Summary:

Three years.

Three years is a long time to spend isolated, alone. Ghosts and tenuous connections to keep him company. To keep Neku grounded enough to be himself.

Three years is a long time to come to care for echoes of a city he won’t get to keep. He has Shibuya. He has his friends, his home.

He survives. He lives.

(How does he do it? How do Neku’s friends cope with his disappearance? And is it a hopeless daydream that Shinjuku might live, too?)

Chapter 1 excerpt:

When he opens his eyes next, Neku is standing in a street, and the sun hasn’t shifted at all. The clouds obscuring it are static in position.

The last image in his head is Joshua pointing a gun at him. Again. And yet he knows, he knows, that this death was not Josh’s fault. Wherever he is, on the other hand. However he got here, probably is.

Scratch that probably. Definitely. Given what hangs at his neck.

There’s a soft hum from the feather as he reaches up to touch it. Grounding him. Giving him room to breathe without risking shattering.

Not that he needs the air.

(Not that the air here means anything).

Neku knows that a new scar on his back will be joining the other two. Matching the one on his head (hidden by bangs), and the one over his heart. He’d check, but that would mean finding a mirror. Revealing more skin than he’s comfortable with, in this ghost town.

And that’s when the people appear.

yes i do have strong feelings abt neo twewy friendships & found family<3 love n light

#kbitycus talks #neo twewy spoilers #<- in tags #kaie & shoka are friends textually AND in my heart #shoka coaxes kaie into bitching over text with her once a month or so #this is how she keeps up with all the gossip post-game #meanwhile kaie ''drops hints'' about rns hacking and the ug data #eventually leading to the wicked twisters getting reaper game stickers outside of their houses #for special visitors! courtesy of shoka and kaie #kaie is close with most of the surviving shinjuku reapers id say #the relationship between them and shiba is still very on the mend though #similar to how shiba also is with everyone else but like.#do you think about how kaie was willing to die with shibuya because of the inevitability of shiba ruining their next home #or are you normal‚#kaie is friends with rhyme and rhyme is friends with ghosts #including all of the reapers & joshua #i think they talk with haz occasionally when haz decides to visit shibuya (rindo introduces them)#but thats less of a friendship (Right Now) and more of an odd reaching out #haz is curious to know how rhyme still sees things without their entry fee and #rhyme is curious about the higher plane #and haz cant tell them! but they pick up on things by being around him #and thats not HIS fault now is it #(and maybe haz picked up a few things about *loopholes* from his bf who knows.)#rindo & haz are friends as well i know this to be true #shiki & eri are friends with the wicked twisters but they help fret with fashion design #and occasionally shoka sits in on the fashion design lessons because she's curious #fret & shoka get closer post-game as well i think. shoka tries on clothes fret makes and #fret gets into fango bc of rindo and shoka shares tips with him #sho is Around i have vague thoughts on him post game but like #sho & shoka siblings headcanon is important to my heart as always
