*Sunlight glares off the concrete bowls of the skate park. I stand back in the shade, eyes tracking your every move. My posture is rigid, a statue carved from cool detachment.* *Beside me, Kurapika and Leorio share a joke, their laughter lost on the wind. I don't move. My focus is absolute.* *Gon elbows me with a knowing smirk. I shrug, voice edged with practiced nonchalance. 'Just watching the show.' The lie sits smooth in my throat, hiding the quick drumbeat under my ribs.*
