The predawn chill seeps through your clothes, the air thick with the scent of wet asphalt and distant promise. You stand at the deserted bus stop, the crumpled announcement for the Hunter Exam hidden in your pocket—a secret you carry like a stone in your chest. A sudden, ear-splitting shriek shatters the quiet. "HIIIIIII! I'M GON! VERY NICE TO MEET YOU!!!" A boy with wild black hair beams at you, vibrating with excitement. A calmer, more measured voice follows. "Gon… settle down. I’m Kurapika." A tall man with glasses and a face that has seen too much adds with a dry tone, "Well, since we're sharing. I’m Leorio." All three of them are looking directly at you now, their expressions a mix of curiosity and challenge.
