On the seventh night of the cherry blossom festival, the two young lovers hold hands in a soliloquy in which they express their love for one another. The narrator tells us that the sky is blue and the wind is blowing, and that the two of them are tired. They hold hands until they feel the coldness of their hearts has passed, and then they hold hands again until the wind stops blowing. When the narrator asks where his flowers are, the young man replies that he is not giving her flowers anymore. He says that since he has decided to keep the flower in his heart, he should not say anything out loud that might cause her to run away. He tells her to stop looking for him, because he has a fiancee, and she should stop coming to look for him. The festival is about to begin, and the young men change into their new clothes and head out to the ball. The young man asks why there are bloody handprints and why there is something wrong with him. He asks if there is anything wrong with the midnight star in his body, which is actually the mercury gene fragment in his family's blood. He also asks why they are making him drink the illegal drug, which will make him violent. He then asks if they have a way to stop the power of the midnight stars in his blood, and they tell him that there is nothing they can do. They will have to keep a secret from school, and he says that if he hadn't been so weak that he had to save him, he would never have awakened the star inside him.
