Chapter 0

Sumire adjusts to STΔRLIVHT's new management under Producer and Beyond after they are all provided with the NOISZ/RS to fight Noise Beasts, and Sumire grows closer to the rest of the group, despite not revealing any of her secrets to the group.

Chapter 1

In Chapter 1.II, Sumire disagrees with Sera over her handling of the new song, though is interrupted by a news update set via alert on her phone reporting that Eito Hojo, the abusive ex-boyfriend of her sister Yumi Hitori, has been released from prison on good behaviour, Sumire makes a hasty exit after the shock forces Hitori to front in her place. Hakuno follows to find Hitori instead of Sumire; Hakuno offers her support, and the two decide to wait a little bit longer to tell the rest of STΔRLIVHT about Hitori. Hitori continues in Sumire's place in Chapter 1.III while Sumire continues talking to him in his head, teasing him about his reactions to things. However, Hitori is uncomfortable with dancing and wearing Sumire's outfit and decides not to go to practice; Hitori goes outside and encounters a Noise Beast, and Sumire syncs up with him using the NOISZ to do so. It takes a toll on them, however, and Hitori decides to go home. A week later, Sumire has recovered and is back in control in Chapter 1.IV, and claims to not remember much of the previous week.

Chapter 2

In the wake of Firebird's attacks on serial abusers, Sumire and Grace discuss whether the vigilante's actions are justified, though are cut short by Hakuno and Sera wishing to focus on practice in Chapter 2.I. In Chapter 2.II, Sumire comforts Hakuno after her fight with her sister Shion, and advises her on moving on from her past with her family, as well as in Chapter 2.III when Hakuno is unable to call her NOISZ to battle a Noise Beast.

Chapter 3

Hitori wakes up to an extremely concerned STΔRLIVHT in Chapter 3.I, and is forced to explain the truth about himself to the group, with Hakuno's assistance. Sera and Grace take this in stride and discuss arrangements - though, unable to hear Sumire in his head, Hitori turns down the possibility of dancing with them, and Sumire remains missing for over a week. Hitori still struggles with the situation and the nature of his existence, however, and begins to worry about letting Sumire's friends, and he agrees to join STΔRLIVHT's practices in Chapter 3.IV despite his discomfort. A Noise Beast attacks, and he is unable to handle it alone. He calls out to Sumire for help, and she responds, helping him defeat it. From this point on, Hitori becomes available for normal play, and he and Sumire can use each other's styles, as well as appearing in Area Conversations.

Chapter 4

In Chapter 4.II, if Hakuno decides to act on her feelings for Sumire, she asks Sumire to hang out, and the two go on a day out together - shopping, a trip to the arcade, and eating together. If Hakuno confesses, Sumire tells her what Hakuno expects - that she isn't into girls, and can't reciprocate those feelings for Hakuno. Either way, the two decide to remain best friends. In Chapter 4.III and Chapter 4.IV, Beyond takes STΔRLIVHT to an Antiphon lab on the outskirts of town for a "checkup" on their souls, to assess their power as NOISZ users; however, the four of them are attacked by a Noise Beast set on them by Stornel, who had been waiting for them. Feeling it calling to her, Sera dispatches it, though the appearance of Genbu, a NOISZ Beast almost identical in appearance to Grace, catches them off guard. Before they can react after dealing with Genbu, Beyond holds a gun to Sera's head and tells STΔRLIVHT to enter a nearby machine; they do, and everything goes black. Later on that day, STΔRLIVHT return to the office, and inform Producer that the checkup was uneventful; like getting a checkup at an ordinary doctor's practice.

Chapter 5

STΔRLIVHT is faced with a new challenge in Chapter 5.I: the Clash of Twilight, a competition between SUNRaiSE and STΔRLIVHT, composed of a series of musical performances culminating in a joint performance, with mini-polls at each stop; whoever loses the polls overall is forced to disband. However, in Chapter 5.III, Hakuno's father Yashiro outs her as trans to the press in order to turn things around for SUNRaiSE, and a furious Sumire screams her frustrations into the sky in conceptual time, though Hakuno assures Sumire that her friendship is all she needs, and the two hug. At the final show of the Clash of Twilight in Chaper 5.IV, shining brighter than ever before, STΔRLIVHT put on the performance of their lives with and against SUNRaiSE. STΔRLIVHT lose, and afterwards, they head to the Antiphon Building basement for the final battle with Gaius Antiphon.

Chapter 6

Sumire and the rest of STΔRLIVHT face off in one final battle against Gaius Antiphon and his bodyguard, Stornel in the basement of the Antiphon Building - in front of the portal to the World of Music. While they appear to be successful, several swords emerge from the smoke, flying in Sera's direction; Grace pushes Sera out of the way and is impaled, dying in Sera's arms. A young Gaius steps out of the portal in front of them, and along with Sera, Sumire vows to kill Gaius as many times as it takes to defeat him as Chapter 6 ends.
