Before Aleph goes into the underground beneath Tokyo Millenium, Hanoun meets and develops a crush on Daleth, who recruits both her and another fairy named Puck into his latest scheme to get the better of Aleph, which is using the Indfidelity Sap on him to make him fall in love with her. When they confront Aleph's party however, the Infidelity Sap hits Hiroko instead, who becomes enamored with Daleth. Though Daleth is uncomfortable with the situation, he considers it a win over Aleph, but his plans are ruined by Hanoun, who, driven by her crush on Daleth, helps Aleph break the spell on Hiroko and then uses the infidelty sap on the target of her affections, in turn making him become enamored with her. As a result of the Infidelty Sap's brainwashing effect, Daleth gives up on his obsession with Aleph and lives with Hanoun as her lover.

Her only other appearance in the story is in the ending of the chaos route, where she, along with the rest of the residents of the underground, congratulate Aleph on defeating YHVH and destroying Tokyo Millenium.

Visionaries

Hanoun appears in 2 Visionary cutscenes in the Game Boy Advance and iOS versions of the game.

In "Broken Visor", which takes place after Daleth has been brainwashed by the Infidelity Sap and Aleph has left for the Expanse, Hanoun is examining a flower while Daleth laments that all of his attempts to get the best of Aleph have failed, and that he will likely never be able to surpass him. When Hanoun attempts to comfort him, their attention is suddenly grabbed by a distressed fairy running away from a stray Bit Ball, which Daleth quickly destroys. After admonishing the fairy to be careful, he resolves to himself that while he will never be able to beat Aleph, he has a new purpose and life living with the fairies, and he is content with that, making Hanoun say his name dreamily.

In "Torn Cape", which takes place after Daleth has initially been defeated by Aleph, Daleth visits Shinjuku to receive treatment for his wounds and finds Hanoun's store, meeting her for the first time. She hurriedly treats his wounds while he tries to express his gratitude to her, though he inadvertently keeps hurting himself from his exaggerated movements, causing Hanoun to request he lies down. While he obliges her request, Hanoun comments to herself that he is cute.

In the Shin Megami Tensei Fanbook Jakyō-no-Yakata Club fanbook, there is a short comic titled "A Poem of Love: Hanoun's and Daleth's Chapter"[1], which details an average scenario involving Daleth and Hanoun's relationship. Daleth and Hanoun laying together in a bed in the aftermath of implied intercourse when Daleth gets up and announces he wants to separate from Hanoun, which leaves her a bit shocked, but she begrudgingly accepts his decision, but before he can move any farther from her, his mind immediately changes and he proclaims his love for Hanoun again, a side effect of the Infidelity Sap's brainwashing.

The scene then cuts to Satan pressing a button inside the Megiddo Ark that activates its Erase function, at which then the scene cuts back to Daleth and Hanoun in the middle of intercourse just before the wave of energy from the Ark kills them.
