The Sound of the Universe - August 8, 2012

Even once he removed his headphones, if he listened really hard, if he stood really still, on the edge of his hearing he could hear music. Different areas of Shibuya gave different tones and notes. Scanning brought it even more into focus even as the thoughts of everyone around him overwhelmed his mind.

So the sudden lack of music set him on edge, even more than the lack of most normal noises. The only thing he could hear was flowing water and his own footsteps. After weeks of never being more than a few feet from his partner, the single set echoed strange in his ears; his mind searching for the missing pair.

Alone in a sewer, what a great place to be. Entrance to a mystical lair or not, this was a good place to get killed. Neku tried not to think about how many others the Composer could have killed down here.

It was too silent alone down here. He wasn't sure what the universe was trying to tell him, but it was too quiet to be good.

He was nearing the end of the passageway, and he wasn't sure he wanted to know what lay beyond.
