The next morning, the Governess tells the boy that she's sorry that he's not wearing his old clothes. She asks him why he doesn't live with his family, and he says that his father didn't come home from work to get his cigarettes. The Governess is sorry that she pushed him away, but she can't figure out why he'd want to leave her alone with another guy. She tells him that he has to tell her what he wants, and that she has to talk to him, because she'll have to tell him what she wants, too. The boy is worried that he won't be able to sleep, and she tells him to wake up. He's worried that the meteor shower will show up again, or that he hasn't seen the meteors yet. She says that if he loves the stars as much as she does, he'll sacrifice himself to watch them with her.
