Shoko invites Seigi to a mineral show and asks for his number. A young boy, Hajime, brings a gem to the shop Richard identifies as a Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye, and asks to purchase a second one. Richard fetches several made from Apatite and Tourmaline and explains how cat’s eyes contain Rutile, which creates the pattern. Hajime rejects them for being the wrong colour. Seigi determines Hajime wants them to represent a real cat. Hajime admits he adopted a stray cat named Milk, who saved their lives by predicting future events, but his father inexplicably got rid of him. Hajime’s mother is in hospital with pregnancy complications and his father gave him the cat’s eye to replace Milk’s protection, causing Hajime to seek out another for his mother. Seigi suggests Hajime’s father may not realise how upset Hajime is. Hajime’s father Yasaka arrives, Richard having called him as Yasaka had purchased the first cat’s eye from Richard. Yasaka finally explains that Milk had a parasite called Toxoplasma which is dangerous to pregnant women, so he gave Milk to his secretary, planning to retrieve him after the baby was born. Richard explains that Hajime’s gem is known as a “Honey and Milk” and Yasaka selected it especially for Hajime. Yasaka promises not to keep secrets from Hajime again and they leave satisfied. Seigi is impressed with Richard’s recall of previous customers but is shocked to learn Hajime’s gem is worth 10 million yen.
