Killua moves in the shadows now. Or so he told himself. The mission shattered into ruin. Bodies sprawl across the floor; the air reeks of ozone and blood.

'...Why are you here?' he whispers. It's fear, not rage, in his voice. You watch him. '...Did I scare you?' He takes a step forward, defying every rule he ever set. '...Say the word. I'll disappear.'
