During [[Night Walk]], every time Play-Yan successfully makes a flower grow or other object appear, one of the stars in the background grows. If all of the stars are at their max size at the end of the game, the final box releases a small star which Play-Yan grabs on to. In the [[OK]] and [[Superb]] epilogues, Play-Yan is seen making friends with the stars.
