==Story Context==
After [[Hakuno Nekoda|Hakuno]] is forcibly outed by [[Yashiro Nekoda|Yashiro]], [[Sumire Hitori|Sumire]] steps outside to clear her head. While [[Hitori]] attempts to calm her down, the two are attacked by a grotesque Noise Beast.

==Level Gimmicks==
This level is heavily horror themed, from obscuring your vision to altering the drop speed of notes suddenly. In verse 2 there is a walking section where you must dodge bullets to find a sequence of numbers you must input at the end of the section. At the end of the song, the boss will approach you and deal heavy damage if it hits you. To fend it off, you must tap it repeatedly until it vanishes.

On Easy, the horror elements are heavily downplayed, with most of the creepy visuals being replaced with [[“What” the Cat|What The Cat]].

==Strategies==
On Hard v3, the bullet pattern at the beginning of the Verse is always the same. It can be split into groups, to make it easier to remember:

First group:
* Center
* Left, 3 times
* Right, 4 times

Second group:
* Left, then right, 4 times

Third group:
* Both, then left
* Both, then right
* Both, then left
* Both

After these three groups, a long red bullet (Long Dennis) will show up and follow the player along the screen.

halved halved halved<br/>
<br/>
i don't know what i was supposed to be anymore<br/>
i don't know what i ever wanted to be anymore<br/>
conducted by ghosts, everted by fate<br/>
the fire of criticality burns ever brighter<br/>
<br/>
halved halved halved<br/>
<br/>
utopia mutilates me

==Trivia==
*The enemy has a 1/20 chance to appear uncensored on Hard, and a 1/5 chance to appear uncensored on Overload.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/626529477865766933/846438516115636254/1191076996634136716 TaroNuke on the NOISZ SL Discord]</ref>
*During the introduction pattern, after each blink animation, there is a 1/50 chance for the bullets to appear blue.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=7143 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
**Originally, TaroNuke had wanted the introduction bullets to have a 1/50 chance to turn into Void bullets; however, this suggestion was ultimately scrapped.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=7152 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*During the free roam section, each time a bullet spawner fires a kunai, it has a 1/100 chance to be directly targeted at the player character.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=7206 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*At one point, halved halved halved had a certain note shader that had to be removed due to inconsistent display across many devices.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6846 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*The enemy of halved halved halved was the first enemy for which story context was provided to the [[Noise Beast]] illustrator, Yotty Kim, during the design process.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=7099 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*Long Dennis, the official name of the elongating round bullet that chases the player on Normal and above, is a reference to a recurring character in the YouTube creator Caddicarus' videos.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6159 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref> Long Dennis debuted in ''The Useless World of PS1 Accessories - Caddicarus''.<ref>[https://youtu.be/UaJZgCkUWBE?t=2789 Long Dennis Debut in The Useless World of PS1 Accessories]</ref>
**Internally, Long Dennis is called a "Bullet Game Object Long."<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6270 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*(Easy) Spinning Daniel ''(see [[“What” the Cat#Spinning Daniel]])'' uses the same player tracking code as Long Dennis.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6235 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
**In order to do this, Spinning Daniel, which is a "Taro Bullet" (or a bullet using Lua functions to control various aspects like scaling, rotation, and sprite replacement), uses a Taro Bullet property called "IsDennis."<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6259 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
*This song was originally hinted at in the form of a puzzle solution to	the puzzle contained in the NEWSZ stream on August 5th through	August 6th of 2023.
**The first portion of the puzzle, a continuous list of cards, spelled out the artists names for the [[NOISZ STΔRLIVHT/Story#True Heroes Chapters|True Heroes Chapter 5]] songs, and for halved halved halved, it was “FRUMS” and “HUNDOTTE.”
*This song was Frums' and Hundotte's first time collaborating on a composition.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XxnOsDrP-JE?t=6368 LIVHTing OUR WAY into NOISZ STARLIVHT True Heroes - The Corner Cab Eps. 13]</ref>
