Intro
--------------------
Hello~ This guide contains game script of The World Ends With You, and would not
have happened without the awesome work of twewygamescript (on Livejournal), who
compiled the vast majority of the script. The script has been posted here with
their permission, and I hope you all find this useful. In the main script, there
will be some sections which will be indented as follows:

> bubble over another character, the character you need to talk to will
> be written . For thoughts you scan for, the title of the
> bubble will be {in here}
Particularly long pieces of optional text will appear like so:

Week 1, Day 1 [w1d1]
--------------------
Neku: [walking through Shibuya. The pedestrian lights turn green, and Neku
crosses the Scramble Crossing with other people] Outta my face. You’re blocking
my view. [Neku passes by AMX, where loud music is being played] Shut up!!! Stop
talking. Just go the hell away! [He stops at Udagawa] All the world needs is me.
I got my values... so you can keep yours, all right? [puts on his headphones] I
don’t get people. Never have. Never will.
Neku: [wakes up lying on the ground in the Scramble Crossing. He sees a Player
Pin in his hand] ? [flips the Player pin in the air. When he catches it, he
suddenly hears voices in his head]
Neku: !? What the... I can hear voices in my head! (What just happened?) [looks
at the Player Pin on his right hand] (And where’d this pin come from?) Hmm...
(Wonder if there’s a connection...)
[Neku scans the area]
Neku: (Voices! Definitely voices! But why?) ! (Am I hearing people’s thoughts!?
What the hell IS this pin?) [a beep from Neku's cellphone] ! Huh? Whose phone?
Mine? "Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. --The Reapers."
Oh, that’s cute. See ya, spam. Deleted. [a beep] Huh? Still there... It’s like
junk mail from hell. [flinches] Oww! My hand... Huh?
Neku: [looks down at his hand to see a timer couting down from 59:49. He looks
around and sees Noise symbols] !? What?
[frog Noise come from the Noise symbols]
Neku: ! F...frogs!? [flinches] Oww! What the... They attacked me! What do they
want with me? D-down froggie...
[Neku battles with the frogs before running]
Neku: [the frog Noise are still attacking] ...Ungh! What the hell is going on!?
Somebody! Help! [People are continuing on as if they don't see him] Hey...
Everybody stop ignoring me! What is this place... [flinches] Crap! I gotta run!
[TWEWY intro movie/credits. Neku runs through Shibuya, passing Shiki, Beat and
Joshua. Uzuki and Kariya watch from on a roof. There is an explosion and Rhyme
falls off the roof of a building. Beat saves her by catching her and landing on
his skateboard. Shiki spots Neku as they try to fight off the Noise. Neku keeps
running]
[POV switches to two shadowy Reapers on a rooftop]
Kariya: Man, here we go again...
Uzuki: Stop whining. We haven’t had work in, like, forever.
Kariya: Exactly. It feels like the Monday after vacation.
Uzuki: You’d prefer a permanent vacation? Day 1 has the most Players. Now’s our
chance to rack up some points! How else you gonna make up for last month?
Kariya: Aight, aight... One week won’t kill me. Probably. Hey, while we’re at
it... How ‘bout we play a little game?
Uzuki: A gaaame?
Kariya: Yeah, so it doesn’t feel so much like work. C’mon, you love it.
Uzuki: Oh, yeah. You know me. Sigh... All right. What’s the game?
Kariya: How ‘bout Reaper Sport 3, a Player hunt? Let’s see who bags the most
Players during today’s mission.
Uzuki: Are you joking? That’s no fun at all!
Kariya: You don’t like it?
Uzuki: But I’m gonna crush you! There’s no contest.
Kariya: Ohh, zing! Now I have to actually try. You know the drill. Loser buys
winner a hot bowl of ramen.
[POV returns to Neku near the Statue of Hachiko]
Neku: Huff, huff... Should be...safe...here... [Neku is attacked by another frog
Noise] Rrgh... Freakin’ frogs! Just leave me alone! I didn’t do anything to you!
[Other Players scream as they are erased by Noise]
Neku: !? They vanished! Why are people disappearing!? What’s happening... Why am
I even here? What the hell! [Neku is attacked by frog Noise] They’re gonna get
me...
Shiki: [off screen] Found one!
Neku: [turns around] Huh?
Shiki: [on screen] You! Forge a pact with me!
Neku: Uhh... I’ve kinda got my hands full...
Shiki: Listen! If we forge a pact, we can beat the Noise!
Neku: Who cares about a little noise?
Shiki: You wanna be erased? Hurry up! There’s no time! Make a pact with me!
Please!
Neku: A-all right! I accept.
[fusion sequence with glowy lights]
Neku: What’s with the lights show?
Shiki: Here! [hands Neku a Pyrokinesis pin] Use this pin!
Neku: But...the funny lights...
Shiki: I’ll explain later! Right now we have to stop the Noise!
Neku: Uhh...OK?
Shiki: Get ready!
[Fight with the frogs]
Neku: That fire... I did that!?
Shiki: Whoa! You can use the pin? You must be really good at psychs. Guess I
found the right partner, huh?
Neku: That’s what you call those flames? A psych?
Shiki: Yup. And now that we’ve made a pact, the Noise won’t come after us!
Neku: In other words, we’re safe.
Shiki: Right. See? All gone.
Neku: All gone. So...What are Noise?
Shiki: They’re the monsters we just fought. Duh.
Neku: (Monsters? Uh, sure... And "psychs"?) [looks at the Pyrokinesis pin] (Is
that what this pin is for?)
Shiki: Anyway, where are my manners? My name’s Shiki Misaki. Call me Shiki.
Neku: (I call this wack.)
Shiki: We’ve got a long week ahead of us!
Neku: A week? Week of what?
Shiki: The Reapers’ Game is seven days long, right?
Neku: (Reapers? Excuse me? Who is this flake?)
Shiki: So what’s your name?
Neku: (Forget her... Where am I? How did I get here?)
Shiki: C’mon, tell me your name.
Neku: (The sign says "Shibuya Station"... Why am I in Shibuya?)
Shiki: Something wrong?
