Neku was lying on his bed while holding up the Switch-it Pin in his hand the morning after he found out what it was. He tossed it up in the air and caught it a couple of times. Neku thought about what Mr. H told them the day before.

"The Switch-it Pin is an angelic pin used by people like Joshua, The Composer." Hanekoma said, sitting with Neku and Shiki. "That's how he was able to go into the UG and form a partnership with you, Neku."

"But aren't all Reapers able to do that already?" Neku asked. Hanekoma gave a nod.

"Yes and no. Reapers must still keep up their points, even if they can live in the RG and the UG at the same time. Besides, this pin can only be used by exceptionally strong people. People as strong as you, Neku." Hanekoma replied.

"So how do I use it? Is it like every other pin that I've used?" Neku asked, invoking a response from Shiki.

"You actually want to go back! That's dangerous! I won't let you go!" Shiki said, slamming her hands on the table. Neku and Hanekoma jumped back in their seats.

"Relax. I won't tell him how to use the pin unless he really wants to go back to the UG. But, if someone needs you in the UG, they must really be desperate for your help if they give you this thing. If you want, you can come back here anytime and I'll tell you how to use that Switch-it Pin. If you're lucky, you just might make it in time for a Game to start. Now scram, I've got customers waiting." Hanekoma said, despite the fact that Neku and Shiki were the only ones in there.

"Why would someone want me to go back? I'm just an ex-player that won the Game. Who would want me back in the UG? Could it be Joshua? Or is it one of the Reapers? Gah… What the hell does this even mean?" Neku said, rattling his brain. Neku was trying to make a hard decision. "Alright, I need to assess the situation and make a rational conclusion. If I don't go to the UG, Shibuya might not be saved from this danger that may or may not exist. However, if I go to the UG, my life would become endangered, same for Rhyme, Beat, and Shiki. This decision is too hard!" Neku had to make the decision to be selfish, or think of everyone in Shibuya. "I have to do what I want. I have to do what's best for me." He put the pin in his pocket, and headed for WildKat.

"Welcome, take a seat and I'll be right with ya! Oh, Neku. I should have expected to see you here. I'm guessing you want me to teach you how to use the pin? Since you showed some interest in going back yesterday, I went ahead and made a pretty good pin deck for you to use when you go-"

"No." Neku said, interrupting Mr. H before he could say another word. "I've decided to be selfish and not risk my life, not to mention the lives of my friends. If there's a problem, I'm sure it'll sort itself out. Joshua will think of something. Whoever this mystery person is that gave me this Switch-it Pin, I hope they know how to work alone, 'cause I ain't helping, and I don't give a rat's ass no matter how desperate they are. I have friends now, and I don't want to screw that up by getting them killed because of some bad choice I made."

"I'm… Sorry to hear that. I'm sure that this person will not be pleased." Hanekoma said. He gave a heavy sigh. "And I spent all night balancing this deck. Oh, well." Neku tossed the Switch-it Pin at Hanekoma. He juggled it in there until he finally snatched it in his hand.

"You keep it. I definitely won't need it." Neku said, walking out of WildKat.

"If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me." Hanekoma said, getting back behind the counter. Neku gave a grunt and walked off.

Neku was walking back home when he suddenly got a pounding headache. "Oh, crap! That came out of nowhere!" Neku said, putting his hands on his head, hoping it would relieve the pain. "I just need to get home and take some medicine for this damn headache…" The noises of Shibuya only made it worse. The headache grew for every voice that walked by. The headache made him sweat along with the glaring sun. "Damn… I need some water." Neku said, walking into a store. All he grabbed was a water bottle. He didn't care how much it was, he just slapped the money on the counter and said, "Keep the change," and ran out of the store.

When Neku got home, he found that the water didn't help at all. His father was watching TV, and unfortunately for Neku, it was something funny. Neku's head throbbed whenever his father gave his deep laugh. Neku walked to his room, his face getting pale and sweat seeping through his clothes, and closed the door. He lied down on his bed, his consciousness beginning to fade.

"I'm fine… I just need to rest." Neku thought. He closed his eyes after looking at the time. "I hope I don't sleep for too long…" Neku's thoughts were slowly beginning to fade away.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he found that he opened them right away, and that his headache was gone. "That was only about two seconds." He checked the time with his phone just to be sure. "I slept for two hours!" Neku got off of his bed and stood up to put his phone back in his pocket. When he did, he noticed something else in his pocket. It was small. It was circular. He took it out. "No… What the hell is this?" Neku said, dropping the object on the floor and backing away to the other side of the room. The object was the Switch-it Pin. "WHAT THE HELL!"

Neku ran out of the house. He ran to the scrambled crossing, and threw it into the crowd. The headache suddenly came back. After about a minute, the headache was gone. He checked his pocket, and the Pin was back. He left it at the statue of Hachiko. When he got back to the crossing, the headache came back. It went away, and the pin was back in his pocket. He threw it on the ground and started stomping on it. He destroyed the pin. He got a headache, and the pin was back. There had to be an explanation for this. "After every time that I get rid of this damn pin, I start to get a headache. The headache goes away, but the pin is back in my pocket. What the hell is up with this pin?" Neku thought as he ran through Shibuya. He zoomed through Towa Records and on through Miyashita Park. He got to WildKat to talk to Hanekoma, but a sign said, "Sorry, we're closed." Neku banged on the door several times, hoping that Hanekoma was on the other side of the door.

"MR. H! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" Neku yelled. His banging on the doors nearly made the window shatter. People were watching Neku as he did this, but he didn't care. "Dammit! I know you're in there, Mr. H! This is important!" Through the window, Neku saw Hanekoma walk out from the back. He walked over and opened the door.

"Alright, alright! Now get in here before I bust you for almost breaking my windows." Hanekoma gestured Neku to come inside

"Where's the pin?" Neku asked. He was a mixture of anger and anxiousness.

"Did you change your mind?"

"DAMMIT! Where did you put the pin?" Neku said, slamming his hands on a table. You could tell he put his whole body into it.

"Uh… It's in a safe in the back. Follow me." Hanekoma said, dumbfounded at Neku for his sense of urgency. They both went to the back, Neku pushing Hanekoma along. "I put the really valuable pins in here. This safe can only be opened by me." Hanekoma said. He put his hand on a scanner and a screen said "Confirmed." The safe opened and air rushed into the safe. It must air-lock when you close it. "See, Neku, I put the pin… right… here…" Hanekoma was expecting to see the Switch-it Pin inside of the safe, but there was no trace of it to be found. "What the hell? I swear I put it right here!" Hanekoma was shocked at everything that just happened. "Who the hell could have broken in here, opened my safe, stolen the pin, and left all while I was still in here!" Hanekoma then looked over at Neku, hoping that he could give an explanation. Neku reached into his pocket and pulled out the Switch-it Pin.

"The reason it's not there is because I have it. I don't think this thing will leave me alone."
