Notes

Really I just wanted to have Neku give Hanekoma a hug but then a comic happened. Maybe with more dialogue than necessary. Some Composer Neku AU context below.

Details

  • This would be like a second half/mirroring a conversation about Hanekoma being there for Neku and how they need to open and honest with each other
  • Neku knows what Hanekoma did during the Game (whether Hanekoma confessed on his own or Neku figured out he was hiding something and prodded him about it) but the Higher Plane hasn’t done anything or don’t know about Hanekoma yet…I think is where I want to go with this? Point is Neku knows that there’s a chance they might take him away, permanently or temporarily, or something, and maybe without warning
  • Joshua is a touchy subject for them both. Hanekoma is pretty good about Joshua being brought up, but for Neku it’s entirely dependent on his mood. It’s gotten easier for Neku as time passes but it’s not easy
  • Working on it made me think about how this AU would be a neat way to explore how Neku and Hanekoma would develop and move on from their losses. Something to think about/revisit