Neku: (Wait... The intersection. I just need to retrace my steps.) [leaves]
Shiki: ! Hey, whoa... Wait for me!!!
[At the Scramble Crossing]
Neku: Why are you following me!?
Shiki: Why are you making yourself so hard to follow?
Neku: Screw you. I go where I want.
Shiki: Go where? We’re trapped in here!
Neku: What? Don’t be stupid.
Shiki: You’re the one being stupid. We made a pact. We’re supposed to stick
together! You can’t beat Noise alone. You can’t survive!
Neku: Survive what?
Shiki: The Game! Don’t you wanna win?
Neku: Pfft. Play games on your own time.
Shiki: Hey! That’s not funny! They’ll erase us if we don’t win! You saw what
happened to those people! You wanna join them? Besides, we’re partners. Partners
work together.
Neku: No way! Don’t make me a part of this.
Shiki: You’re already a part of this. You’re a Player, just like me.
Neku: A what? I’m not playing anything.
Shiki: Oh yeah? Then why do you have a Player Pin? [indicates the Player Pin]
Don’t you have a timer on your hand? I do...
Neku: [looks at his hand. The timer says 20:05] What. The. Hell.
Shiki: See, you’re part of the Reapers’ Game, too.
Neku: ......
Shiki: ! We don’t have time for this! The clock’s ticking! We’ve only got 20
minutes! Let’s hurry to Ten-Four!
Neku: "Ten-Four"? What’s that?
Shiki: Ten-Four! 104? You got the mail, right? "Reach 104 or face erasure."
Neku: (That junk mail...Please. What kind of nut would believe that? Then
again... This day has been pretty weird. And she’s gonna follow me anyway.)
...... (May as well go along and try to figure this out.) All right, you win.
Lead the way.
Shiki: Good. Now, for the last time... Tell me your name.
Neku: ...... Neku. Neku Sakuraba.
Shiki: Neku, huh? Cute name.
Neku: (Shut up.)
Shiki: All right, Neku. Let’s go over to 104!
| Shiki: Hey, Neku!
|
| Neku: ......
|
| Shiki: We have to get over to 104. There's no time!
|
| Neku: ...... [leaves]
|
| Shiki: Hey- wait up!!! Neku...
> [Trying to go to Center St. or the Shibu Dept. Store]
> Shiki: I told you! We can't leave!
>
> Neku: Oh, please. [moves to walk forward and hits a wall] Durff! You
> gotta be kidding me!
>
> Shiki: Next time, try listening.
>
> Neku: So this is all part of that "Reapers' Game"?
>
> Shiki: That's right.
>
> Neku: (This is nuts. She's actually telling the truth? Then that means
> the mail I got--
>
> Shiki: Neku! Move! We have to get to Ten-Four!
[Neku runs into an invisible wall just in front of 104]
Neku: Oww! It’s blocked! There’s no way past!
Shiki: We can’t get through!? But this is the way to Ten-Four!
Neku: ...... (Why do I feel like I’m being watched? That guy over there. What’s
he staring at?)
Reaper: Pact confirmed.
Shiki: What are we gonna do about this wall? [walks past Neku] Huh? Neku! It’s
open.
Neku: [turns around to look] ? What’s up with that?
Shiki: No idea. A lucky break, I guess! C’mon, we gotta keep moving.
Neku: (Something about that guy in red...) ! (Huh? Where’d he go? Weird.)
[At 104]
Shiki: Made it!
Neku: [looks down at his right hand] The timer vanished!
Shiki: Whew! Mission complete.
Uzuki: [out of view] Pfft. Big Deal.
Shiki and Neku: !?
Neku: What!?
Uzuki: Only an idiot would screw up on Day 1.
Neku: Who’s there!?
Shiki: Oh, no... A Reaper?
Neku: Reaper...
Uzuki: You two are gonna get erased sooner or later. So come on. Help a girl out
and earn me a few extra points, ‘K? [Uzuki summons more frog Noise]
Neku: Those monsters again...
Shiki: Neku, you know how to fight now, right? This time focus your thoughts on
me!
Neku: What? Fight your own battles!
Shiki: Please! To stop the Noise!
Neku: ...Fine. Come on!
[Neku and Shiki fight the frog Noise]
Shiki: Good! Now we can fight together! We can beat the Noise faster as a team!
Let’s do this!
[Neku and Shiki fight the frog Noise]
Neku: Is it over?
Shiki: Not yet, Neku! Over there!
[a large Noise symbol appears]
Neku: (Whew... This one looks though. ...Like I’ve got a choice.) Hey! Stalker!
Shiki: I’m not a stalker!
Neku: Whatever. Just... Don’t mess this up!
Shiki: I...I won’t!
[Neku and Shiki fight the bear Noise]
Shiki: Whew... We did it... But you heard her... Day 1 is nothing. What if the
missions only get harder? We’ve got six more days... Are we gonna make it? I...I
don’t want to be erased...
Neku: (I can’t believe this... Why am I stuck here? What if I’m erased!? What
the hell kind of game is this? This can’t be right. Gaaah! I’m really stuck
here? In Shibuya!?)
[The 1st Day: Reapers' Game. Chapter End]
********************
Week 1, Day 2 [w1d2]
--------------------
Neku: Nngh... ! Where am I now?
Shiki: ...I hope this works out.
Neku: Hey!
Shiki: Aaack! Don’t scare me like that!
Neku: (Grow up. You’re obnoxious...)
Shiki: Umm...Is something wrong?
Neku: Where are we?
Shiki: Isn’t this the underpass by the station? I can hear the trains.
Neku: (That’s weird. How’d we get here?)
[A beep from their mobiles]
Shiki: There’s the mission! [Shiki looks at her mobile] "Set the cursed
sculpture free. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. --The Reapers"
[Neku and Shiki flinch]
Shiki: Oww!
Neku: [looks down at his right palm. It says 59:45] Timer’s back. What’s it for?
Shiki: The mission. ...You really don’t know? If we don’t clear the mission
before the timer hits zero, we’ll both be erased!
Neku: (Sounds crazy to me. But...maybe not that crazy. I saw it happen to those
people by the station. And met a Reaper. ...I can’t believe I’m even
entertaining that thought. But I know what I heard.) ! (...Wait.) [looks at his
phone] Why’d the date change on my phone?
