Tsuyoshi tells Sana that Hayama's weakness is heights, but just as he is about to confess his love for Sana, the girls have to rush off to save Mami, who Hayama is trying to drown. Sana confronts Hayama, and he pins her up against the wall, telling her not to interfere anymore.

Regardless, Sana gets Tsuyoshi to pull down Hayama's trousers, at which point she takes the photo. After Hayama stops being a jerk, Sana discovers from Tsuyoshi that Hayama's mother died giving birth to him, which is why his family hates him. Coincidentally, Sana is doing a movie with a similar plot (where she plays a little girl, whose mother got <a href="/wiki/Terminal_illness" title="Terminal illness">terminally ill</a> after giving birth to her, and Asako plays an older sister who is abusive). After watching the movie, Hayama's family see how wrong they were, that Hayama's mother gave all of her love, even her life, so that Hayama could live. They start treating him better, and thank Sana helping them. Sana is 11 years old at the time. "The Hayamoth": Hayama plays a trick on the forest god, who punishes him by turning into a <a href="/wiki/Moth" title="Moth">moth</a>. Hayama turns Sana's mom, Misako, into a moth, too. As a result, Sana and Tsuyoshi go to find the Hayama Moth and are tricked several times. Meanwhile, when Sana and Tsuyoshi are shooting the Hayamoth, (which is no use because the Hayamoth and his clones are immortal) Misako takes a bath and is cured.</td></tr> <tr style="text-align: center;"><th scope="row" id="vol2" style="text-align: center; font-weight: normal; background-color: transparent;color: var( --color-base );">2</th><td> September 1995<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></td><td><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/978-4-08-853817-4" title="Special:BookSources/978-4-08-853817-4">978-4-08-853817-4</a></td><td>July 23, 2002<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></td><td><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/978-1-931514-51-4" title="Special:BookSources/978-1-931514-51-4">978-1-931514-51-4</a></td></tr><tr style="vertical-align: top;"><td colspan="5"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; background-color: transparent;color: var( --color-base ); table-layout: fixed; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"></tr></tbody><caption></caption><tbody><tr><td style="border: black;"> <ul><li>Chapters 6–10</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table> </td></tr><tr style="border-bottom: 3px solid #CCF; text-align: left;"><td colspan="5">In this book, Sana gets invited to have an interview with Asako Kurumi.
