TAKUTO & SCHALL
On the surface, Takuto appears as an ordinary schoolboy- truthfully, he kinda is. However, invisible to all but him is a spirit of an old piano that follows him about- Schall. Though he had renounced playing the piano due to not feeling skilled enough, Schall often possesses him and makes him play, really wanting to hear his tunes. Perhaps someday he'll find his own sound again...?
In this game, he wields the blue diamond lapis.
零と弌の鍵の唄 by red glasses feat.秋成 is his song.
IN THE STORY
Unfortunately limited to card and side stories. In one side-story, he's scouted by Smoke for his piano ability, leading to him showing off both the skill he has with Schall possessing him and his own. In the card story where he's most relevant, thanks to Gerhard (intentionally or not) suggesting that he play the piano regardless of his skill, he gets back into it for real.

TRIVIA
- Takuto's birthday is on September 18th, shared with Nicolas, and Schall's is on December 30th.
- The blue diamond lapis is shared with Yuzuru, Roku and Wolfgang.
- In his 2P palette, Takuto wields the pink diamond lapis.
- Playing as or against Takuto will yield diamond effects in the background.
- Schall was not playable by herself until éclale, her appearance changing a decent bit in that game compared to Lapistoria. She lacked detached sleeves and received mismatched stockings, and she only had 2 long segments of her hair, similar to her smaller appearance. Her iris color changed to light blue, too.
- Takuto's Twitter kaomoji was ﾘN´Ծ_Ծ´) when Lapistoria was active. He announced the news from March 6th, 2015 (hey, my birthday!), to March 30th, 2015.
- Schall showed up in several of Takuto's tweets with a variety of kaomoji of her own, but the default was 廿0.0）. She would eventually announce the news for éclale from February 1st, 2016, to February 27th, 2016.
- "Takuto" is the Japanese word for a conductor's baton, derived from the German word for it, Taktstock. Takt by itself means "beat" or "measure".
- Similarly, "Schall" is German for "sound". Her name was revealed on April Fool's 2015 with a plush keychain, of all things. Apparently, it can also hold eamusement passes!

WEBMASTER'S COMMENTS
I probably shouldn't have used this page to talk about Schall as well, but I dunno... they're too connected for me to not. These two ruined me (affectionate).
Trying to add his Net Taisen lines was a fucking nightmare because Neocities was crashing at exactly the same time...
I have his Pugyutto! He is so cute!!!
