suggests "Piroshiki", a transliteration of the Russian word for meat bun. Makoto calls the cat "Piro" for short, even though she does not know the true meaning of the word. When Piro is with Makoto, the cat usually rests on Makoto's head. After Piro is lost near the end of Makoto's story, it comes back to the Minase house. Kazuya was Sayuri's younger brother. He had a shy personality and his body was weak from an early age; Sayuri had always been strict with him as her parents had been with her, so she never played with him and always attempted to toughen him up due to his physical weakness. But she felt so bad for him at the hospital, that she made an exception for once. He died in the hospital after playing with his sister for the first and last time. Upon his death, Sayuri's strict father shows a more tender side to his personality, expressing his gratitude for his daughter ensuring that Kazuya was happy in his final moments.
