His Blessing

Digital art from The World Ends With You: A New Day, where Neku being trapped inside Coco's Dissonance Tapir, looking out and up at a glowing Joshua. Overlaid on the Tapir is Coco smiling wide and smugly with her hands raised up like "whatever". Joshua is facing away from the Tapir and Neku, with one hand raised casually as if he is handing Neku off to Coco.

Notes

I've been playing around with this idea for a couple years, that Coco and Joshua were working together in A New Day. Whether or not Coco was meant to get shot is another story. Coco may have to get back at Joshua for that.

It started as a comic focusing on how Joshua could have stopped Neku from getting shot but chose not to and Coco pissed at Joshua that they had A Deal. I had trouble with the paneling so I turned it into an illustration. It's a little messy but I'm happy with how it is right now cause I could at least finish something based on this idea.
