Story Context
After Gaius arrives to the World of Music, he falls from the sky and tumbles in front of a girl who gets nervous and attacks him.
Gimmicks
Like all other songs from episode G, this song is locked to Proto Style and features slash notes and gameplay that revolves around the style's dashing mechanic.
On difficulties Normal and higher, there is a memory section at the beginning of Verse 3 where there are rows of large bullets falling down with some being fake. You'll have to figure out which bullets are the real ones that need to be avoided by memorizing a section prior that showcases the sequence of just the real bullets falling.
Strategies
For the lasers during the intro, you can shield while standing still for the pair of blue lasers that appear while the red laser grid is active.
With the laser that spawns bullets, using Proto Style's Proto Dash may be a safer approach through. While not strictly necessary, avoiding shield dashing directly into a red bullet can be challenging, especially on higher difficulties.
A fan of lasers targets your location. Be careful to lead them into a position where you can enter a gap before they activate. Moving closer to the bottom while they are active allows you more room to dodge any bullets coming your way. Don't be afraid to shield abundantly during this section if you need to; even on Overload, it's still possible to reach the S-Rank damage requirement with the right equipment.
Verse 3's memory quiz is long and complex, but there is a method to remember the route that can increase consistency. Here is a guide by Athena, specifically for Overload (but much of the strategy still translates well into lower difficulties): https://youtu.be/ztRdy9J3ESk
On Overload, the S-Rank damage requirement can be strict. Treasure Module is one of the best options for reaching it, but Flash Module works for reaching the damage requirements as well, albeit the requirement is much stricter with Flash. Either way, you need to play aggressively and avoid using Proto Crash as much as possible.
Flavor Text
Gaius: Looks like we’re off to a rough start. She’s got a lot of strange tricks, but I do too. Let’s show her we’re more than a match, yeah?

Can you hear me? Calling you |

Don't make a sound, I'll be here for you |
|
Inside i remain a fragment of hope |
|
I'm falling faster |
|
Don't make a sound, I'll be here for you |
