[The screen comes on, like so many others, seemingly by itself. Neku can be seen in the background, in the bathroom in fact. He's in front of the mirror, hair slightly damp and not all spiked, and a toothbrush hanging from his mouth. He slathers some gel in his hands and starts spiking up his hair, pauses, tries it a different way-]
Hurry up, princess!
Shud dap!
[And the screen flickers to-
Somewhere completely different. In fact it's outside! Fellow Tokyo citizens might recognize Hachiko! Neku is there with someone else Terminal might recognize: Shiki. Plus a pink haired scary woman. Said woman offers him a chance out of a 'Game'- whatever that is. Shiki warns him away but Neku takes the chance, saying he's in even after being warned that he will be 'Erased' if he fails.]
You have one minute... to Erase that girl.
[Neku hesitates at first, seeming horrified by the idea- but the woman adds tot he pot. Claiming Shiki is a spy... and slowly Neku seems to go blank, asking her outright and in a chilly tone why she was always checking her phone. It's obvious he's buying this tale. Or at least convincing himself it's the case- so he doesn't feel bad for what he's about to do.]
What are you waiting for? Do what comes naturally. Save yourself. Screw everybody else, right?
[Shiki pleads for him to wait, but still detached and refusing to listen:]
I have to
[More static and it's back to Neku, looking confused. Gummymon bounces on screen. She had obviously been watching. She knows who Shiki is... at least the version shown. Neku's old *Partner*. She has big gooey tears in her eyes.
After all if he could do that to ONE partner, then-]
...Stupid! Stupid Neku!
[And she runs off, right out the door, leaving Neku looking horrified and even more confused with toothpaste and half applied hairgel still on his face]
