Story

Two mysterious figures converse with each other. "???????" noticed something interesting on their corruption radar. "??????" insists that they can fix this, but the other states that won't happen if they nap. A "Deinterlacing & Corruption Process" is initiated. "???????" urges the other to rest and let them handle it.

Then, the main character follows Karin through Tacet Forest. The main character speculates that she must be a Noise Beast, based on her sheep horns. They worry about the sudden appearance of cat ears on their own head and if they're turning into a Noise Beast themself somehow.

Karin leads them to a stone arch in a clearing. She states it is activated by a melody. As Karin hums and attempts to activate the portal, the main character assumes Karin has led them into a trap and summons the NOISZ. Karin transforms into a large blue ram and attacks.

After the fight, the NOISZ flares powerfully, and nothing is left of Karin. The main character finds their hands have become cat paws.

A girl approaches the main character, introducing herself as "Arietta." Arietta calls herself a friend of Beyond and asks the main character to continue on as they were before.

Choosing to tell Arietta you'll destroy her will result in entering Stage X3.

Otherwise, Arietta takes out a tablet and uses it for a short while. She finds something nearby and directs the main character to come along with her.

The main character asks who Beyond and Arietta are, to which Arietta answers that they're just people. The main character tries to counter with the fact they seem to appear out of thin air and give magical powers. Arietta explains that it's just science. They then ask why they have turned into a cat. Arietta states that this is how their soul has always been, and that their body has simply matched that form. The main character asks if Noise Beasts are human. Arietta replies Noise Beasts are music.

Soon, the two arrive at a small town.
