Six prodigies attend Kanezono Academy of Music, each with a mysterious past and a “color” tied to their soul’s melody. The story follows Ren Hayami, a withdrawn violinist who hasn’t played since his sister’s suicide. On his first day, he hears her melody echoing through the old concert hall—played perfectly by a girl he’s never met.
Soon, Ren and the other students are drawn into the “Symphony of Souls”, a ritual that binds their emotions to music. Every performance drains something from them—memories, feelings, or fragments of life itself. To graduate, they must each compose their Final Piece, but the truth is grim: only one can complete it, and the rest will vanish into their own unfinished songs.

Ren and Ema returned to the hidden chamber, determined to continue Scarlet Strings. Faint echoes of past performances surrounded them—the whispers of students who had vanished, haunting the walls with unfinished melodies.


Ema's fingers hovered above the piano keys, silver aura trembling. "Every note… every sound… carries their memory. We're playing with their souls."


Ren gritted his teeth, bow in hand. "Then we can't fail. If we finish it, maybe… maybe they can rest."


As they played, shadows swirled around them, coiling with the melody. They could feel the weight of decades pressing down, the academy itself alive and watching.


The past was guiding them… or warning them. Perhaps both.
