Star Tears Disease

Like Hanahaki disease, the cause of Star Tears (星涙病) is a situation of unrequited love by the person you love.

When a person cries star tears, a sound accompanies it. (What sound this is happening to be unspecified. Twinkling, or jingling sound,... etc....). If the symptoms are severe/the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, their photoreceptors cease to function and they go color blind. In rare cases, they may also suffer memory loss.

The star tears have color and shine/twinkle when they fall. (Perhaps the eventual color-blindness is because the star tears have color when shed.)

The way to heal from star tear disease, or at least to stop it, is naturally to have your feelings returned and be with the one you love.

Her vision turned blurry due to the flowing tears. Many colorful stars, accompanied by a twinkling sound, started to fall out of her eyes.

"Star tears disease huh?"

Her distant gaze shifted away from the stars that were piling up in the palm of her hands, her lips parted:

"So... this is the price of loving you."
