Neku looked around him. He remembered Joshua shooting him and now he was here. It seemed like Shibuya at night, although a part of Shibuya somewhere in a back alley. Perhaps somewhere in between Lapin Angelique and that sex store that Neku was glad he'd never had to go into.
He checked himself over. He had no injury to his shoulder at least, and his earphones were still blasting out SAWA the same as they had been when Joshua shot him. He put his hand in his pocket and found all his pins.
What was this then? The afterlife? It was a bit of a sucky afterlife, wasn't it? And besides, Neku was fairly certain that Players didn't get an afterlife, that they just became bits of Soul and Noise and god knew what.
Something appeared on the ground before him. It looked like Noise, but somehow he knew it wasn't. He tried to beat it back, using the Rhyme Pin over and over but it didn't seem to be detering it. Sensing danger, Neku wondered if it was time to run.
Out of nowhere a kid appeared brandishing a large key. Neku can't see any pins on him, but he takes on the Noise and begins to cut it into tiny pieces.
A moment later a heart disappears into the sky and the boy turns around to him, grinning. He's the complete opposite in Neku in every way, apart from looks. They do look similar, although Neku is more scrawny and less tanned. Their hair mimics the others, their style is similar - does this kid shop at Jupiter of the Monkey too? He tries to decide and then notices the label 'Dog Street - Nomura Style' and realises it's probably not a Shibuya label.
"You were lucky there. Are you from here?" the other asks brightly. Neku eyes him warily. Where is he?
"I'm from Shibuya," he says watching as the other's face darkens in confusion.
"Shibuya? I've never heard of it, sorry," he replies and Neku stares at him. Never heard of Shibuya? Does that mean... he's not in Tokyo anymore? Has Joshua, that bastard, sent him to play in a game elsewhere in the world?
"Where am I?" he asks, afraid of the outcome.
"I think they call this place 'The World That Never Was'. Depressing huh? I'm Sora by the way," the kid holds out his hand. Neku looks at it and then hesitantly shakes it. There's no flash of light, no pact forming, nothing but a handshake and he begins to feel true fear uncoiling from his gut.
"Your world was probably destroyed by the Heartless," Sora continues, withdrawing his hand. "It's probably not safe for you to be here either. I'll get Goofy or Donald to take you to Radiant Garden or something. It's going to be dangerous here."
Neku feels cold as the bottomless pit seems to open beneath him. Heartless didn't destroy his world, he knows that. There is only one Heartless in his world and that's Joshua. Joshua has destroyed Shibuya but for some reason, saved him. But what about Shiki, Rhyme, Beat, Uzuki and the others? Were they all gone? Had they all disappeared?
"I'm sorry," Sora says suddenly and Neku looks up and realises his eyes are blurred with tears. He swipes at his eyes.
"Neku," he says softly, not wanting that pity from this kid who he barely knows. Sora nods at his name and puts an arm around his shoulders, leading him to something that looks like Mus Rattus puked all over Sheep Heavenly. He doesn't greet the talking duck and dog, ignores the chipmunks on the intercom and resolves, deep within his heart, that he's going to find Shiki, and Beat, and all the others and he's going to build a new Shibuya, one where there's no psychotic Composer to destroy things.
Sora just pats him on the arm awkwardly and offers a bright smile when Neku looks up.
Neku wonders if he'll ever be able to smile like Sora.
