This manifests our emphasis on achieving unity through accentuating freedom of choices in a diverse context. We, Astella, aspire to serve as the cohesive bond which joins Hallmates together, much like the gravitational force that binds stars in the cosmos. A single star in the sky cannot form a lustrous starry night, while amalgamated Starrians can.

Together, Lyra would work as one to spot situations swiftly and resolve them efficiently in order to provide a harmonious environment for all Starrians.
