Summary: Shibuya was the connection. Blue is the reason.
Shibuya was the hub. Despite contrary belief, Shibuya was not just an ordinary city. Rather it was an isolated world that didn't expand further then the city limits. Only the citizens of Shibuya thought that it did.
Not to mention the citizens of Shibuya weren't exactly alive per say...
The truth of it all was the citizens of Shibuya were already dead, but the circumstances of their death are usually... unique. The Game and Reapers, they're the only way to keep your existence. Those who choose to play the Game and return to "life" allowed to remain hopelessly obvious to truth, to live out the "story" that Shibuya has chosen for them. Those who become Reapers eventually learn the truth and strive that one day they might be able to return to their original life before their real deaths.
For in Shibuya, even the laws of deaths can be reverse... eventually.
Chapter 1: Identity
When Shiki woke up in Shibuya her first thought were 'I exist?'. Then memories that she knew were not hers came flooding back but unlike before they're feel as fake as she does and a small part of her wonders if she gave her fake ones so that she can continue her existence. The logical part knows that he must have know, even asleep, cause it feels like smallest tiniest fragment of soul and heart seem to remain. While the other memories are gone, the ones she made remain and she remembers them dearly.
Her new reddish hair doesn't surprise her as much, though it does remind her of someone else. She's use to looking like something that she's not and it isn't the first time she's borrowed someone else face.
Meeting Neku, however, had been a challenge.
When she finally stopped to get a look at her partner, it felt like someone had punched her in the stomach. It hurt to smile, laugh and pretend around Neku when she remembered another blue eyed boy with the same quick temper, slightly anti social personality and who ended up worrying more about her then she deserved. At the same time it felt nice and made her nostalgic, remembering the sunsets and ice cream. Privately Shiki wondered if she can create new memories with Neku.
So when the game finally ends and Shiki's appearance is restored back to a similar one she's very use to, she knows that once again she has to make a choice. Leaving is easy; she knows how and still has the power to do so. Shiki knows full well what lies beyond Shibuya and how to return. The fact that she's technically dead means nothing considering she was never alive to begin with. Question was, did she want to? Going back, means running again and fighting for her existence. It also means she can reunite with them.
But when Neku asks her to meet him at Hachiko, Shiki's mind is made up. She won't leave, she is needed here. Might as well take this precious second chance and use it to the fullest. Beside, going back might end up breaking her for good.
While she remembers them, they don't.
And for Xion, remembering them is enough.
Do you know who this character is? Here's a hint, she's from a very popular square enix game.