Shiki: A day must have gone by.
Neku: What!?
Shiki: I think we fell asleep after the mission. But that’s OK. We need to focus
on today!
Neku: (Have you lost your MIND? It’s anything but OK! We were in the middle of a
street, in broad daylight! Why would we fall asleep!?)
Shiki: So...this "cursed sculpture"-- it’s gotta be talking about the statue of
Hachiko.
Neku: (Maybe we passed out. And then...woke up here? Everything between is a
blank.)
Shiki: But then what’s the curse? ...Neku?
Neku: (Did somebody drag us here? Or--)
Shiki: C’mon, Neku, pay attention!
Neku: ......
Shiki: Hey! What, now you’re ignoring me? If we don’t work together, we’ll fail
the mission!
Neku: ......
Shiki: You don’t have to be like this. Sigh... What am I doing wrong? ...... All
right! No point in standing here. Let’s go find Hachiko.
| Shiki: The "cursed sculpture" must be Hachiko. It's the most famous
| statue here!
|
| Neku: ......
>
> Reaper: ......
>
> Neku: Where have I seen this guy before...
>
> Shiki: Neku! Hachiko is this way!
>
> Neku: (......)
>
> Shiki: Come ON!
>
> Neku: (Ugh... Go yourself.)
[Neku and Shiki move to the exit, but Neku hits an invisible wall]
Neku: Oww!
Shiki: What? Another wall!?
Neku: (So now we’re trapped in here.)
Shiki: No... We’ll never finish the mission now.
Neku: (All she ever does is whine...) ...Why not?
Shiki: Because this is the way to Hachiko.
Neku: (Then we have to get through. We got past the wall yesterday. Is there
some kind of rule?)
Shiki: What should we do?
Neku: ......
Shiki: Don’t just stand there. Think of something!
Neku: (I AM thinking.) [turns to face Shiki] (Maybe if for just one minute you
could stop your bi-- Huh?)
Shiki: Neku, what is it?
Reaper: ......
Neku: (That guy in the red hoodie. I’ve seen him before.)
Shiki: Neku. What are you looking at? [turns] That guy... You know him?
Neku: (I remember... He was at the crossing yesterday, by the wall. Who is he?
I’m gonna try reading his mind.)
| Neku: Something about that guy in red... I'm gonna scan him and see
| what his deal is.
Neku: [tries to scan the Reaper] ? Hmph.
Shiki: What is it?
Neku: I can’t read him.
Shiki: What!? You can’t scan him?
Neku: (I had no trouble scanning people yesterday. Maybe the rules changed?)
[looks at the Player pin] (Or maybe the pin is broken.)
Shiki: Can we finish the mission without being able to scan?
Neku: [turns to look at the Reaper] (Hmm... What if it’s just him? Maybe he’s
special.)
Shiki: Neku!
Neku: [turns around to face Shiki] (Ugh...) What now!?
Shiki: That guy is coming right towards us!
Reaper: You. Scan and erase all the Noise in this area.
Shiki: Huh? What are you talking about?
Neku: (Are those the conditions to move on?)
Shiki: I don’t see any Noise!
Reaper: The world is more than just what you see. [he walks off]
Shiki: He left. What a creepy guy.
Neku: (I don’t know what his deal is... But he’s part of the Game, that’s for
sure. Which can only mean one thing. Interesting... His kind can’t be scanned?)
...... [looks at the Player Pin] ("The world is more than just what you see." So
to find the Noise...) Hey. Let’s get rid of the Noise.
Shiki: How? They’re not here!
Neku: Yes they are. We have to scan for them.
Shiki: You think? All right! Let’s try it. But first... I meant to ask you. [she
indicates the Pyrokinesis pin] Shouldn’t you try some other pins? You’ve got
more, right?
Neku: Pins?
Shiki: Yeah! They should've given you a whole bunch.
Neku: [searches his pockets, and finds a Pyrokinesis, Thunderbolt,
Psychokinesis, Force Rounds and Shockwave pin and two Player pins] (You’re
right... In my pocket.)
Shiki: Why not test them out?
Neku: How?
Shiki: Remember the flame pin yesterday?
Neku: This one? [holds up the Pyrokinesis pin]
Shiki: Well, I wasn’t able to use it. So maybe--
Neku: I get it. Certain pins only work for certain people. I’ve got to try them
all and see. (...Talk about a hassle. All right, let’s see what I can do.)
| Neku: (We need to defeat some Noise to proceed. I can see 'em with a
| scan, right?
|
| Shiki: Hey, why don't you try those new pins out? If anybody can use
| them, it's you!
[Neku and Shiki fight some Noise]
Shiki: You were right. We have to scan to see the Noise.
Neku: (That takes care of them all.)
Reaper: Objective met.
Shiki: But what about the wall? It’s still-- [she turns around] Huh!? It’s gone!
Why?
Neku: Because we took out the Noise.
Shiki: [faces Neku] So that’s the trick to getting past the walls. But...that’s
odd.
Neku: What’s odd?
Shiki: I heard you can only beat the Noise in pairs. But I fought them alone.
Neku: Hmm, me too...
Shiki: I couldn’t see you while I was fighting.
Reaper: [off screen] That’s because he was in the other zone.
Neku and Shiki: !?
Shiki: Huh?
Reaper: [approaches Neku and Shiki] The Noise exist simultaneously in two zones.
And the only way to defeat them is by purging them from both.
Shiki: Wait, but-- What is with that guy?
Neku: (He knows too much... He must be one of them.)
Shiki: Well, anyway...You did great.
Neku: What?
Shiki: You were able to use all the pins!
Neku: [looks at all his pins] So?
Shiki: You’re like some sort of psych genius!
Neku: (Come on. Using a couple of pins doesn’t make anyone a genius. Don’t be
naïve. The bigger question... is where these came from.)
Shiki: Huh? Neku. You have two Player Pins.
Neku: So?
Shiki: So why two? You only need one.
Neku: (How should I know? Why do I have any of them? I need them for psychs, so
I can stop the Noise from killing me. But how’d I get ‘em?)
