[[File:CG Phoenix.jpeg|right|435x435px]]
Over a week after the break-in, [[Sumire Hitori|Sumire]] remains missing with no sign of her return; the other members of [[STΔRLIVHT]] continue to practice, certain she'll return eventually, and [[Hitori]] grows used to the quiet. Afraid of letting Sumire's friends down, he dons Sumire's STΔRLIVHT outfit, despite his discomfort wearing it; he attempts to practice, and despite the words and moves coming to him, he is unable to bring himself to continue, and throws the outfit off.

Later on at the office, he announces to the rest of STΔRLIVHT that he will practice and perform with the group, determined to help his friends out. Practice goes smoothly, though as Hitori begins to doubt himself again, a powerful [[Noise Beast]] attacks, and Hitori attempts to take it on, but is too weak to fight it and is easily thrown back. Hitori realizes that by continuing to try to deny himself, he has denied his own power. Getting back up, he calls out to Sumire, stating that they'll get through this together like they always have, and she finally returns. Working together, they take on the Noise Beast, the two of them burning brighter than before.

Some time afterwards, [[Producer]] updates [[Beyond (NOISZ STΔRLIVHT)|Beyond]] on this development, and Beyond requests that Sumire be brought in for testing, citing her as an extremely powerful [[The NOISZ|NOISZ]] user. She states that while the test is nothing dangerous, the next phase of the project is due to begin. Producer expresses doubt on the aim of the project and the causes of [[the Silencing]], asking Beyond who she is and what she wants once more, bringing up the name "Arisa Antiphon", the name signed on STΔRLIVHT's scouting letter.

Beyond states that her end goal is revolution.
