=Story=
As black swords from the smoke are heading towards Sera, Grace sacrifices herself by pushing Sera away and taking the hit from the swords. Flashbacks of Grace and Sera together play as she takes the hit. Fatally wounded, she unleashes one last NOISZ Burst at Gaius. She then says her final words to Sera and they kiss one last time before she dies.

After the smoke clears, a young version of Gaius appears, saying that he still has countless lives left to go. Sera, enraged by Grace's death, declares she will kill him as many times as it takes to avenge Grace, and begins to attack him once again with Sumire and Hakuno standing with her.

The story ends with an unknown speaker, presumably [[Beyond (NOISZ STΔRLIVHT)|"Beyond"]], noting that yet another cycle has ended and that she believes one day, the truth will break through the endless darkness, though notes they are running out of time, and prays this moment will be soon. This marks the end of NOISZ STΔRLIVHT “False Timeline“ and teases the next story arc, [[NOISZ STΔRLIVHT True Heroes|NOISZ STΔRLIVHT “True Heroes”]].