Shiki: Well, umm... Two is better than one! So, like, don’t feel bad!
Neku: (You’re the one who said I only need one...)
Shiki: Think how lucky I am! My partner’s a psych whiz. A genius! You’re a
genius, Neku! I’d never make it without you!
Neku: [turns away] (If you’re going to flatter someone... you could try to sound
a little genuine.)
Shiki: Neku, you listening?
Neku: ......
Shiki: Stop that. I’m just trying to be nice.
Neku: I’m listening.
Shiki: Well, how am I supposed to tell when you just stand there? You should
take off those headphones. It’s rude.
Neku: [faces Shiki] Would you shut the hell up! I just met you. I don’t like
you. [turns away] And I don’t give a rat’s ass if you think I’m rude!
Shiki: You don’t have to yell... What am I going to do? ......
Neku: (Now she’s playing with her phone? Forget this.) [leaves]
Shiki: Hey! Wait up!
[Neku and Shiki exit the Station Underpass to the West Exit Bus Terminal]
Shiki: [off screen] Neku...Stop! Wait for me! [she catches up] Where are you
going? I’m your partner!
Beat: [off screen] ...Gotchu punks now.
Shiki: ! Wha-- Who’s there!?
Beat: You got us good yesterday, but today I’ma crush you, yo!
Shiki: Um... What? You’ve got the wrong person. Neku, you know this guy?
Neku: Don’t insult me.
Beat: [approaches Neku and Shiki] Need a hint? Go ask your friends.
Shiki: "Friends"? What are you talking about?
Beat: Shut up, yo! You ain’t foolin’ me! I can’t scan you. You gotta be widdem!
You can’t outsmart me, yo.
Shiki: Wait! Just--
Rhyme: [off screen] Beat! Stop it! They’re not Reapers! They’re Players, just
like us.
Beat: What?
Rhyme: [indicates the Player pins] See? They’ve got Player Pins. Players must
not be able to scan each other. Remember? You couldn’t scan me either.
Beat: ...... Oh. Yo, sorry I jumped to conclusions...
Shiki: No worries. You just gave us a start.
Beat: Yesterday this pink-haired chick cornered us before we could get to 104.
Then pinky sicked a buncha Noise on us... Messed us up bad, yo.
Shiki: So that’s why you were out for payback.
Beat: Yup. ...Hey, hold up. We should do introductions. The name’s Beat. And
this is my... my partner, Rhyme.
Rhyme: Hello!
Shiki: Hi! I’m Shiki. That over there’s Neku. He’s my partner.
Neku: [facing away] ......
Beat: Wha’s with the phones? He still mad?
Shiki: No...he’s just Neku. Don’t feel bad.
Beat: ...Hey, I know! Lemme give you a tip to make up for jumpin’ yas. You
figure out how to use your phones yet?
Shiki: You mean our cell phones? Well...we don’t get any calls... Sending
messages doesn’t work either. All we do is check the mission mail. Why? Do they
do anything else?
Rhyme: We played around a bit and found some things--
Beat: Whoa, you mean you ain’t usin’ yours? You two gonna get owned down the
road, yo!
Shiki: Umm... I guess...
Beat: It’s cool! You two got questions, ask us. Gotta put our heads together,
you feel me?
Got any questions for Rhyme and Beat?
> Using the phone
Shiki: So about the phone...
Beat: Yeah. You can use it to pick out your pins.
Shiki: Pick them out? How?
Rhyme: Well... [Rhyme shows a Cure Drink] Why don't you take this pin? Then you
can try it out!
Shiki: We can keep it?
Rhyme: Sure. We had extras.
Shiki: Wow! Thanks!
> The pink-haired chick
Shiki: So who's the girl with the pink hair?
Beat: Heh, that cow?
Rhyme: She attacked us in the scramble crossing. Those black wings... She's
prob'ly a Reaper.
Beat: Yeah, we couldn't scan her.
Shiki: So, it doesn't work on Reapers...
Rhyme: Or on other Players, apparently.
Shiki: Guess we found that out the hard way.
Beat: Sorry...
Shiki: So if she's a Reaper, does that mean she gives out the missions?
Beat: Who knows... Yo, that reminds me-- 'sup with today's mission? It don't
make sense.
Rhyme: Yeah, about that...
> The Reaper's Game
Shiki: Do you know anything about the Reaper's Game?
Rhyme: Just that you have to stay alive for seven days.
Beat(?): And somethin' about a new mission every day.
Shiki: The Reapers send them?
Beat: Gotta be. It's their Game, right?
Shiki: And if we fail the mission, they erase us.
Rhyme: ...Maybe not.
Shiki: ! Really!?
Rhyme: Beat and I never made it to 104. But here we are.
Beat: So like... we don't gotta play? Sweet!
Rhyme: It's too early to say. We should carry out the missions. I don't want to
find out what happens if these timers hit zero. Do you? Thankfully, ours
vanished yesterday before time ran out.
Shiki: Hmm... Ours went away when we got to 104.
Rhyme: Hey, you think you and Neku finishing the mission might've got Beat and I
off the hook?
> Today's mission
Shiki: What's your take on the mission?
Beat: The cursed sculpture or whatever?
Rhyme: It's gotta be Hachiko.
Shiki: Yeah! That's just what I said! But what's the curse?
Rhyme: Hmm... You got me.
Shiki: We should probably start by heading that way.
Beat: Can't. There's a wall, yo.
Shiki: Again? What's up with that? We keep hitting these invisible walls...
Beat: I think we trapped in here, or somethin'. I tried breakin' the walls, and
they don't break.
Rhyme: But some you can get through.
Shiki: Hmm...
Rhyme: We noticed guys in red by the walls we were able to pass.
> No more questions!
Shiki: Thanks for all the info! ‘Specially about the phone! That’s gonna be a
huge help.
Rhyme: Heh heh. Good! Always happy to help.
Shiki: I feel ready to take on anything!
Beat: Yeah, well-- you might not wanna say that. Rhyme’s thinkin’ things is
gonna get tough. Yo, we should all work together!
Rhyme: They say two heads are better than one. And four has to be better than
two!
