Characters

Story

Sera visits the SUNRaiSE office to apologize for the argument between Hakuno and Shion in Chapter 2.II. Shion tells Sera she's already over it, and has instead decided that SUNRaiSE is going to crush STΔRLIVHT, to Hikari's mild consternation. Asuka reminds Shion about the tickets, and gives Sera tickets to SUNRaiSE's redebut concert, forcefully pushing them into her hand. Sera leaves the Bakeneko office and heads back.

After Sera's visit, Asuka and Hikari comment on Shion's aggressive demeanor, which Shion denies, though she thinks about how she feels like she's known Sera her whole life. She dismisses this, and simply tells Asuka and Hikari that she's passionate about defeating her rivals.

On the day of the SUNRaiSE concert, Producer and Yumi watch from the wheelchair accessible section. Yumi tells Producer that she's proud of SUNRaiSE, and the two chat for a while; the conversation arrives at the subject of sisters, and Producer attempts to remember their sister, but a sudden headache interrupts her attempt to recall her. Producer seems to remember that her sister is sick and in the hospital, which she tells Yumi. Changing the subject, she asks Yumi again if she's okay with the crowd, and Yumi affirms that she is again before the lights dim and SUNRaiSE begin their redebut concert.

A Noise Beast appears, and Hakuno attempts to handle it, but is unable to call the NOISZ to fight it, shaken by Shion's words. Sera tells Hakuno to switch to her. Hakuno hesitates, but Sumire reassures her and she lets Sera dispatch it.

Sera laments the situation, hoping that having that one heroic moment could help her overcome her traumas. The group all assure Hakuno that they are there for her as the concert ends. Sumire heads off to meet up with Yumi and Producer, and Sera and Grace head back to Grace's house.

When Sera and Grace get back to Grace's house, Lily and Touma are already asleep, so Sera and Grace play video games and watch anime in Grace's room before going to bed together. However, thoughts and doubts on recent events weigh on Grace's mind, and Grace opens up to Sera about her asexuality, admitting she doubts she enjoys being intimate the way most people do, though assures Sera she still enjoys it romantically. She expresses the same doubts to Sera that Lily had encouraged her to share, asking whether it's really okay to be her lover and her best friend; Sera comforts Grace, telling her that she's happy Grace talks to her about such things, naming her own worries about whether she is an adequate girlfriend, and that she wants Grace to be happy. The two of them reminisce about Grace's confession, and stay up late talking before falling asleep in each other's arms.
