It is Miyu's first Christmas at the Saionji household, and she finds out that Kanata has never celebrated Christmas–which also happens to be his birthday. He steadfastly refuses to do so for religious reasons, particularly because his father is a Buddhist monk. Hosho himself returns to Japan, and finds out that Wanya and Ruu are aliens. He tells Kanata that it is all right to celebrate Christmas, before leaving again for Tibet. Kanata and Miyu then celebrate Christmas with Ruu and Wannya.