Shiki: Great idea! I am so in! It’ll be more fun that way. Right, Neku?
Neku: [offscreen] ...Do what you want. I work alone.
Shiki: [turns around] What!? Neku, you can’t mean that!
Neku: Forget it. I can’t take one more minute of your nagging. I don’t need a
bunch of strangers bringing me down.
Shiki: Neku! How can you say that?
Neku: (Don’t ask me. Maybe I’m just angry.)
Shiki: We’re on your si--
Neku: I can’t scan you. You could be Players... or you could be Reapers. I have
no way of knowing.
Shiki: But the Player Pins!
Neku: That’s not enough.
Beat: Yo, Phones! What the hell’s your problem!? We just lookin’ out for you,
and you treat us like this?
Rhyme: Don’t get angry, Beat... I can see where Neku’s coming from. I shouldn’t
have opened my big mouth...
Beat: Aw, Rhyme... Rrgh... You piece a’ DIRT! Screw you! We don’t want your
help! Le’s bounce, Rhyme. [Beat and Rhyme leave]
Shiki: Wait, no! We’re sorry! ...They left. [turns around] Nice going, Neku! We
should all stick together, and you know it!
Neku: Then why don’t you go with them?
Shiki: Listen to yourself... We’re partners, Neku. But I don’t understand you!
Let me in! Tell me what you’re thinking!
Neku: Let yourself in. You can scan me.
Shiki: You know that’s impossible! Besides, we’re right here. Let’s just talk to
each other--
Neku: [turns around] And say what? I’m not opening up to anyone. Ever. Other
people just hold me back. I can do things my own way. [leaves]
Shiki: N-Neku! Sigh... Tell me what I’m supposed to do...
| Shiki: So Neku, have you got the hang of wearing pins? You can't fight
| the Noise unless you have some on.
|
| Neku: [turns around] ......

> Man: [off screen] ...C'mon. ...You can tell me. ...Something on your

> Neku: (That guy... Who is he talking to?)

> Man: ...Tell me what's ailing you. ...We're not all made of stone.

[Neku and Shiki approach the Bus Terminal Exit]
Reaper: ......
Neku: (Another guy in red. We must be headed towards a--)
[Shiki moves past Neku to hit a wall]
Shiki: Ouch! A wall.
Neku: (I knew it.)
Shiki: [faces Neku] So... We just have to defeat some Noise, right?
Neku: (She is so SLOW! Do I have to do everything?) [walks past Shiki]
Shiki: Neku! Where are you--
Neku: I know what you are.
Reaper: My terms: Lift the statue’s curse.
Neku: You’re a Reaper.
Reaper: I don’t get paid to chitchat. Play the Game. [leaves]
Neku: (Hmph. That was a waste of time. Lift the statue’s curse, huh? That sounds
just like the mission. But Hachiko is PAST the wall...) ! (Wait--)
Shiki: [off screen] Neku... [she catches up] Please, STOP walking off without
me!
Neku: Hey.
Shiki: Arrgh! My name is Shiki. Can you say "Shiki"?
Neku: Hey, I see another statue.
Shiki: Oh yeah! The Moyai!
Neku: Like Easter Island? What’s a Moai doing here?
Shiki: "Moyai"! With a Y! Never thought about where it came from...
Neku: Think it’s cursed?
Shiki: I don’t know. It looks pretty normal to me.
Neku: Let’s find out.
| Neku: So we need to lift the statue's curse. Which means that Moai--
|
| Shiki: Mo-YAI.
|
| Neku: [turns around] (Whatever. Let's check it out.)
[Neku and Shiki scan and see Noise around the Moyai statue]
Shiki: Noise!?
Neku: That must be the curse. Maybe if we erase all that Noise, we can lift it.
| Shiki: Neku!
|
| Neku: I know, I'll take care of it. The Noise buzzing around the Moyai,
| right?
[Neku and Shiki scan and battle the Noise symbols around the statue]
Reaper: Objective met. [the wall is removed]
Shiki: So the Moyai was possessed by Noise... and we had to scan to find it.
Neku: (The guy in red... Yup. He’s gone. But we can probably get through now.)
Shiki: We freed the cursed sculpture. Does that mean we cleared the mission?
Neku: No, that was just to cross the wall. See? My clock’s still ticking. [he
shows his right palm. It says 32:15]
Shiki: Yeah...mine too. [turns] Well, at least the wall’s gone.
Neku: Let’s go find this "Hachiko"...Our real target.
Shiki: Neku... You talk like you’ve never heard of it.
Neku: Nope. What’s Hachiko?
Shiki: WHAT!? How can you live in this country and not know Hachiko?
Neku: ......
Shiki: Remember where we met yesterday? There’s a statue of a dog in the plaza.
That’s Hachiko. Now, I have a question. How’d you figure out how to get past the
wall?
Neku: ......
Shiki: Not again...
Neku: ......
Shiki: ...... All Right! Fine. Let’s just head for Hachiko.
| Shiki: C'mon, Neku. Let's head over to Hachiko!
>
> Man: [off screen] ...Oh. ...You're all better now! ...I'm so glad.
>
> Neku: (He can tell!? In a way, that's pretty impressive.)
>
> Man: ...Hey. ...Hachiko seems down lately. ...Don't you think?
>
> Neku: (Hachiko is feeling down? Does that mean it's cursed, too?)
> [At the West Exit Bus Terminal. Scan the man in front of the Moyai
> statue] {All better}
> That's the spirit, Mr. Moyai! Things are looking up for you, I can
> tell. Remember, you can always lean on me.
[Neku and Shiki exit the West Exit Bus Terminal]
[POV switches to an unknown area]
Higashizawa: ...... That young lady... She has just the ingredient I need.
[POV switches to Neku and Shiki. At the Statue of Hachiko]
Shiki: We made it! And with plenty of time left!
Neku: (This is where we met yesterday... So the two places are connected.)
Shiki: OK! Let’s lift Hachiko’s curse!
Neku: And how do you propose we do that?
Shiki: Well...umm... Maybe we could erase the Noise around it, or...yeah.
