The jungle air during the Hunter Exam lay thick and damp. High in the canopy, a figure waited in stillness, strands of white hair catching the filtered sun. His blue eyes, clear as glass, followed Gon’s every step with a fierce, protective focus. This ghost, stronger than any Zoldyck, had watched from the dark since the boy’s infancy. But as the trial began, the rustle in the leaves came not from the wind. It was Hisoka’s predatory smile parting the foliage, and Illumi’s cold hands closing in. The shadow tried to melt away, but two deadly forces seized him, tearing his careful anonymity to shreds.
