MORE & MORE

Official Description
"Confessing to the person you like is nerve-wracking, but you should gather all your courage and do it, even if it goes wrong. Horribly wrong."

More and More (stylized as MORE & MORE) is the first installment of the TWICE Songfix Series by HMS, written on July 27, 2020 by Amree Aguinaldo, Stefen Sanchez, Cj Sanchez, and Michael Williams. It was starred by Lucas Hale as Gavin Young, Kaela Giddings as Briar Hawthorne, and Jace Blanchett as Brandon Samuels, with Haruto Miyano as Hiro Takumi, and Parriss Bell as Althea Anastasakis.

Plot
The film starts off with the death of Sophia "Iya" Miller, a classmate of the prodigies in Silverfall Hope Institute. While they investigate the Art Club Room- the room where Sophia's body was found- Brandon Samuels notices a marking on the wall that depicts a caduceus, a symbol of healing and medical practice. The next day at Serene Cove Beach, the prodigies ponder how they could help the police by investigating their classmate's murder. Gavin Young and Louise Hillman's parents are quick to examine Sophia's body and piece the evidence together, confirming that the killer does in fact, work or study in Silverfall.

With the symbol and the pieces of evidence at hand, Brandon and the others came to a conclusion that Dr. Takumi, their class adviser, is the one who did the deed. They eventually find out they're wrong and have been misled when Brandon stalks him, but Hannah Lewis, another classmate of theirs, dies because of someone stabbing her. Ingrid Yuikawa points out the caduceus on the wall, and realizes that their teacher, Althea Anastasakis is actually the one killing the students. Althea- nicknamed as Ana- likes Hiro, and so does a lot of young students in Silverfall. As a yandere, she's willing to kill anyone who comes in between Hiro and herself, and in this case, Hannah and Sophia did.

The prodigies end up catching Ana, who's out to get Briar Hawthorne. While apprehended by both Ingrid and Brandon, Ana confesses to Hiro how she feels, but is rejected because of her killing tendencies, and didn't want to be involved with everything. Ana then lunges at Hiro just to stab him down on his throat and stomach. Without a reason to live anymore, Ana also stabs herself and lies next to Hiro. Five weeks later, it's revealed that Ana is in critical condition, and Hiro survived her stabbings. The story ends when it's in time for their school's annual Spelling, Math, and Science competitions, and the prodigies are waiting for Louise to arrive in school, replacing Hannah in the contest, revealing that Louise is now the protagonist for the next story, Dance the Night Away.

Trivias

 * MORE & MORE, DTNA, and YES or YES have 10 chapters in total; a prologue, 8 chapters, ending with the epilogue. The first letter of each chapter's name (excluding the prologue and epilogue) reads out its book title/initials: chapters 1-8 of MORE & MORE spell out "MOREMORE", Dance the Night Away has "DTNADTNA", and YES or YES' chapters spell out "YESORYES".
 * The setting of all the stories is in Serene Cove, a small fictional city where the characters live in. It's mentioned that Serene Cove is a place in the States, but it was never specified where it could be. Although this is the case, it was hinted once by Ingrid in DTNA's ending that the sun sets on the east by Serene Sea's horizon, which means they're in a state by the left side of the United States map, namely the outskirts of either Oregon or California.
 * In MORE & MORE, Briar mentions that she got jealous of Ingrid because of Brandon in the past. He admits that he finds Ingrid pretty, but he doesn't like her that way.
 * MORE & MORE took place in either June or July, and DTNA is either July or August, since Brandon mentions that it's been five weeks after the epilogue as a time-skip. YES or YES took place in late February, because we witnessed Twix's birthday happening on the story, which is on February 24th.
