His message to her says,"The girl in the story [The Star Money] is just like you, Sakura."

During the Christmas party, he, like everyone else, is saddened that Mikan really couldn't come to the party and sees Natsume leave to go look for her. He later finds Natsume laying in the snow and asks if he's going somewhere again. Ruka is thrilled that Natsume and Mikan were able to see each other and says Christmas is amazing.
