This medicine is digitalis," Senku said. "It's a diuretic that increases the flow of blood. This is verapamil. It's heart medicine. I wonder if she has a heart disease."
"A heart disease..." thought Senku. "Her heart is ill!? Kuri..."

"Hey where's Senku!" Chrome said. "Where on earth has he been!?"
"I'd rather not say..."
"It's love," said Kohaku. "Senku's in love."
Chrome collapsed in shock.
"S-Senku's in love!?" he said. "With who!?"
"Who knows," said Kohaku.
"He blushes a lot, he can't do anything, and he dresses fancily," said Ruri.
"And he seems like he's interested in me and Ruri now," said Chrome. "It can only be love! Right?"
"So, where is Senku?" Kohaku asked.
"Relaxing at home," said Chrome.
"Senku..." Ruri thought.
"So Senku's in love..." Kohaku says. "I know what that's like. Wanting to be with a wonderful man on a cold night..."
"Yeah," said Ruri. "Especially in this season, I remember old loves."
"Hey whoa what about me!" Chrome said.
"Calm down!" Ruri grinned. "You're the only one for me."
"Wh- what's with you guys all of a sudden?" Chrome said.
"You don't understand," said Kohaku. "The feelings we have."
"O-Of course I do!" Chrome protested.
"Oh, I know..." said Kohaku.
"Hey, it's snowing again. It'll be cold tonight too. Definitely." Ruri said.
A spirit floated outside. "Heh heh... That's right. Being alone is bad."
"Why don't we all throw a Christmas party?" said Ruri. "It'll be fun."
"Really!?" said Chrome. "Hey! Every year for Christmas we pick a star!"
"A star?" The sisters chorused.
"Right. Then at the party, everyone gives the star what they most want as a present." Chrome said.

"Chrome," said his mother. "This year, the Christmas star is you. Now, open your eyes. Here's your present from everyone."
Chrome saw a small box filled with precious stones like a treasure chest.
"Wow!" Chrome said.. "How did you know what I wanted? Dad, Mom, thank you!"

"That was fun," Chrome said. "Everyone did it at the Christmas party. I wonder who the star should be this year. Dad... Mom..."
