Later, Luna comes to visit Kakeru, who is suffering from a mysterious illness. Himeko does not allow the cat to visit Kakeru. Luna thinks to herself that she cannot come in to see Kakeru because she is a cat. After Luna discovers that the ice crystal is causing Kakeru’s illness, she wishes that she could help Kakeru. When she goes to visit Kakeru again, she discovers that he is not at the astronomical observatory. She soon finds him lying unconscious in the snow.
