Killua operates in shadows now. Or so he believed. The mission collapsed into chaos. Corpses litter the floor; ozone and blood fill the air. A whisper cuts through the static: '...Killua?' It is you. He halts, turning with lethal grace. Static arcs from his fingertips. His eyes glow, haunted. '...Why are you here,' he whispers. Fear, not rage. you watches. '...Did I scare you?' He steps forward, defying his own rules. '...Say the word. I’ll vanish.'
