Story

Shion, now the new centre of SUNRaiSE, comes into the STΔRLIVHT studio to see her big sister Hakuno, and is welcomed inside by Producer with a cup of tea. Shion behaves politely around Producer as the two of them talk about Producer's wheelchair, though they are cut short by STΔRLIVHT exiting the practice room. Hakuno spots Shion, and the atmosphere immediately becomes tense as an argument flares up between them; Hakuno is displeased to see Shion, insistent that she won't go back "to that house", citing all the messages Shion sent back then ("about a hundred of them"). Hurt, Shion accuses Hakuno of not caring about her, and calls her a fake and a liar. She claims that she hardly recognises Hakuno, and asks her what she'll pretend to be next. Angered, Hakuno tells Shion she doesn't want to see her again. Producer escorts Shion out of the building, and calls Asuka and Hikari to pick her up.

Shion breaks down crying upon entering the autocar, and Asuka and Hikari comfort her as she recalls what happened in the office and reflects on the events that caused Hakuno to leave the family, wishing her big sister would talk to her. Asuka and Hikari are silent for a while, but eventually break the silence by resolving to make SUNRaiSE the best with Shion - so good that Hakuno won't be able to turn away. Shion concurs, having renewed hope that Hakuno will someday see Shion as herself and not their parents.

Meanwhile, Sumire comforts Hakuno, who regrets what she said just as much as Shion. Shion's words weigh heavily on her, especially after having spent so long coming to terms with being trans. She recalls her own side of the story of her parents kicking her out to Sumire, and Sumire gives advice to Hakuno about moving on from the past, though they are interrupted by a Noise Beast. Sumire offers to take it, but Hakuno insists she take it, wanting to blow off steam.

Hakuno feels better after taking out the Noise Beast, and apologizes for the earlier scene to Sera. Hakuno says she'll apologize to Shion as well, but that it may take time before she can. For now, Sera decides to apologize to SUNRaiSE as the leader of STΔRLIVHT, remarking that maintaining relations is important, but reassures Hakuno that she hasn't impacted things too badly. Grace and Sumire offer their support to Hakuno too, who ruminates on her relationship with Shion and her family; while she knows it won't be easy, she hopes that someday she'll have the strength to repair her relationship with her sister.
