Beat awoke with a vibrating phone giving him momentary discomfort. He looked at the silver phone and muttered, "What?" Beat then proceeded to look around the area he was in. He was in Cadoi city and Nanami was nowhere in sight. Weiss looked at his mission again and held his eyes closed while he collected his thoughts, "The mission is for players to find their partners. Assuming the lone wolf is an unpartnered player… the hunter would be a reaper." It was clear as mud, but he couldn't guess how the mission was fair. If even one noise attacked, it'd be over for him. But that would be against the rules. There were few things reapers weren't allowed to do for missions and this was on the borderline of the rules. Okami was taking every inch he was given and Weiss could tell he was near crossing the line. Still finding his partner couldn't be the hard part. At least not for him.
Beat reached into his pocket to find a phone. It was the one the reapers gave him, "Where are you Nanami?" He tapped the phone revealing a map of the city with only a few dots representing players. There was almost none left. After a glance he noticed only one active reaper. He was right about the lone hunter being a reaper. But surely he couldn't attack. Then one of the dots was removed from the map. It seemed the reaper very well could. Weiss had to race to find his partner if the reaper found him, it'd be over.
"What do you want with me?" Nanami asked him the conductor with her guard up. Sho didn't answer. Kotori would look at a clipboard and ask, "Who is your partner?" Nanami paused and looked at them both confused, "Weiss." The girl said guessing that information was free to give. Kotori would ask, "When did you make a pact with Weiss?" Nanami demanded to know, "What's this about?" Kotori looked at Sho and he told her in a serious tone, "Yeah, an inverse matrix." Kotori would nod, "The boy you know as Weiss entered the game in unauthorized manner. We don't know who he is, but he doesn't belong in this game. He's paid no price nor are we sure if he's even dead." Sho tapped his foot in waiting and Nanami began to wonder a lot of things about her partner. "So… Since I'm his partner… He's going to come here. What are you going to do with him?" Sho muttered, "Odds are we'll erase the son of a digit." With a look of pure horror Nanami couldn't believe it. "No…" Kotori tried to comfort the player, "We have no intention of erasing you. You're to be considered a victim of a rogue who is now cooperating with us." Sho tapped his foot in wait. Nanami could hardly believe what she was hearing. The girl could only worry, but she did decide to cooperate with them, "Weiss will be heading toward the Hachiko statue…" The conductor kicked the wall with incredible force causing the entire wall to shatter. Kotori would sigh as he could have just unlocked it. "Stay with us." Kotori said as her boss ran towards the Hachiko statue. There would no doubt be another work of "art" by the time she and Nanami got there.
Beat stood in the elevator going up to the top floor. The door opened revealing that he was in the upper floor of Darklit Entertainment. He walked past various works of art, awards, newest tin pin toys and original manuscripts of upcoming books in glass cases. He walked up to a pretty lady in business attire. "Here to see phones." The lady would ask, "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Sakuraba?" Beat would scratch the back of his head, "Who the hell is he?" Not realizing that was the person he came to see. The secretary would eye him as a fool, "Mr. Sakuraba is in a meeting with a client. Please return when you have made an appointment. Beat walked by her and opened the glass door, "Hey phones!" In the room were three men. Two black haired men wearing suits and one orange haired adult wearing a white and blue suit which was doubtless designed by Shiki. "Excuse me, gentlemen." Said the owner of Darklit Entertainment as he approached Beat, "Sorry I didn't make it to the hospital. My cellphone ran out of battery and my secretary is snotty." Beat responded by pulling up the newest skateboard design. A skeleton surfing on a shark across Shibuya. "Nice." Neku said taking the skateboard and looking at the artwork on it. "Beat… you haven't done one this good in a while."
Beat grinned, "Told ya I'd do it. Now what were you saying about the hospital? It ain't like you to miss out on Rhyme." Neku scratched the back of his head and looked at the two suited men, "I'll talk to you about this later." The two suits looked at each other displeased and left. Neku didn't seem to care, "As if I care if they merge with us…" Neku muttered. Beat interrupted his thoughts, "Yo! Why'd you take so long to find out about Rhyme? That deserves and asskickin, yo!" Clearly Beat was mad about that. Neku shook his head, "Can I get a raincheck on the asskicking? I think I need to get your new design out on the market." Beat told him, "It's good, eh?" Neku would look at it and say, "You made a hell of a visual imprint…" Beat said, "Yeah man! It came natural!" Neku said, "It's funny how you can make incredible imprints by accident. Everyone's got their talent." Beat thought about it, "Yeah… I can make visual imprints… You can make imprints with words… Shiki can only imprint on clothing… Hanekoma…" Neku stopped Beat there, "Hanekoma can use every type of imprint you can think of. But we all got some way we can touch the heart and mind of others. This Beat, this is art." He was proud of Beat.
"What's going on, chief?" Beat scrubbed a plate and looked to see his favorite Composer of Shibuya. The Composer ruled over the city and was the only one with the power to bring a human back to life at the end of the game. Some saw him as a glowing being of immense power, some saw him as a smug boy in a button down shirt and some saw whatever they wanted to see. Hanekoma preferred to see Joshua as the boy who came to him for advice. Perhaps it was this perception that made him see an eight year old standing before him. Hanekoma would either call him chief or, "Need something, kiddo?" Joshua didn't deserve that one, but Hanekoma had been alive for a very long time.
