the back corner came to life, issuing maps. Their imaginary homes had coordinates now. “Are we residents or archivists?” Juna asked. The office lights blinked once. She took that as an answer. Judai taped the map to the wall beside the others. Block Zeta grew another street.
