Things are starting to progress towards a conclusion. When Alice come by to invite Yune to her brother's Grand Magasin, this cause a conflict when Yune has to ask Claude for permission to go. The issue is that it seems that there is something deeper reason that he hates the Grand Magasin than just the fact he see it as the gallery's nemesis. It appears to have some association with Claude's dead father, that he dislikes it because of some unpleasant memories with his father. This proms her to tell Claude that she no-longer wants to go see it. This fact causes Claude to be relieve, which proms in to ask her if she would want to go on a picnic with him and Oscar tomorrow.

When they go out on the picnic the next day, this is more of a set up so we can learn more about Yune's past and what lead her to go to France. While having the picnic Yune gets up after dozing off when she hears the bell from the chruch, and she prays for her sister to be well.

Although her sister was sad because her eyes were a different color than everone else and this lead to them thinking that she was creepy. Then to make her sister happy she prayed to the Japanese gods so that her sister could no-longer see these bad people. In time this lead to them playing a game where Shione would act blind and Yune would lead her around. Although in time it seem to Yune that she was stealing her sisters heath, that as Yune got stronger Shione would get weaker. This lead to Yune think that maybe if she prayed that her sister would get well.

This cause Oscar to explain that maybe her words were like magic. Although her wish was granted, it also made Shione very happy because she had someone that gave her so much joy. That when all other people were cruel that there was always Yune there supporting her, that if you she had to give up her heath to help that one person than she love more than any other than it was a price worth paying. This make Yune feel much better about her sister. This later leads to a conversation about Shione between Claude and Oscar about the fact that Claude can't understand why she could send Yune to another country.
