Kaito stood in the middle of an intersection in an unknown city, examining his surroundings. Unlike the other Players, Kaito could defend himself alone. Suddenly, Neku ran into him and knocked him to the ground.

After Kaito got up, Neku said, "I've been looking everywhere for you. You know what we need to do." Kaito nodded and they made a pact again.

Once the lights faded, Neku said, "Today's mission is to reach the statue of Hachiko."

Kaito started to panic. "If you're asking me for directions, we're screwed. I have no idea where in the world we are."

Neku chuckled a little bit before saying, "Don't worry about it. This is my hometown, so I know it as well as the back of my hand."

"You should have told me that before I started freaking out."

"Maybe you should have let me finish first."

"Whatever, just lead the way."

"By the way, I'm curious. How did you die? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"Remember the guy with the long hair that tried to kill us on the seventh day?"

"It's kind of hard to forget the people that are trying to kill you, but continue on."

"Well, I got into a duel with him on the moon."

"The moon? It's no wonder why you died."

"I was adequately protected when I got there."

"So that means you lost and died, right? Though, it's kind of hard imagining you losing."

"Wrong, who said I lost? I won, but Orbital couldn't keep it together anymore, so I ended up dying because of a vacuum."

"As in the cleaner? I can see it now. The great Kaito was defeated by a vacuum cleaner."

"When I said vacuum, I meant an area where there is nothing inside, so I basically ended up suffocating to death."

"That sounds like a terrible way to die."

"Back then, it didn't matter if I died, as long as there was a chance of saving the future."

"I'd like to pretend I'm interested in what you're saying, but we need to start the mission."

They managed to make their way towards the dog statue, but there was a horde of Noise in their way. It wasn't hard, but very time consuming. They finished the first mission in the last ten seconds.

Neku sensed something was off because Kaito wasn't as fierce as he used to be. He asked, "Is everything alright? You seem to be a little on edge. If you want to talk about it, I'm here to listen."

Kaito paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know what to think anymore."

"If it's about the Game, you been through this before. Don't worry about Haruto, I'm sure he'll be very well taken care of."

"Haruto is not my entry fee this time."

"Sorry. I just assumed from last time."

"It's alright, even I was surprised about my entry fee."

"What happened? You seem to have changed."

"How would you feel if you found out most of your life had been a lie?"

Neku thought about it and remained silent.

Kaito thought about the moment his entry fee was taken.

He was standing in front of Joshua, the Composer. Joshua told him, "Your entry fee from the last Game was not what you truly held dear. The most important thing to you is something that you aren't even aware of."

This just confused him. He said, "That doesn't make any sense. How am I supposed to treasure something if I don't even know about it?"

"Your mind will not remember, but it has always been in your heart."

"Stop speaking in riddles. Will I be allowed to join the game or not?"

"Very well then, if you are so impatient, I will comply. There is something you should know. Your entry fee is the sense of security you felt with the false memories you had."

He suddenly experienced a headache that felt like his head was going to split apart.
