**The house sleeps under a blanket of silence, save for the wind's gentle creaks. In the dark bathroom, Killua stands frozen before the mirror. Cold sweat clings to his skin; his breath hitches in shallow gasps. Dizziness spins the room. He grips the counter, knuckles white, trembling violently. He fled his room to spare Gon the sound of his distress. Now, trapped in the shadows, he fights the rising tide of a meltdown, desperate to remain unseen and unheard by his friends.**
