Summary
“I don’t believe even Neku knows what he’ll do, but I can say with certainty: subconsciously, he knows the choice he wants to make.”
“Is that with or without you imprinting a bunch of leading phrases into the poor kid’s head?”
“Now really, Sanae, would I do that?”
Hanekoma raises an eyebrow as he stares pointedly at Josh in silent answer.
“... Fair point. But no, I’ll honour Neku’s trust in me and let him choose. I’ll pay it back in kind by trusting that he’ll make the right decision.”
“There’s a chance he could say no. Let his abilities fade into the background. Considered that?”
“I can’t say I have,” Joshua smiles. “There’s simply no need.”

Neku's been waiting for Josh to reappear for two years now, since he won the Game and helped save Shibuya. Despite returning to the RG, a part of him is still tied to the UG, a tenuous connection that he can’t quite bring himself to cut. When Josh finally does deign to make an reappearance, Neku realises that sooner or later he's going to have to choose: the RG, or the UG? Set in a world where Another Day didn't happen, exactly, but still contains major NEO TWEWY plot spoilers!

The City Sings by ComposerEgg

Summary
The city sings to Neku as his feet press against the pavement. He breathes in deep as he stands in the Scramble. Alive.
(Part of him can feel those spaces left inside of him. If he threw his arms out wide open, would the city flow through those empty echoes of his wounds?)
Neku navigates living with two sets of memories, living in general, friendships, and the mess that is Joshua.

Summary
Joshua says something Neku can't quite hear - everything else is loud, suddenly, things he never thought of as loud. Things that he hardly noticed - the undeniable hums and rhythms of the UG, the voices of the people even in the relative quiet of Udagawa - it's an undeniable call, a once more - would he ever be back to - his chest hurts, but this is a good thing, it’s time to go -
[neku tries to adjust to living in the RG once more, despite a three year absence. post NEO.]

Summary
Three years is a long time to be dead, trapped in an endless loop of a city's final days and trying to understand what happened to it.
No one told Neku that going back to his own life would be the hard part.

Summary
"Are you interested in Playing another Game?"
"Not particularly," declared Neku.
"Aww, but I've been working so hard on it," Joshua pleaded, his smirk only growing by the second. "I had to make a new one, after all, once those Shinjuku Reapers were done having their fun."
It's been a year since Neku has last seen Joshua, and it wasn't as if their last conversation was all that involved. Now, completely out of the blue, Joshua is asking Neku to test-Play a "new version" of the Reapers' Game -- but of course, this requires Neku to die once again in order to do so.
The amount of trust Neku has in a person who has yet to do anything worthy of his forgiveness, leading to him accepting this offer without a second thought, is probably a bit concerning.
