The scene opens in the Astronomer's room, where the two students are discussing the constellations. The two are about to watch the constellations together, but the narrator interrupts them to tell them that it's the last time they'll watch them together. He's sick of hearing them talk about their feelings, and he wants to tell him that he likes him. He wants to confess his feelings to him, but he's afraid that he'll get into trouble if he does. The narrator tells him that the constellations are named spica and seria, and that he should try pointing out the constellations to get the names right. He also tells the students that they're going to be the only members of the club next year, because they love each other so much. He asks why they joined the club first, and they both admit that it was because of their love for each other. They also admit that they haven't been able to tell each other that they like each other as much as they used to, because the narrator hasn't told him the truth about his feelings. They're both sad that they won't be able to say the same thing to each other in the future, because it'll be too hard for them to be friends.
