Season 1 - Episode 8: Wolf in The Shade of The Shine

輝きの陰にオオカミ

Miku woke up early that morning to the sound of rain. Hibiki didn't seem to be awake, which didn't make her feel any different after last night. She climbed out of bed and looked off to the side, spotting a photo frame. In it was a photo of her, Hibiki, Takiyama, and Seth when they were younger, around the time that they remet Takiyama. If Hibiki was hiding something then... What if the others were too? Miku didn't dwell on that thought, choosing to begin getting changed.

Out in the rain, Chris was running in her symphogear, turning back for a moment to destroy a group of Noise that's been following her for a while. Exhausted, Chris slumped against a wall, her gear dissolving. She fell down to her knees, panting as she held the coat wrapped around herself tighter, passing out. Nearby, Takuya was jogging, having a hoodie on since he no longer had his jacket. He stopped when he came by an alley however, spotting someone in it. At the same time, Miku was on the other end of the alley, holding an umbrella as she spotted the person too.

Synths rolled across the screen as music began to play. As the beat hit, Synths rose up, displaying various characters. First was Tsubasa, Kanade, and Takuya, the next was Miku, Ryouko, and Takiyama, and then Seth, Chris, and Hibiki. It then quickly showed Ryouko raising the volume before revealing Hibiki atop a rock formation at night. As Hibiki sang, wings sprouted from her back and she took flight into the air.

Listen To My Song...

In the night sky, a shooting star flew across the sky, it gave a bright silhouette of Hibiki with wings before another silhouette appeared alongside Hibiki's, this one being Zero-One. It showed Hibiki's face with orange electricity sparking in her eye before revealing the title.

Boku no koe wa kioete imasu ka? Please tell me...

(Are you hearing my voice? Please tell me...)

It showed Miku in the middle of the field, gazing up at the stars before she reached her hand out, grasping at nothing.

Kotae no nai kyokō no sora mezashi fly far away

(Devoid of answers, I am for the fictional sky and fly far away)

It showed Tsubasa picking up a mic with a picture of her and Kanade. She held it close, closing her eyes for a moment before leaving the room to perform.

Kotoba ja tarinai kara boku no subete uketomete

Because words aren't enough, accept everything about me)

Seigyo dekinai... shitakunai yo

(I can't control myself... and I don't want to)

Hajimete shiru kankaku

(It's the first time I've felt this way)

It then briefly showed the inside of Section Two, revealing Sakuya and Aoi before showing Ryouko, Shinji, Genjuurou, Inei, and Kasai. It then showed Chris as she covered her body and ears, falling into a pit of dismay before she reached out into the light, crying. It then showed Hibiki and Takiyama walking in separate paths to Seth and Miku. Miku then called out to Hibiki, reaching out to her before the four of them were in the Flower with Seth behind the counter. It then showed Hibiki donned in her Symphogear with Takiyama as Zero-One - Rising Hopper behind her. It then flashed between various scenes. The first of which was Durendal, then Finé, Chris as a child before a fire, the silver armor of Nehushtan, the gleaming silver visor of Slipstream, Takuya and Shizuru in the main room of the A.I.M.S base, and then Chris armored in the Nehushtan.