Neku: (She’s clueless. This is why I can’t count on other people. ...They’re all
clueless.)
| Shiki: Hey, I bet Hachiko's possessed by Noise, too. Scan the statue!
|
| Neku: [turns around] (But doesn't that seem too... easy?)
[Neku scans for Noise around the statue of Hachiko]
Neku: No Noise around the statue...
Shiki: You tried scanning? Then Hachiko must not be cursed?
Neku: (Could we have the wrong statue?)
Shiki: Huh? Hey, look, Neku!
Neku: (Crap...We don’t have time to hunt for another statue...)
Shiki: EARTH TO NEKU!
Neku: What!
Shiki: Something’s wrong with Hachiko.
Neku: Like what?
Shiki: Hmm...I’m not sure. But it looks different from when I saw it at Hachi
Fest.
Neku: Then let’s take a closer look.
[Neku and Shiki examine Hachiko]
Shiki: Hmm...Something is definitely off. When I saw him at Hachi Fest, Hachiko
wasn’t like this at all.
So...this dog statue is Hachiko?
> Take a closer look
Neku: (I should get a closer look...)
Shiki: Hmm...Hachiko seems less...lovable?
> Hachi Fest?
Neku: What’s Hachi Fest?
Shiki: Oh, it’s a blast! It’s this festival where you touch Hachiko for good
luck! If you touch the right place in the right way, your wishes come true!
Neku: Wow. Charming.
Shiki: They hold it every year. And each time, the place you have to touch
changes. But if you get it wrong...
Neku: ...You explode?
Shiki: You get cursed!
Neku: Hmm... Sound pretty extreme.
> Scout for more info
Neku: So this cure...
Shiki: Umm... I know something's off...
Neku: (Well, you just take your time. Cause, you know, we've got so much of it.
Meanwhile, I'm going to do some recon.)
| Neku: So, Hachiko's curse...
|
| Shiki: Why don't we start scanning around? Somebody else may know what
| to do.
[Neku scans the guy standing near the Moyai statue]
> [At the West Exit Bus Terminal. Scan the Guy near the Moyai Statue]
> {Hachiko}
> Hachiko seemed troubled, too. Were I only able to polish away the
> stains on his weary heart! Forgive me, Hachi...
Guy: ...Hey. ...Hachiko seems down lately. ...Don’t you think?
Neku: (What is it with this guy and statues?)
Guy: ...He must be like you. ...Drifting in a sea of woes... ...If only I could
polish all his pain away... ...Then he’d feel better. ...His heart would shine
again!
Neku: Polish away Hachiko’s pain? That’s...idiotic.
Shiki: Hey... Neku, we should try that!
Neku: [turns to face Shiki] Try WHAT?
Shiki: Polishing! Hachiko did look a little dirty. And I saw this weird marking
on him. What if it was some kind of hex?
Neku: (Or what if someone just went crazy with a magic marker? Well, if that’s
the only lead we’ve got...) All right. Let’s try it.
Shiki: Yeah!
| Shiki: Yes! Now we can free Hachiko from the curse. Let's hurry over to
| Hachiko!
|
| Neku: (...Do you ever shut up?)
[At the Statue of Hachiko. Neku and Shiki examine the statue]
Shiki: What should we do, Neku?
> Scout for more info
Neku: (I might be missing something... I should gather more info.)
> Polish Hachiko
Shiki: OK, Neku! Let’s polish like we mean it!
Neku: Isn’t that gonna...you know...create a scene?
Shiki: Don’t worry! No one’s watching. And so what if they see us?
Neku: (See us petting a piece of ROCK?) All right. Whatever...
Shiki: OK, Neku, let's polish like we mean it!
[Neku and Shiki polish the statue]
Hachiko: Grr...
Shiki: You say something, Neku?
Neku: Nope.
Shiki: You know... It seems the more we polish... the less this looks like
Hachiko...
Hachiko: GRRRRR....
Shiki: Stop growling and polish!
Neku: I’m not growling...
[A wolf Noise appears]
Shiki: Neku, something came out of the statue!
[Neku and Shiki battle the wolf Noise]
Shiki: Neku, we did it! The timer’s gone! So there was Noise possessing both the
Moyai AND Hachiko.
Neku: And our mission was to get rid of both.
Shiki: Hey, Neku...
Neku: Yeah?
Shiki: You said before you don’t need any friends.
Neku: Yeah. Your point?
Shiki: Well, you couldn’t have solved Hachiko’s riddle without me.
Neku: What? Get real.
Shiki: If I hadn’t noticed the pattern, we might not have cleared the mission.
Neku: Listen, Stalker. I don’t need you to solved one stupid riddle.
Shiki: Riiight. Well, if you ask me--
Uzuki: [off screen] Arrrgh! This is soooooo infuriating! What... You two again?
Neku and Shiki: !?
Shiki: Huh!?
Neku: That voice... You were at 104 yesterday!
Shiki: You’re that Reaper!
Uzuki: Well, excuuuse me for doing my job.
Shiki: Then it’s true?
Neku: (A Reaper... She gives out the missions?)
Uzuki: You know, you owe me a bowl of ramen. For not disappearing like you’re
s’posed to.
Neku: (This...girl is a Reaper?)
Uzuki: What’s wrong? Too spooked to answer? Well, this should bring you around!
[battle with a porcupine Noise and two wolf Noises]
Shiki: Huff...huff...
Neku: (Nngh... These Noise are tougher than the others...)
Uzuki: Wow. You’re, like, stronger than I thought. But I’m not done playing yet.
This next Noise will be a killer. [she summons more Noise]
Neku: (No... I can’t keep this up... I’ve got one chance.)
Uzuki: Hmm?
Neku: (I have to take her out!)
Uzuki: Please tell me you’re not planning on fighting me? Ha ha ha ha! How
stupid can you get? You’ll never win against a Reaper! But all right. I’m game.
I was getting bored anyway. [she erases the Noise]
Neku: (What!? She erased her own Noise?)
Uzuki: You seem surprised.
Neku: Aren’t the Noise on your side?
Uzuki: Eww, gross! Don’t group us together. The Noise are nothing but tools.
Pawns. Just like you Players. Ha ha!
Neku: (Rrgh...I can’t let this brat win! But can I stop her? I have no idea how
strong she is... Doesn’t matter. I have to try!)
