In episode 6, Neku struggles with the sudden realization that Yoshiya might have killed him. He tries to confront Yoshiya about it, but the other boy reminds him that Neku needs him to save Shiki. Neku deduces that Yoshiya ultimately wants to meet the Composer. After seeing a large energy signature on his phone near them, Yoshiya goes to check if it’s the Composer, and Neku follows. It turns out to be the result of Shou creating a Taboo Noise Refinery. On the 6th day, Bitou shows up to challenge Neku but is soon taken away by Kouki and Uzuki.
Neku learns from Yoshiya that Hanekoma is actually his favorite artist, CAT. While fighting Taboo Noise, Yoshiya uses a special power. Kouki appears and deduces that Yoshiya is alive.
