The next day at the hospital, Potpourri came by Itsuki, making her freak out. However, Itsuki sees her brother trembling. It is revealed that Satsuki is afraid of what will happen after the eventual successful operation, and fears the changes that will happen.

Sasorina catches this fear through his wilting Heart Flower, and decides to steal it and fuse it with his wheelchair to make a Desertrian.

Itsuki, Tsubomi, and Erika founded out that Satsuki was missing, but revealed that he is taken by Sasorina. Pretty Cure try to fight it, but are useless.