Shiki: Don’t, Neku! You don’t want to take her on! She can erase you in a
second! Ohh...
Neku: Hmph.
Uzuki: Aww, what? You’re giving up? Booo-ring. Don’t get my hopes up like that.
Killjoy. Now that I’m in the mood... maybe I should finish the job.
Neku: Huh!?
Uzuki: But...I can’t do that.
Neku: (Huh?)
Uzuki: Well, this is a pickle... Hmm... I know! Let’s try something fun! A
special bonus challenge for you! If you pull it off, I’ll let you out of the
Reapers’ Game!
Neku: You...you will?
Uzuki: You betcha! Sweet deal, huh? So, like, what do you say?
Neku: (A ticket out...)
Shiki: Neku, don’t! Don’t listen!
Uzuki: You back there. Shut up! Now, are you in, or are you out?
Neku: ...I’m in.
Shiki: Neku!
Uzuki: Whee! ‘Atta boy! Now, let’s get started. Oh, I forgot to mention. If you
fail... I erase you.
Neku: What!?
Uzuki: Thankfully the rules are veeery simple. You have one minute...to erase
that girl.
Neku: What? Erase her?
Uzuki: Yup. Poof! Kaput! Easy, right? Just pretend you’re erasing the Noise.
Whew, this one’s already in the bag. All right. Ready? Start!
Neku: (W-wait! Dammit... She’s asking me to kill someone. There’s no way I can
do that. But if I don’t...)
Shiki: Neku...
Uzuki: 30 seconds! Still on the fence? Then let me give you an incentive. That
girl? She’s been spying for the Reapers.
Neku: What? She’s a spy?
Shiki: Hey! What are you saying!
Uzuki: Thanks for checking in so often. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Shiki: Shut up! Don’t lie! Neku...She’s making all of this--
Neku: Your phone. Why did you keep playing with your phone?
Shiki: Huh!? Oh... I was...just...
Uzuki: Just SPYING. She’s not very good at covering it up.
Shiki: I didn’t spy! I swear!
Uzuki: G’bye. And thanks for playing. 10 seconds... You’re the star, kiddo. Just
do things your way.
Neku: ......
Uzuki: What are you waiting for? Do what comes naturally. Save yourself. Screw
everybody else, right?
Shiki: Don’t, Neku. Don’t kill me...
Neku: I have to.
Shiki: Please...don’t kill me.
Neku: I have to
[Shiki backs away from Neku. Neku lifts her by the throat using Psychokinesis]
[The 2nd Day: Don't Kill me. Chapter End]
********************
Week 1, Day 3 [w1d3]
--------------------
Neku: Nngh... ! What is this place? It’s dark... Is it nighttime? No, I’m
indoors. ! Wait! The girl! [Neku looks around] ...... ...... She’s gone.
(Because of me...)
[Shiki backs away. Neku lifts her by the throat using Psychokinesis]
Neku: ...... I need to get out of here. Where’s the exit? [Neku looks at his
Pyrokinesis pin] If I use this pin for a light... ? Huh? It doesn’t work. So I
can’t use pins. (Oh, well. I’ll just have to feel my way around.)
> [At the Concert Stage. Scan the guy at the back] {Out of whack}
> This is crazy. I can't figure out what the hell is out of whack.
[Neku moves towards the exit]
Neku: ! (Footsteps? Somebody’s coming this way...)
Shiki: [off screen] Ooh... So dark...Where am I?
Neku: Show yourself!
Shiki: Ahhh!
Neku: You?
Shiki: Neku!? [approaches] You scared the crap out of me! Don’t do that.
Neku: I scared YOU? Where the hell have you been?
Shiki: It was dark. I was looking for a way out! I must’ve tripped a half a
dozen times.
Neku: [takes out the Pyrokinesis pin] (Hmm, time to try this again.)
Shiki: Neku, pins only work when we fight Noise.
Neku: Really?
Shiki: Well...with a few exceptions.
Neku: (Like psychokinesis...) W-well...It’s dark. You should be more careful.
Shiki: You kidding? I already found the exit!
Neku: Then why didn’t you lea--
Shiki: I’m not going anywhere without you.
Neku: ......
Shiki: C’mon, I’m not that useless, am I?
Neku: ...... Don’t do anything dumb like wander off.
Shiki: Excuse me? Which one of us has been acting dumb?
Neku: .......
Uzuki: What are you waiting for? Do what comes naturally. Save yourself. Screw
everybody else, right?
Shiki: Don’t, Neku. Don’t kill me...
Neku: I have to. [lifts Shiki by the throat with Psychokinesis]
Uzuki: Now let’s see some results!
Mr. Hanekoma: [off screen] Hey! That’s enuffa that.
Uzuki: ! Who are you?
Mr. H: Ah-ah-ah, sister. You gotta play by the rules. Making "erase your
partner" the mission is a clear violation.
Neku: It is!?
Uzuki: I know that. I was just having a little postgame fun.
Neku: What!?
Mr. H: One mission per day. That’s the rule. And only the Game Master can pick
the missions.
Uzuki: I know that, too! But I’m not the Game Master. Which MEANS this wasn’t a
mission, which MEANS I didn’t break any rules!
Mr. H: Then start walkin’, sister. Your work’s done for the day.
Uzuki: ...Hmph. For a Player... you know a lot about our rules.
Neku: You...you tricked me! All that about letting me out of the Game-- that was
all a lie!
Uzuki: Like, that is so rude! I do not lie. If I erased you, that’s still
letting you out of the Game! Ugh, you totally ruined all my fun. Time to call it
a day. We can play some more another time. [leaves]
Shiki: Thank you so much. We owe you our lives, Mister...um...
Mr. H: Hanekoma. Sanae Hanekoma. Think of me as a sort of...guardian. I watch
the Game, to make sure shady types don’t start bendin’ the rules.
Neku: That Reaper tricked us.
Mr. H: You mean she tricked YOU.
Neku: ......
Mr. H: You ignored the young lady, fell into a trap, and very nearly snuffed her
for good.
Neku: ......
