The local school is the venue of another important cultural event, this time it being the shooting of a movie. The making for the full-length motion picture calls for a whole crew in addition to actors. As expected, Tory and Julian are given starring roles in the ambitious project. The director, who happens to be Ruby, takes a fancying to Sakura, also granting her a role in the process. The heroine is excited about her chance to perform, though her exhilaration is short-lived when she notices that Julian is losing physical presence and is vanishing. The frantic unfolding of the events proceeding from this observation culminate with Julian dropping off from a balcony. For a moment it seems that it may be curtains for Julian, but Tory appears below and breaks his fall. After a string of failed attempts to reveal to Julian to secret about his friend's alter ego, he finally does it, dressing down Ruby in the next breath when the meddlesome woman makes a failed move to butt into their conversation. Tory then makes a heroic decision to keep his friend in possession of magical faculties: he forsakes his own power to save him, which means that he must lose his power to sense when Sakura's safety is threatened. Stripped of his power, Tory wants some reassurance from You-Wei, demanding that he protect both him and Sakura from here on. Fate has it that Sakura is to overhear the exchange, realising that Tory knew everything all along. A wronged Sakura goes to demand explanation from Kero, who simply tells her that he didn't want her to be aware of it, as bearing the brunt of all the responsibility would have caused her to behave irrationally. The sight of Julian vanishing also proves to be much for Sakura to endure for a second time, so she rushes over to him and confesses her love to him, relieving her of the weight of her concealed feelings.
