NOISZ STΔRLIVHT

Chapter 0

Hakuno adjusts to STΔRLIVHT's new management under Producer and Beyond after they are all provided with the NOISZ to fight Noise Beasts, and Hakuno grows closer to the rest of the group, revealing her own secret that she is trans and likes girls.

Chapter 1

Sera struggles with the workload as leader of STΔRLIVHT in Chapter 1.III and friction arises between Hakuno and Sera over a new song they have been commissioned to write, resulting in an argument. Around the same time, learning of the release of Eito Hojo, the abusive ex-boyfriend of her sister Yumi, Sumire suddenly disappears into the locker room, and Hakuno follows, only to find Hitori. The two of them converse about the viability of revealing the truth about Hitori, and Hakuno leaves it to him, though assures him once more - both that he's real, and that she considers him her best friend.

Sera apologises for her behaviour in Chapter 1.IV, and Hakuno accepts, reminding Sera that she follows her because she want to - and that Sera's dream isn't just hers, but all of STΔRLIVHT's.

Chapter 2

Invited in by Producer, Shion Nekoda, the new lead of SUNRaiSE, visits the STΔRLIVHT office in Chapter 2.II and finally comes face to face with her sister Hakuno; however, reminded of her parents and her time under them, she is unhappy to see Shion, resulting in a fiery confrontation between the two, each of them saying things they regret - Hakuno refusing to go back "to that house", and Shion calling Hakuno fake. Sera, Grace and Sumire comfort and support Hakuno.

Sera visits SUNRaiSE in Chapter 2.III to apologise - though Shion vows to crush STΔRLIVHT. Later on, a Noise Beast attacks at practice, but Hakuno finds herself unable to summon the NOISZ, remembering what Shion had said, and Sera steps in, though she reassures Hakuno that she is not a fake - that they have her back.

Chapter 3

In Chapter 3.I, Hitori wakes up in Sumire's place to find he can no longer hear her, and Hakuno is forced to explain the truth - that Sumire has DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), and that Hitori is an alter of hers. Later on, Hakuno visits her aunt Heather Valentine, and catches up with her new intern - Rhyme, her old friend.

Depending on player choice, in Chapter 3.II either visits Hitori to check up on him with or without Rhyme, or visits the STΔRLIVHT office for extra practice. If she visits Hitori alone, the two of them grow closer as Hitori opens up to Hakuno. If Rhyme is invited, the three of them hang out together and go out shopping, cheering Hitori up considerably, and if Hakuno goes to get in some extra practice in, she lets her guard down slightly around Producer; in all three circumstances, a Noise Beast attacks, and Hakuno finds herself able to summon the NOISZ again, fending it off with her newfound confidence.

In Chapter 3.IV Hakuno learns Sera is her blood sister, as her father is also Yashiro Nekoda, the result of a one-night stand between him and Setsuna Hoshikawa, and Hakuno resolves to be a good big sister for Sera.

Chapter 4

In Chapter 4.I, Hakuno asks Grace for advice on her love life, who encourages her to ask the object of her affections on a date, or to hang out, depending on who she likes, between Sumire, Producer, Hitori, and Rhyme. In Chapter 4.II, she spends time with her crush, though unfortunately, things don't work out - Hakuno and Sumire decide to remain best friends as Sumire isn't into girls, Producer is unwilling to date someone she manages, and Hakuno panics at the end of her date with Rhyme if Rhyme is selected and puts her walls up.

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, 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. Hakuno isn't too shaken, however, and soldiers on. Horrified that the situation has affected the poll, Shion visits the STΔRLIVHT to offer her forfeit, and she and Hakuno finally apologise to each other for everything, even though Sera rejects Shion's forfeit, reminding her that they can't let down their fans.

At the final show of the Clash of Twilight in Chapter 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

Hakuno 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, Hakuno vows to kill Gaius as many times as it takes to defeat him as Chapter 6 ends.
