Names

Comic page 1 of 2 of Composer Neku and Joshua talking from the Composer Neku AU. Neku says "But you - Er, Joshua. Not you' Joshua but the one I -" Joshua cuts Neku off. "Enough. My name is Yoshiya Kiryu. You can call me Kiryu. That should avoid any confusion. Do you understand, Composer Sakuraba?"

Notes

Follows after 'Redecoration'. Neku understands the concept of parallel worlds but he’s struggling with separating the two “Joshua”s he has now met. “Kiryu” here, no matter how similar he can be to Neku’s “Joshua”, is not the same person and does not have the answers for “Joshua”.

Details

Originally Neku was going to be a bit more perceptive in that using last names is also easier for our Joshua with more exchange between them, but I wanted to keep this short and I’ll leave that for later when Neku is in a better mood and cares enough about our Joshua to pay attention and pick up on those details.

For Composer Neku AU topics, this was the last of the original ideas I had planned when I started this. There’s a couple more things I would like to add but the updates might not come out as quickly. But anything planned for Joshua and Neku will be more positive! Well, considering the circumstances. I promise this isn’t always a Sad Feels AU.