Mr. H: If you think you can do everything yourself, you’re in for some hard
lessons. Now! Apologize to the young lady.
Neku: ‘Scuse me?
Mr. H: Hard feelings don’t make for good teamwork. You wanna survive or not? Go
on!
Shiki: ......
Neku: ...... ...Sorry.
Shiki: Neku... I, um... F-forget it. I’m over it. I mean, you didn’t... She made
you do it, right? And I should’ve stood up for myself better. So let’s just put
it behind us.
Mr. H: There! Problem solved! Now listen up, you two. There’s only one way to
stay alive in this Shibuya. Trust your partner! Especially you, Phones.
Neku: "Phones"?
Mr. H: You know what trust is, right? Partnership is essential to surviving the
Game. Alone, you face limitations. But partner up, and you can smash right
through them. Same goes for when you fight the Noise. You may think you’re
alone, but you’re not. Your partner is in the other zone, sharing your energy.
So you gotta sync up and send that energy back and forth.
Neku: ......
Mr. H: You won’t sync up unless you OPEN up. Talk to her! Tell her how you’re
feeling. Lay it on her! That’s the fastest way to get something across.
Shiki: He’s right, Neku! Look...I know I hold you back. I’m not that good at
psychs... But still! I want to win at this Game. And I want us to do it
together! So tell me what you’re thinking! I just want to understand you!
Neku: ......
Shiki: Neku?
Neku: I want to understand me, too... But I don’t.
Shiki: What...
Neku: I can’t remember anything but my name. I woke up in the intersection with
no clue how I got there, no clue why I’m part of this stupid Game. I don’t know
anything. Because I can’t remember...anything.
Shiki: But... That means...what? You have amnesia?
Neku: ......
Mr. H: Sorry to hear it, boss...That’s rough.
Shiki: I can’t believe you’ve lost your memory... You could’ve told me sooner.
Neku: I didn’t know.
Shiki: It did strike me as kind of strange that you knew nothing about Shibuya
or the Game.
Neku: What, like you do?
Shiki: Well, I don’t know EVERYTHING, but... Anyway. We got lucky. Thanks to Mr.
Hanekoma and his advice. I feel like you and I can finally talk. And he gave us
that awesome pin! [beep from their cellphones] Ahhh! That almost gave me a heart
attack!
Neku: Hey, you dropped your phone--
Shiki: Ahh! Don’t touch it! I got it!!!
Neku: [looks at the wallpaper of Shiki's cellphone] (Nice photo.)
Shiki: ...You looked?
Neku: The screen was face up...
Shiki: That’s my friend. She was in my class.
Neku: So all those times--
Shiki: Yeah. I was looking at this.
Neku: And you yell at me for keeping secrets! It’s just a photo. You don’t need
to--
Shiki: Look, Neku! The mission mail!
Neku: (...Huh? She’s covering? What else does she have to hide?)
Shiki: "Defeat the master of A-East. You have 360 minutes. Fail, and face
erasure. --The Reapers"
[Neku and Shiki flinch]
Shiki: Oww!
Neku: The timer. Guess we’d better get started.
Shiki: OK! Today’s mission has something to do with A-East.
Neku: ? A-East?
Shiki: It’s the name of a concert space. I’ve been there a bunch of times.
Neku: You seem to know Shibuya pretty well.
Shiki: Of course! I hang out here all the time. Follow me! I’ll take you to A-
East. The exit’s right over there.
| Shiki: First things first.
|
| Neku: (The exit.)
[Neku and Shiki exit the Concert Stage into A-East]
Shiki: !? Wait a sec...
Neku: What now?
Shiki: Umm... We’re here, heh heh...
Neku: You mean we were inside A-East the whole time? You know--
Shiki: How was I supposed to tell? They had all the lights off!
Neku: ......
Shiki: We’re ahead of schedule, so no griping. Now let’s go defeat that master!
Umm...once we, um, find it.
Neku: It was too dark to see anything inside.
Shiki: Then we better take care of the lights. Otherwise we’re more likely to
trip over it than defeat it.
Neku: How do we restore power? (Somebody around here must know...)
| Neku: We won't get anywhere without light.
|
| Shiki: Let's do some recon. I bet somebody around here can point us in
| the right direction.
777: Tsk, the hell is he? We gotta rehearse.
Neku: (What’s that guy grumbling about?)
777: Hey, perfect! You two.
Neku: ! Huh?
Shiki: Can we help you?
Neku: H-h-hey! Wait a sec--
777: Think you could do a guy a favor?
Shiki: Sure, if we can be of any help.
Neku: Shh! What’re you--
Shiki: Let’s hear him out. Sometimes all people need is a good listener. We
might even be able to solve his problem. If not, don’t worry. I promise I’ll say
no.
Neku: (You sap... Look at the bigger picture!)
777: My band’s supposed to play here in a few hours, but the tech’s been gone
all day. Could you go look for him? I gotta stay here and hold down the fort.
Man, where the hell’d that slacker go?
The tech is missing...
> Tech?
Shiki: So this tech’s part of the concert crew?
777: That’s right. He’s in a black tee. Got a lanyard ‘round his neck. Without
him, we’re screwed.
> Why can't you go?
Shiki: Why can’t you go find him?
777: ‘Cause I got a concert. I can’t go wondering off. The name’s 777 ("Triple
Seven").
Shiki: 777...
> 777
Shiki: 777... ! No way! Like 777, "Def March" vocalist and rising superstar
777!?
777: Oh, you’ve heard of us? Rock on. We’re still totally indie. But one day,
we’re gonna start a rock revolution, just wait an-- Nngh... CAWFF! CAWFF!
Shiki: Whoa, are you all right?
777: Yeah, my throat’s just sore. I had to shout a lot during load-in. It’s hard
to get anything set up without the tech.
Shiki: Oh, you poor thing..
Neku: (No tech, no show, huh? So if we find the guy...) You can rehearse if we
find your man?
777: Of course! It’s that, or call off the show. So how ‘bout it? Will you see
if you can find him?
Shiki: We want to help, but... We don’t really have time...do we?
Neku: ......
Help him find the tech?
> You got it!
Neku: Sure, we’ll do it.
Shiki: What? We will!?
