Story

As the Producer looks at the "Clash of Twilight" email, she gets an uneasy feeling that STARLIVHT's role as idols is coming to an end. Unsure of what to do, but unwilling to stand by and wait, she calls STARLIVHT into her office. When they arrive, Producer says she has something to talk about, but Sera informs her they already know of the Clash of Twilight from Asuka and Hikari, who wish to lose the competition to disband SUNRaiSE and help Shion escape from her father's clutches. Producer informs them that Beyond may have set up the competition with plans to lose and disband STARLIVHT.

Producer explains that she believes STARLIVHT was originally scouted to kill Gaius Antiphon by his daughter, Arisa Antiphon-the true identity behind "Beyond". She then informs them that Gaius plans to end the Silencing by erasing the concept of music entirely. While Sumire and Grace are willing to fight, Sera and Hakuno are much more hesitant, unwilling to risk their lives to stop him.

Sera and Hakuno then leave to continue practicing while Sumire and Grace stay behind in the office. Grace believes that Sera may agree to fight if they can provide some kind of plan for it. Producer tells the two she's seen visions of the group fighting Gaius, much like Beyond, and that they were, eventually, able to defeat him. The three of them decide to look for the secret lab in the vision, believing it may hold some kind of answer, or at least prove the visions were real.

The group all return to practice, though are unsurprisingly distracted by the news. Hakuno, feeling overwhelmed by the situation, decides to talk to the Producer about it, only to find that she's not in her office. Hakuno decides to hide some cat stickers around the office while she's away. As she looks for hiding spots, she realizes the phone Beyond supposedly calls her on doesn't actually work. As she contemplates why this could be, a Noise Beast attacks, and is defeated by Hakuno. She ultimately decides to call Sumire about what could be happening.

In the present, the unknown speaker, shocked at the reveal, attempts to ask Beyond if this means the two of them were in the same body, but she is quickly interrupted by Beyond stating she was acting as a stunt double. While the unknown speaker begins to piece things together, they are still confused as to why they needed such a complicated plan. Beyond, who had wanted to avoid this risk, realizes that they'll need to show the unknown speaker the beginning of their plan.
